Machine Description
The Model 400AM-60 Hydra-Lift Karrier will pour a drum up to 60” high,
measured from the floor to the lowest point of a horizontal drum. It is
designed to lift, transport, and dispense a 55-gallon steel or fiber drum 22”
to 23.5” in diameter.
The maximum full-drum capacity is 800 Lb. The capacity is derated to 500
Lb. for a half-full drum. The half-full rating is based on the tilt mechanism’s
capacity for handling an unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.
Options
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30M
•
Series Diameter Adaptor installed (see Diameter Adaptor literature).
The adjustable Bracket Assembly (Part # 4556M-P) is
•
required
to
handle a plastic drum without a top rim (see figure 2.1). The Bracket
Assembly is also recommended when handling a fiber drum. You can
also use the Bracket Assembly when handling a rimmed drum.
To handle a 55-gallon plastic drum with suitable top rim, you
•
must
install either the Bracket Assembly or the Top Rim Clamp (Part #
4560M-P) (see figure 2.2). You can use the Top Rim Clamp to handle
a 55-gallon plastic, steel or fiber drum with suitable top rim.
Controls
The Morse Hydra-Lift Karrier is manually propelled and steered.
There are two functions for the operator to control (Figure 2.3):
“LIFT” and lower function for vertical positioning of the drum
1.
“TILT” function to control the degree of rotation of the drum
2.
LIFT and Lower Function
To raise the drum
Insert pump lever handle into pump socket.
1.
With the release valve closed, begin to pump the lever handle. The drum will
2.
lift.
To lower the drum
Open the release valve slowly, a part of a turn. Allow the drum to descend at
1.
a controlled rate. The valve may be reclosed to hold the drum at any height.
TILT Function
To tilt the drum
Turn the hand crank (item 90) to turn the drum.
1.
Before releasing your grip on the hand crank, pull out the crank stop pin
2.
(item 89) to block the hand crank from spinning freely.
If the drum handler is equipped with the MORStop Tilt-Brake, there is no
3.
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
4.
# 3900-P for a field installation kit.
