Machine Description
Model 185A-HD Heavy-Duty Kontrol-Karrierisdesignedtolift,transportanddispensearibbed55-gallon(210liter)steelorberdrum
22” to 23.5” (56 to 59.7 cm) in diameter. The maximum full-drum capacity is 1500 Lb. (680 kg). The capacity is derated to 800 Lb. (363
kg) for a half-full drum. The half-full drum rating is based on the tilt mechanism’s capacity for handling an unbalanced, bottom heavy load.
Options
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30 Series•
Diameter Adaptor installed (see Diameter Adaptor literature).
The• Bracket Assembly (part # 4556-P) is required to handle a plastic
drum without a top rim. It is also recommended to more securely handle a
berdrum.YoucanusetheBracketAssemblywitha55-gallon(210liter)
plastic,steelorberdrum.Thebraceattopandbottomofthedrumprevent
it from slipping lengthways through the drum holder. It adjusts for a drum 31”
to 39” (79 to 99 cm) tall.
The• Top Rim Clamp (part # 4560-P) grips the upper rim of your drum to
prevent it from slipping through the drum holder. To handle a 55-gallon (210
liter) plastic drum with top rim, you mustinstalleithertheBracketAssembly
or the Top Rim Clamp. You can use the Top Rim Clamp with a 55-gallon
(210liter)plastic,steelorberdrumwithsuitabletoprim.
Counterweight Kit # 4622-P to keep Kontrol-Karrier hanging plumb, even•
without a drum in holder.

to the drum.
Suspend Kontrol-Karrier at a height which aligns drum saddle3.
with center of drum.
With binder chain (item 112) hanging freely, swing the ratchet4.
hinge plate to the open position. Push Kontrol-Karrier against
drum so that saddle will encircle drum.
Secure the drum: drape the binder chain (item 112) across the5.
face of the drum and engage a link into the slot in the ratchet
(shown below right). Turn the ratchet clockwise to tighten
chain. If the chain doesn’t cinch tightly on the drum, lift the
pawl (item 103) to loosen and release the chain and try again
withadi󰀨erentlinkinthenotch.Firmhandpressureonthe
ratchethandleshouldtightenthechainsu󰀩cientlytoholdthe
drum. DO NOT use mechanical aids such as a pipe to extend
handle for extra leverage.
Move hoist hook to lift point centered over the drum.6.
Raise hoist and position drum at pouring station.7.
Pour the drum by pulling on the pull chain (item11) and8.
rotating the drum to a suitable pouring angle. For best control
of drum pouring angle, pay out one side of the chain loop
while pulling in the other side, thus being able to hold back the
drum rotation. The chain lock on the bottom of the power arm
can be used to prevent drum rotation. To do so, crisscross
the chain and insert in each slot of the chain lock. 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#3900-Pforaeldinstallationkit.
After pouring is completed, rotate drum back to vertical9.

To remove drum: Pull ratchet handle clockwise to relieve10.
pressure on ratchet teeth. Lift pawl handle (item 103) to
release teeth engagement and rotate ratchet to loosen chain
and allow its removal from notch.

Lubricate gear teeth and roller chain.2.
Clean and oil ratchet, pawl and other moving parts periodically to maintain free action and reduce wear. Clean and lubricate more3.
