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 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.
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 # 3900-P for a field installation kit.
