WARNING
- Watch Out for Pinch Points
Stay clear of moving parts. Operator should remain behind the push handle during
operation of the lift or tilt mechanisms.
WARNING
- Tilt Drum Only When Arrow is Within Yellow Bar
The indicator panel shown in Figure 2.2 is located on the safety screen above the push
handle. When the arrow is within the yellow bar, the bottom of the upright drum will be
between 6” and 12” above the floor. The operator should make sure the drum holder and
drum will not come in contact with the floor, rack or other obstruction during tilting of the
drum or the drum could be dislodged, dropped or the MORStak could tip over.
Floor Lock
The floor lock handle is located on the left side of the push handle. Pulling the handle toward the operator until it locks
in the down position activates the floor lock. When the floor lock is activated it prevents unwanted free wheeling of the
unit. Floor conditions determine the effectiveness of the floor lock. The operator should verify its holding action before
depending on it to hold.
Drum Holder Assembly
The drum holder assembly is the component on the MORStak that is intended to grab and hold the drum for moving,
tilting, and racking. The drum holder assembly moves vertically along the mast and is designed to mechanically grab
the drum by its top rim in the vertical position, and support it with two parallel drum-supporting bars in the horizontal
position. A “bridge” between the grip pads at the inside end of the drum holder provides clearance for a typical drum
faucet. The operator must see that the drum and faucet are properly oriented to enable the faucet to clear in the space
provided by the “bridge” or the faucet may open or be broken and cause a spill.
3. Operation
TO LIFT AN UPRIGHT DRUM FROM THE FLOOR AND PLACE HORIZONTALLY IN A DRUM RACK:
1. Tilt the drum holder assembly down to the vertical position by pulling up on the “TILT” control lever, located on
the left side of the hydraulic power pack. Move the grip pad clamp handle to the OPEN position.
2. Using the “LIFT” control valve, located on the right side, position the drum holder assembly with the top rim
grip pads several inches above the drum (see Figure 3.1).
3. Push the MORStak toward the drum, until the two parallel drum-supporting bars are firmly resting against the
side of the drum.
4. Lower the drum holder assembly until the bridge meets the top of the drum. In this position, the top rim grip
pads should be an inch or two below the top drum rim.
