Operator’s Manual for Morse Heavy-Duty Hydra-Lift Karrier Model 410 Serial Number 1210 to ____ (MMYY)

Machine Description

The Model 410 Heavy-Duty Hydra-Lift Karrier will pour a drum up to 72” high, measured from the oor to the lowest point of a horizontal drum. It is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a 55-gallon steel or ber drum 22” to 23.5” in diameter.

The maximum full-drum capacity is 1200 Lb. The capacity is derated to 600 Lb. for a half-full drum. The half-full rating is based on the

tilt mechanism’s capacity for handling an unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.

Options

A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size • 55/30 Series Diameter Adaptor installed (see Diameter Adaptor

literature).

The adjustable Bracket Assembly (Part # 4556-P) is • required to handle a plastic drum without a top rim (see gure 2.1). The Bracket Assembly is also recommended when handling a ber drum. You can also use the Bracket Assembly when handling

a rimmed drum.

To handle a 55-gallon plastic drum with suitable top rim, you • must install either the Bracket Assembly or the Top Rim Clamp (Part # 4560-P) (see gure 2.2). You can use the Top Rim Clamp to handle a 55-gallon plastic, steel or ber drum with

suitable top rim.

Operator’s Manual for Morse Heavy-Duty Hydra-Lift Karrier Model 410 Serial Number 1210 to ____ (MMYY)

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 oor lock is located behind the base (gure

3.1). To activate, step down on the oor lock until it locks in the down position. When the oor lock is activated it prevents

unwanted free wheeling of the unit. Floor conditions determine

the effectiveness of the oor 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 Heavy-Duty Hydra-Lift Karrier that is intended to hold the drum. The MORcinch drum holder assembly is designed to secure a standard ribbed 55-gallon 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 ber drum, or smaller diameter drums (see Options on pg. 3).

Operating Instructions

1.) Push the Heavy-Duty 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 rmly against the drum. Some

adjustment to the tilt angle of the saddle may be necessary

to ensure band ts ush 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 oor. Roll to

dispensing location. NOTE: Do not allow the drum to

impact on oor, pouring station, etc. or a spill or damage

could occur.

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.

5.) Lift drum to desired pouring height. Operate the tilt control as described in “Machine Description - Controls” (page 3)

to adjust the drum attitude. This is especially important when lifting an open drum. The oor lock should be engaged while

dispensing / draining.

6.) When dispensing is complete, tilt drum back to upright position. Disengage the oor lock and lower the drum to transporting height; about 6” off the oor.

WARNING - Stay Clear of Raised Drum

NEVER allow anyone to be below any part of a raised drum handler or drum. Remain behind the push handle while handling a drum.

WARNING – Do NOT Disengage the Cinch Chain When Drum is off the Ground

When the drum is in the upright position, lower the drum to the oor before releasing the cinch

chain.

7.) Push the unit to the drum storage area and lower to the oor in an upright position. Release the cinch chain from the ratchet by applying pressure to the ratchet handle in a clockwise direction with one hand and opening the pawl to free the ratchet with the other hand. Remove the cinch chain link from the ratchet.

Maintenance

Periodic inspection for the general condition of structural and mechanical components is imperative for safe and efcient

operation.

Periodically inspect all moving parts, framework, and contact areas for signs of wear, fatigue, or loosening. Tighten, adjust,

or replace parts as necessary to prevent failure and maintain proper function.

Inspect the hydraulic system for oil drips, hose damage, or other signs of wear. Inspect the level and condition of the hydraulic uid. Replace any parts that show signs of wear.

Grease wheel bearings periodically. Oil or grease all moving parts including: the clevis pins and the surfaces of the boom which

contact the inside of the mast cap, the gears and sprockets in the tilt drive, and the ratchet and pawl.

Worn or damaged parts must be properly replaced with the correct, genuine Morse parts.

Hydraulic pump is shipped lled with Noco Premium plus automatic transmission uid d/m. Material safety data sheet (msds) is available online. Change oil yearly, sooner depending on dirty conditions or outdoor use. Replace oil with Mobil

dte 24 or equivalent for indoor use (Mobil dte 13 for outdoor use).
