This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.
WARNING - Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION - Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, can result in damage to the machine.
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

Machine Description
TheModel400A-60-114Hydra-LiftKarrierwillpouradrumupto60”high,measuredfromtheoortothelowestpointofahorizontaldrum.
It is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a ribbed 55-gallon steel drum 22.5” in diameter.
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30 Series Diameter Adaptor installed. See Diameter Adaptor•
literature.
A 55-gallon plastic drum can be handled if the unit is equipped with an Adjustable Bracket•
(Option HDPS) or Top Rim Clamp (Option HDRC). See plastic drum option manual.
The maximum full-drum capacity is 800 Lb. The capacity is derated to 500 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.
Controls
The Morse Hydra-Lift Karrier is manually propelled and steered.
The hydraulic pump is powered by a vane type air motor. The air
motor is control by a momentary air valve located on the air motor.
Attach air supply to the air valve.
There are two functions for the operator to control (Figure 2.1):
1. LIFT and lower function for vertical positioning of the drum.
To raise the drum, hold the air valve handle in the on•
position and raise the LIFT handle. Release the two valve
handles when desired drum height is reached.
To lower the drum, push in the LOWER handle. Air motor•
is not needed.
2. TILT function to control the degree of rotation of the drum.
To tilt the drum forward for pouring, hold the air valve handle•
in the on position and raise the TILT handle. Release the
two valve handles when drum angle is reached.
To return the drum to vertical position, hold the air valve•
handle in the on position and push down on the TILT
handle.

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screw-downoorlockislocatedonthebaseofthetower(gure
3.1).Turningtheoorlockclockwiseuntilitlocksinthedownposition
activatestheoorlock.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.
Drum Holder Assembly
The drum holder assembly (or “saddle assembly”) is the component
on the Hydra-Lift Karrier that is intended to hold the drum. The
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 drum holder accepts accessories for handling
smaller diameter drums.
Operating Instructions
1.) Push the 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 three clevis pins and the surfaces of the boom which
contact the inside of the mast cap, the hinge pin, 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).
