Machine Description
The Power Tilt Kontrol-Karrier is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a
ribbed 55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum 22.5” (57.2 cm) in diameter.
Maximum full-drum capacity is 1500 Lb. (680 kg). Capacity is derated to
800 Lb. (363 kg) for a half-full drum. Half-full rating is based on the tilt
mechanism’s capacity for handling an unbalanced, bottom-heavy drum.
Important
1. Please read all instructions thoroughly before attempting to operate your new Morse drum handler.
2. When loading, unloading, operating, or maintaining your MORSE drum handler, 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.
3. The 195 Series are a “Group 1 structural and mechanical” below-the-hook lifting device which are covered by the American National
Standard ASME B30.20. The user should comply with all aspects of this standard.
55/30 Series Diameter Adapters for
drum with diameter smaller than 22”
(56 cm). To handle a smaller drum,
insert the correct size Diameter Adapter
into the standard drum holder. See

diameter-adapters
ONLY Diameter Adapters for drum with
17.5” (44.5 cm) diameter or smaller
have integrated brackets to prevent
drum slipping length-ways.
NOTE: For 30-gallon (114 Liter)
PLASTIC drum, insert Diameter
Adapter; AND install Bracket or Top
Rim Clamp to prevent drum slipping.
IMPORTANT: To prevent 30 to 55 gallon (114 to 210 L) size plastic drum from
slipping, you MUST install either Top Rim Clamp Kit or Bracket Assembly Kit.
1. Bracket Assembly Kit # 4556-P is required to handle a RIMLESS
plastic drum (gure 2.1), and is also recommended for a ber drum.
The Bracket adjusts for a 31” to 39” (79 to 99 cm) tall drum.
You can also handle a rimmed drum with the Bracket installed.
2. Top Rim Clamp Kit # 4560B-P to handle a RIMMED plastic drum
(gure 2.2). Install the Top Rim Clamp Kit to handle a RIMMED
plastic, steel or ber drum with suitable top rim.

Assembly Instructions
1. Remove the metal screw-plug on top of the speed reducer.
2. Look into the hole to verify oil is in the speed reducer.
3. Install the plastic vent-plug in place of the metal screw-plug to allow internal
pressure to equalize with atmospheric pressure.
4. Air motor requires 20 PSI at 22 SCFM. Operating the air motor at higher
pressures will reduce the life of the air motor and power transmission
components.
5. Prior to initial use, inspect all moving parts and test rotation of saddle
assembly. Inspect ratchet web straps for proper operation. Perform
necessary load test, inspections, operator training, etc. as prescribed in the
ANSI/ASME B30.20 standard.
Operating Instructions
1. With Kontrol-Karrier standing on the oor, lower hoist and engage hoist hook
into the lifting eye.
2. Raise hoist to lift Kontrol-Karrier clear of oor and move it to the drum.
3. Position Kontrol-Karrier at a height which aligns the saddle band with the
center of the drum. Swing open ratchet hinge plate and strap hinge plates.
4. With the ratchet straps hanging freely, push Kontrol-Karrier against the drum
to surround the drum with the saddle band.
5. Drape the straps across the front of the drum and thread each strap through
slot in ratchet. Operate ratchet to tighten straps against the drum.
6. Raise hoist and position the drum at the pouring station.
7. Pour the drum by pressing the “pour forward” button on the pendant (item 4).
8. After pouring is completed, rotate the drum back to vertical position and
lower hoist to return drum to oor.
9. To remove drum: Operate the ratchet to loosen each web strap around the
drum. Release straps from ratchets and swing open hinge plates.
Maintenance
1. Inspect oil level in gear box / speed reducer and ll with high quality,
synthetic lubricant for gears if necessary. Use Klubersynth UH1 6-460
(#096060) or equivalent.
2. Periodically inspect all moving parts, framework, ratchet, straps and contact
areas for signs of wear, fatigue, or loosening. The web strap should be
removed from service & replaced if any of the following are visible:
• Acid or caustic burns
• Melting or charring of any part of the strap
• Holes, tears, cuts, snags or embedded articles
• Broken or worn stitching in load bearing splices
• Excessive abrasive wear
3. Perform all inspections, load tests, and maintenance according to the ANSI/
ASME B30.20 standard.
4. Ensure all labels are in place. Product labels should be inspected
periodically and cleaned as necessary to maintain good legibility. Please
contact Morse Mfg. Co. for replacement labels.
