Safety Information

While Morse Manufacturing Co. drum handling equipment is 

engineered for safety and efficiency, a high degree of responsibility 

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 precautions 

as with similar machinery where carelessness in operating 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. However, 

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 LADING

• 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 damaged 

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 

return authorization number, and for return freight advice. Return 

freight must be prepaid.

In all instances, liability is limited to the purchase price paid or to 

repairing or replacing the product. Customer assumes liability for 

any modifications, unauthorized repairs or parts substitution.
