CAUTION – Do Not Transport with Drum Raised

ALWAYS LOWER THE DRUM HOLDER TO LOWEST POSITION BEFORE TRANSPORTING. The unit can become unstable when transporting with a raised load.

DANGER - Stay Clear of Power Lines

KEEP WELL CLEAR OF POWER LINES. Never approach a power line. Current in a high voltage line

may arc some distance from the wire to the steel framed, grounded machine.

WARNING

The Hydra-Lift Karrier is designed to handle one drum of the types listed at the top of page 3, under 2. Machine Description. DO NOT attempt to handle any other type of drum or object. DO NOT exceed

the weight capacity of 800 Lb. (363 kg)

WARNING - Level Floors Only

For operation only on clean, level oors of suitable bearing capacity. Do not use on sloped surfaces, ramps, irregular or debris strewn oors.

WARNING - Do Not Modify the Unit

Under no circumstances should any modications be made to the Morse machinery without factory authorization. Any modications may void the warranty. This machine was designed to perform a specic

job and alterations may result in injury to operator or machine.

WARNING - No Loose Fitting Clothing

Wear close-tting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Loose tting clothing may become caught on the machinery and cause severe personal injury.

WARNING - Hydraulic Fluid Under Pressure Can Be Hazardous

Escaping hydraulic uid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the

hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Keep hands and body away from

pinholes and nozzles, which eject uid under high pressure. Use a piece of cardboard to search for leaks. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately and inform them of the nature of the accident.
