Controls

The Morse Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer is manually propelled and steered.

There are two functions for the operator to control:

1.  “LIFT” and lower function for vertical positioning drum

2.  “TILT” function to control the degree of rotation drum

1. LIFT and Lower Function (Figure 3.1)

To raise drum

a. Insert pump lever handle into pump socket.

b. With release valve closed, begin to pump lever handle.  Drum will lift.

To lower the drum

a. Open release valve slowly, a part of a turn.  Allow drum to descend at controlled rate. 

Valve may be reclosed to hold drum at any height.

2. TILT Function

To tilt drum

a. Turn hand crank to turn drum.

b. Before releasing grip on hand crank, pull out crank stop pin to block hand crank from 

spinning freely.

c. If drum handler is equipped with MORStop Tilt-Brake, there is no need to use stop 

pin.  Braking is immediate and self-actuating, without additional steps by operator. 

Note: To add MORStop Tilt-Brake to existing drum handler, order Kit 3900-P.

 WARNING

 - Watch out for pinch points

 

 

 

Stay clear of moving parts.  Operator should remain behind the  

 

 

 

push handle during the lift operation.

Floor Lock

Floor lock handle is located on left side of push handle.  Pulling floor lock handle toward operator until it locks in down position activates 

the floor lock.  When floor lock is activated it prevents unwanted free wheeling of unit.  Floor conditions determine effectiveness of floor 

lock.  Operator should verify its holding action before depending on it to hold.

Drum Holder Assembly

MORCINCH

TM

 Drum Holder assembly (“saddle”) is the component on Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer intended to hold drum.  Carriage assembly 

moves vertically along mast to position drum holder assembly at correct height to secure drum around it’s middle using cinch chain and 

ratchet tightening system.  The MORCINCH

TM

 Drum Holder accepts accessories to handle plastic drum, fiber drum, or a smaller diameter 

drum.

Scale

Scale is simple to use and to read enabling accurate batching by weight.  Touch pads include numbers for tare entry.  Four load cells 

accurately sense weight regardless of drum tilt angle.  Battery saving “sleep” mode turns indicator off when scale is not in use.

Figure 3.1

“T” Type 

Intrinsically safe 

scale indicator for 

use in hazardous 

areas.

“N” Type 

 

scale indicator 

NOT for 

hazardous 

environments.

N-Type Scale

Economical general purpose instrument for 

use in a variety of weighing applications. 

NOT for use in hazardous areas. Powered 

by six ordinary alkaline D-cell batteries.

T-Type Scale

Features an intrinsically safe, ultra low 

power intensity (ULPI) indicator for use 

in many hazardous areas, approved for 

all classes, groups in division 2 of N.E.C. 

hazardous environment classifications. The 

hand pumped or air powered drum handler 

with this intrinsically safe weighing system 

may be used in many hazard areas where 

ordinary electric powered equipment would 

be prohibited.
