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.
3. Raise the horizontal drum from the rack a few inches and back the MORStak away. Lower the horizontal
drum to about 48” from the floor, or until the yellow arrow indicator is within the yellow bar. Clamp grip pad
clamp handle to secure the drum into the drum holder.
WARNING
- Tilt Drum When Arrow is Within Yellow Bar
DO NOT tilt the horizontal drum down if it is less than 48” to the floor. The drum and/
or drum holder can interfere with the floor when tilting and cause the MORStak to
become unstable and, possibly, fall over.
4. Carefully tilt the drum down to the vertical position. Lower the upright drum to the floor and when the weight
of the drum is entirely on the floor, open the grip pad clamp handle. Raise the drum holder assembly about
12”, until the rim grip pads are clearly above the top of the drum. Pull the MORStak back to clear the drum.
1. Maintenance
Periodic inspection for the general condition of structural and mechanical components is imperative for safe and
efficient operation.
Periodically inspect all moving parts, framework, and contact areas for signs of wear, fatigue, or loosening.
Tighten, adjust, or replace parts as necessary to prevent failure and maintain proper function.
Inspect the hydraulic system for oil drips, hose damage, or other signs of wear. Inspect the level and condition of
the hydraulic fluid. (See hydraulic pump specification sheet.) Replace any parts that show signs of wear.
Lubricate all moving parts including wheels, casters, and clevis pins.
