Machine Description
The Model 510M Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer will pour a drum at up to 60” high, measured
fromtheoortothelowestpointofahorizontaldrum.Itisdesignedtolift,transport,and
dispensearibbed55-gallonsteeldrum22.5”indiameter,aswellasaberdrumbetween
22” and 23.5” in diameter. The maximum full-drum capacity is 800 Lb. The capacity is
derated to 500 Lb. for a half-full drum. The half-full rating is based on the tilt mechanism’s
capacity for handling an unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.
Options
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30M•
Series Diameter Adaptor installed (see Diameter Adaptor literature).
The• Bracket Assembly (Part # 4556M-P) is required to handle a
plastic drum without a top rim (see gure 2.1). It is also recommended
to more securely handle a ber drum. You can use the Bracket
Assembly with a 55-gallon plastic, steel or ber drum. The brace
at top and bottom of the drum prevent it from slipping lengthways
through the drum holder. It adjusts for a drum 31” to 39” tall.
The• Top Rim Clamp (Part # 4560M-P) grips the upper rim of your drum to
preventitfromslippingthroughthedrumholder(seegure2.2).Tohandle
a 55-gallon plastic drum with top rim, you mustinstalleithertheBracket
AssemblyortheTopRimClamp.YoucanusetheTopRimClampwitha

To raise the drum
a. Insert pump lever handle into pump socket.
b. With the release valve closed, begin to pump the lever handle.
The drum will lift.
To lower the drum
a. Open the release valve slowly, a part of a turn. Allow the drum
to descend at a controlled rate. The valve may be reclosed to hold
the drum at any height.
2. TILT Function
To tilt the drum
a. Turn the hand crank to turn the drum.
b.Beforereleasingyourgriponthehandcrank,pulloutthecrankstoppintoblockthehandcrankfromspinningfreely.

Drum Holder Assembly
The MORcinch drum holder assembly (or “saddle assembly”) is the component on the Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer that is intended to hold the
drum. The carriage assembly moves vertically along the mast, to position the MORcinch drum holder assembly designed to secure a drum
around it’s middle using a cinch chain and ratchet tightening system. The MORcinch drum holder accepts accessories for handling a plastic
drum,aberdrum,orasmallerdiameterdrum(seeoptionsonpage3).
