A. IMPORTANT:
1. Review the Material Safety Data Sheet(s) for the material(s) in the drum(s) and take all necessary precautions.
Safety shoes, work gloves, hard hat and other personal protective devices are recommended.
2. Please read all instructions thoroughly before attempting to operate your new MORSE drum handler.
3. The model 86 has a maximum capacity rating of 1000 Lb. and is designed to lift and move drums of size and type noted
above. DO NOT exceed this load rating. Exceeding this rating or handling drums other than those mentioned above is
unsafe and could result in equipment damage, excessive wear or awkward handling.
4. When loading, unloading, operating, or maintaining your MORSE drum handler, always use care and good judgment, have
good footing and a firm hold. Keep hands and loose clothing, etc. away from all moving parts. Never allow anyone to be
below any part of a raised drum handler or drum. Read operating instructions and review the pictures in the sales brochure
before operation.
5. The Model 86 is a “Group 1 Structural and Mechanical” Below-the-Hook Lifting Device which is covered by the American
National Standard ANSI/ASME B30.20. The user should comply with all aspects of this standard.
B. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prior to use, inspect all moving parts. Inspect cinch chain and ratchet /pawl assembly for proper operation. Perform necessary
load test, inspections, operator training, etc. as prescribed in the ANSI/ASME B30.20 standard.
C. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. With the Model 86 on the floor, lower hoist and engage
hoist hook into the lifting eye.
2. Raise hoist to lift the 86 clear of the floor and move it to
the drum.
3. Position the 86 with the base at floor level and near or
against the base of drum.
4. Using a drum hand truck (ie. Morse Model 160),
carefully place the drum onto the base of the 86 so
that the drum rests into the saddle band (see Figure
1).
5. Drape the cinch chain (item 4) across the face of the
drum and engage a link into the slot on the ratchet
and tighten the cinch chain around the drum by
turning the ratchet handle (item 14) clockwise.
6. Raise hoist and move drum to desired location.
7. To remove drum from the 86, release tension in the
cinch chain (item 4) by turning ratchet handle (item
14) clockwise to relieve the force on the pawl (item
10), and lifting the pawl away from the ratchet. Once
the cinch chain is slack, remove the link from the slot
in the ratchet. Remove the drum from the 86 using a
drum truck.
CAUTION:
DO NOT exceed weight capacity of 1000 Lb.
D. MAINTENANCE:
Periodically inspect all moving parts, framework, cinch chain, and contact areas for signs of wear, fatigue, or loosening. Perform
all inspections, load tests, and maintenance according to the ANSI/ASME B30.20 standard.
