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 de
-
signed to secure a standard ribbed 55-gallon (210 liter) 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
Description - 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.
