serious injury or death. This signal word is limited to the most extreme

situations.

serious injury or death.

CAUTION - Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, can result in

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.

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.

CAUTION - Wear Safety Shoes

Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles and hard toe protection.
