WARNING

Stay clear of moving parts. Operator should remain behind the push handle during the lift operation.
Figure 3.2
Floor Lock
The screw-down floor lock is located on the base of the tower
(figure 3.1). Turning the floor lock clockwise until it locks in the
down position activates the floor lock. When the floor lock is
activated it prevents unwanted free wheeling of the unit. Floor
conditions determine the effectiveness of the floor lock. The
operator should verify its holding action before depending on
it to hold.
MORcinch Drum Holder Assembly
The drum holder assembly (or “saddle assembly”) is the
component on the Hydra-Lift Karrier that is intended to hold
the drum. The MORcinch drum holder assembly is designed
to secure a standard ribbed 55-gallon steel drum around it’s
middle using a cinch chain and ratchet tightening system. The
MORcinch drum holder accepts accessories for handling a
plastic drum, a fiber drum, or smaller diameter drums (see
Options on pg. 3).
Operating Instructions
1.) Push the Hydra-Lift Karrier to the drum.
2.) Using the “LIFT” control as described in “
Machine De-
scription - Controls
” (page 3) , position the drum holder
assembly with the back band at the middle of the drum.
(Figure 3.1). With the ratchet plate swung open and the
cinch chain hanging from the chain hook, push the unit
until the back band rests firmly against the drum. Some
adjustment to the tilt angle of the saddle may be necessary
to ensure band fits flush on the drum.
3.)
Attaching the drum:
Drape the chain across the front of the drum and engage a
link into the slot in the ratchet (Figure 3.2). Turn the ratchet
clockwise to tighten chain. If ratchet turns until the pawl is
beyond the last ratchet tooth, turn the ratchet back and slide
the next link into the ratchet slot and try tightening again.
The chain must be held tightly against the drum with the
pawl engaged securely in the ratchet teeth.
4.) Operate the lift function to lift drum clear of floor. Roll to
dispensing location. NOTE: Do not allow the drum to
impact on floor, pouring station, etc. or a spill or damage
could occur.
