Controls

The Morse Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer is manually propelled and 

steered. The drum lift and tilt controls are powered by a 12V DC 

motor with a momentary switch. There are two functions for the 

operator to control (Figure 3.1):

1.  LIFT and Lower Function for vertical positioning of the drum 

To raise the drum 

Turn the motor on by holding the momentary switch in the on position. 

With the motor on, raise the LIFT handle.  

 

To lower the drum 

With the motor off, push in the LOWER handle.

 

2.  TILT Function to control the degree of rotation of the drum 

To tilt the drum forward for pouring 

Turn on the motor by holding momentary switch in the on position. 

With the motor on, raise the tilt handle. 

 

To return the drum to vertical position 

Turn on the motor by holding momentary switch in the on position. 

Push the tilt handle down.

WARNING

 - Watch out for pinch points

 

 Stay clear of moving parts. Operator should 

remain behind the push handle during the lift 

operation.

Floor Lock

Floor lock handle is located on left side of push handle.  Pulling floor lock handle toward operator until it locks in down position activates 

the floor lock. When floor lock is activated it prevents unwanted free wheeling of unit.  Floor conditions determine effectiveness of floor 

lock.  Operator should verify its holding action before depending on it to hold.

Drum Holder Assembly

MORCINCH

TM

 Drum Holder assembly (“saddle”) is the component on Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer intended to hold drum.  Carriage assembly 

moves vertically along mast to position drum holder assembly at correct height to secure drum around it’s middle using cinch chain and 

ratchet tightening system.  

The MORCINCH

TM

 Drum Holder accepts accessories to handle plastic drum, fiber drum, or a smaller diameter drum.

Scale

The scale is simple to use and to read enabling accurate batching by weight.  The touch pads include numbers for 

tare entry.  Four load cells accurately sense the weight regardless of the tilt angle of the drum. Battery saving “sleep” 

mode turns indicator off when scale is not in use.

N-Type Scale

Economical general purpose instrument for use in a variety of weighing applications. NOT for use in hazardous areas. 

Powered by five ordinary alkaline D-cell batteries.

“N” Type scale 

indicator NOT
