Safety Information

While  Morse  Manufacturing  Co.  drum  handling  equipment  is  engi-

neered for safety and efficiency, a high degree of responsibility must 

be placed upon the machine operator to follow safe practices, based 

primarily on common sense, upon which true safety depends.

Failure to follow the safety precautions in this manual can result in 

personal injury or property damage. Observe the same precautions as 

with similar machinery where carelessness in operating or maintenance 

is hazardous to personnel. Carefully read the safety precautions below 

and throughout this manual.

Receiving Procedures

Every Morse drum handler is inspected prior to shipping. However, 

damage may be incurred during transit.

• Check for visible damage. If you choose to accept damaged freight, 

always sign noting the damage on the 

BILL OF LADING

• Document the damage and have the truck driver sign. We recommend 

keeping a digital camera at your receiving dock for this purpose.

• Open packages expeditiously to check the condition of the goods. 

There is only a 24 hour window to notify the carrier of any concealed 

damage.

• 

IMMEDIATELY REPORT ALL DAMAGE TO THE SHIPPING COM-

PANY!

 Then you may contact Morse for assistance with your freight 

claim.

• Morse Manufacturing will not be held responsible for any damaged 

freight that is not signed for as damaged.

Delivery to non-business addresses without a loading dock result in 

additional freight charges. Residential delivery fees, inside delivery 

fees, re-delivery charges, and lift gate services will be added by the 

truck line, and are non-negotiable.

Limited 2 Year Warranty

Morse  drum  handling  equipment  is  guaranteed  against  defects  in 

workmanship or materials for 

TWO YEARS

 when used properly within 

its rated capacity. Warranty does not cover wear from normal use or 

damage from accident or abuse. Motors and other purchased parts 

carry the warranties of their manufacturers.

For warranty claims, contact your Morse Dealer to obtain a return au-

thorization number, and for return freight advice. Return freight must 

be prepaid.

In  all  instances,  liability  is  limited  to  the  purchase  price  paid  or  to 

repairing or replacing the product. Customer assumes liability for any
