Safety Information

While Morse Manufacturing Co. drum handling equipment is 

engineered for safety and efficiency, a high degree of respon

-

sibility 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 pre-

cautions as with similar machinery where carelessness in oper-

ating 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. How-

ever, 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 LAD-

ING

• 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 

COMPANY!

 Then you may contact Morse for assistance with 

your freight claim.

• Morse Manufacturing will not be held responsible for any dam

-

aged 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 re-

turn authorization number, and for return freight advice. Return 

freight must be prepaid.
