Motor Information
Motor is dual voltage and can be wired for 1-phase 110V 50Hz or 1-phase
220V 50Hz. Motor does NOT come with switch, cord or plug. Consult an
electrician to install and wire according to local codes.
Controls
The Morse Hydra-Lift Karrier is manually propelled and steered. The drum
lift is powered by a single phase 50Hz AC motor.
There are two functions for the operator to control (figure 2.3).
1.
LIFT and Lower Function for vertical positioning of the drum.
a. Plug the motor into power supply.
b. Turn motor on by holding momentary switch in on position. The drum
will lift.
c. Release momentary switch when drum is at desired height.
d. 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.
a. Turn the hand crankk to turn the drum.
b. 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 hold
tension on both sides of the chain loop. Braking is immediate and
self-actuating, without additional steps by the operator. To add the
MORStop Tilt-Brake to your drum handler, order Kit # 3900-P to install
on existing drum handler.
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, fiber drum, or a smaller diameter drum.
