Operating Instructions

Start with Kontrol-Karrier on the floor. Lower hoist and engage 

1. 

hoist hook to off-center lift point. Empty Kontrol-Karrier will 

hang plumb from off-center lift point.

Raise hoist to lift Kontrol-Karrier clear of floor and transport it 

2. 

to the drum.

Suspend Kontrol-Karrier at a height which aligns drum saddle 

3. 

with center of drum.

With binder chain (item 112) hanging freely, swing the ratchet 

4. 

hinge plate to the open position. Push Kontrol-Karrier against 

drum so that saddle will encircle drum.

Secure the drum: drape the binder chain (item 112) across the 

5. 

face of the drum and engage a link into the slot in the ratchet 

(shown below right). Turn the ratchet clockwise to tighten 

chain. If the chain doesn’t cinch tightly on the drum, lift the 

pawl (item 103) to loosen and release the chain and try again 

with a different link in the notch. Firm hand pressure on the 

ratchet handle should tighten the chain sufficiently to hold the 

drum. DO NOT use mechanical aids such as a pipe to extend 

handle for extra leverage.

Move hoist hook to lift point centered over the drum.

6. 

Raise hoist and position drum at pouring station.

7. 

Pour the drum by pulling on the pull chain (item11) and 

8. 

rotating the drum to a suitable pouring angle. For best control 

of drum pouring angle, pay out one side of the chain loop 

while pulling in the other side, thus being able to hold back the 

drum rotation. The chain lock on the bottom of the power arm 

can be used to prevent drum rotation. To do so, crisscross 

the chain and insert in each slot of the chain lock. If the drum 

handler is equipped with the MORStop Tilt-Brake, there is no 

need to hold tension on both sides of the chain loop. Braking 

is immediate and self actuating, without additional steps by 

the operator. To add the MORStop Tilt-Brake to your drum 

handler, order part # 3900-P for a field installation kit.

After pouring is completed, rotate drum back to vertical 

9. 

position and lower hoist to return drum to floor.

To remove drum: Pull ratchet handle clockwise to relieve 

10. 

pressure on ratchet teeth. Lift pawl handle (item 103) to 

release teeth engagement and rotate ratchet to loosen chain 

and allow its removal from notch.

Maintenance

Periodic inspection for the general condition of structural and mechanical components is imperative for safe and efficient operation.

1. 

Lubricate gear teeth and roller chain.

2. 

Clean and oil ratchet, pawl and other moving parts periodically to maintain free action and reduce wear. Clean and lubricate more 

3. 

often in environment where dust, dirt or other foreign particles will effect the performance of moving parts.

Periodically inspect all moving parts, framework and contact areas for signs of wear, fatigue or loosening. Tighten, adjust or replace 

4. 

parts as necessary to prevent failure and maintain proper function.

Worn or damaged parts must be properly replaced with the correct, genuine Morse parts
