WARNING

 - Watch Out for Pinch Points

Stay clear of moving parts.  Operator should 

remain behind the push handle during the lift 

operation.

Floor Lock

The step-down floor lock is located behind the base (figure 

3.1).  To activate, step down on the floor lock until it locks 

in down position.  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

The MORCINCH

TM

 Drum Holder (Saddle) assembly is the 

component on intended to hold the drum.  It is designed to secure 

a standard ribbed 55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum around it’s middle 

using a cinch chain and ratchet tightening system.  It automatically 

adjusts for 22” to 23.5” (56 to 59.7 cm) diameter drum.

The MORCINCH

TM

 Drum Holder also accepts accessories to 

handle a plastic drum, fiber drum, or a smaller diameter drum.

Controls

The Morse Hydra-Lift Karrier is manually propelled and steered. The drum lift 

is powered by an air motor with an on/off valve. There are two functions for the 

operator to control (Figure 2.3):

1.  LIFT and Lower Function to raise and lower the drum

• 

Plug your air line into the on/off air valve.

• 

Turn the motor on by holding the valve handle in the on position. The 

drum will lift.

• 

Release the valve handle when the drum is at the desired height.

• 

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.

• 

Turn the hand crank to turn the drum.

• 

Before releasing your grip on the hand crank, pull out the crank stop 

pin to block the hand crank from spinning freely.

• 

If the drum handler is equipped with the MORStop Tilt-Brake, there is 

no need to use the stop pin. Braking is immediate and self-actuating, 

without additional steps by the operator.

Note: To add the MORStop Tilt-Brake to an existing drum handler, order 

part # 3900SS-P for a field installation kit.
