Machine Description
The Model 285XBP Forklift-Karrier is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a ribbed
55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum 22.5” (56 cm) in diameter.
The maximum full-drum capacity is 2500 Lb. (1134 kg). The capacity is derated
to 1250 Lb. (567 kg) 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
Wireless Control (part # 4804-P) provides safe, simple and reliable wireless•
machine tilt control with up to approximately 300 foot (91 m) operating range. It
features 900MHz frequency hopping technology for eliminating interference from
other RF sources. Easily switch between direct wire pendant control and wireless
remote control. Quick DC power disconnect for locking out the equipment.
Important
Please read all instructions thoroughly before attempting to operate your new1.
Morse drum handler.
When loading, unloading, operating, or maintaining your MORSE drum handler,2.
alwaysusecareandgoodjudgment.Maintainsecurefootingandarm
hold. Keep hands and loose clothing away from all moving parts. Never allow
anyone to be below any part of a raised drum handler or drum. Read operating
instructions and review the pictures in the sales brochure before operation.
Because the model 285XBP is a front-end attachment for a forklift, OSHA3.
recommends that “… the truck (forklift) be marked to identify the attachment(s)
and show the approximate weight of the truck and attachment combination
at maximum elevation with load laterally centered.” See center of gravity
dimensions of model 285XBP on page 5 for calculating lost load on your
equipment.
Prior to operation: Open the rear cover to access the power pack and replace the4.
red shipping plug in the hydraulic reservoir with the supplied black breather plug.
