Maintenance

1. 

Periodic inspection for the general condition of structural and mechanical components is imperative for safe and efficient operation.

2.  Periodically inspect all moving parts, framework, drum holder and contact areas for signs of wear, fatigue, or loosening. Tighten, 

adjust, or replace parts as necessary to prevent failure and maintain proper function.

3. 

Inspect the hydraulic system for oil drips, hose damage, or other signs of wear. Inspect the level of the hydraulic fluid. Replace any 

parts that show signs of wear.

4.  Grease wheel bearings periodically. Oil or grease all moving parts, including: the gears and sprockets in the tilt drive, and the ratchet 

and pawl.

5.  Worn or damaged parts must be properly replaced with the correct, genuine Morse parts.

6. 

Hydraulic pump is shipped filled with Noco Premium plus automatic transmission fluid d/m. Material safety data sheet (msds) is 

available online. Change oil yearly, sooner depending on dirty conditions or outdoor use. Replace oil with Mobil dte 24 or equivalent 

for indoor use (Mobil dte 13 for outdoor use).
