at a controlled rate. The valve may be reclosed to hold the drum at any height.

•
Before releasing your grip on the hand crank, pull out the stop pin to block the
•
hand crank from spinning freely.
If the drum handler is equipped with the MORStop Tilt-Brake, there is no need to
•
use the stop pin. Braking is immediate and self-actuating, without additional steps by
the operator.
NOTE: To add the MORStop Tilt-Brake to your drum handler, order part # 3900-P for
a field installation kit.

Floor Lock
The screw-down floor lock is located on the base of the tower. Turning the floor lock clockwise 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.
