WARNING

 

- Stay Clear of Raised Drum.

 NEVER allow anyone to be below any part of a raised drum handler or drum.  

 

 

 

 

WARNING

 

- Do NOT Disengage the Grip Pad When Vertical Drum is Off the Ground.

 When the drum is in the    

 

vertical position, lower the drum to the floor before releasing the grip pads.

 

 

 

7.  After ensuring that the area in front of the MORStak

TM

 is clear, tilt the drum to the horizontal position by pushing the “HORZ” 

button on the pendant.  Do not raise the drum until you have reached the racking area.  It can be unsafe to move the 

MORStak

TM

 with a raised drum. 

8.  After the drum has been tilted to the horizontal position, rotate the grip pad clamp hand crank counter-clockwise to the full open 

position.  This will allow the drum to be cradled by the two parallel drum-supporting bars and allow it to be racked horizontally.   

 

 

 

NOTE: There are interlock switches built into the drum holder which are intended  

 

to prevent tilting when the drum is not properly positioned.  If the grip pad or the  

 

top drum rim is not properly positioned, the tilting function is disabled. 

 

9.  Drive the unit to the drum storage area and raise or lower the drum to a height that is a couple inches higher than the shelf 

height.  Drive the unit into the storage position and carefully lower the drum onto the rack.  The two parallel drum-supporting 

bars should be just below the walls of the drum but still above the rack.  This will allow clearance to withdraw the MORStak

TM

 

and leave the drum in the storage position.

To Take a Horizontal Drum from a Rack and Place Upright on the Floor

1. 

Tilt the drum holder assembly to the horizontal position and rotate the grip 

pad hand crank counter-clockwise to the full open position.  Raise the drum 

holder assembly to the approximate elevation of the drum to be taken down. 

Drive the MORStak

TM

 attachment up to the drum and adjust the height of 

the drum grab, if necessary, to clear the drum walls & rack. 

2. 

Drive the MORStak

TM

 forward until the “bridge” meets the head of the drum. 

(see Figure 3.2).  

 

 

 

 

DANGER

 

- It is Critical that the Bridge of the Drum Holder 

Assembly is Fully Pressed Against the Top of the Drum Before 

Lifting from the Horizontal Position.

 If the top of the drum is not 

seated against the bridge, the rim grip pads may not properly engage, 

and the drum can slide off.

 

 

 

NOTE: There are interlock switches built into the drum holder which are 

intended to prevent tilting when the drum is not properly positioned. The 

true safety of this operation, however, depends on the operator correctly 

positioning the drum in the drum holder, and verifying proper engagement  

of the rim grip pads.
