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 step-down floor lock is located behind the base (figure
3.1). To activate, step down on the floor lock until it locks
in down position. When floor lock is activated it prevents
unwanted free wheeling of unit. Floor conditions determine
effectiveness of floor lock. 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 a single phase 115V AC motor with a momentary switch, cord and
plug.
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 a standard 115V 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. Pull down on one side of chain, rotating drum to angle required for
pouring.
b. For best control of drum pouring angle, pay out one side of the chain loop
while pulling in the other side. This helps you to hold back the drum rotation
if the contents of the drum shift.
c. The pull chain pin on the corner of the overhead assembly can be used to
prevent drum rotation. Simply “tie-off” the chain by engaging in into the pin.
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 part # 3900SS-P for a field
installation kit.
