Machine Description
The Model 410-114 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.
Controls
The Morse Heavy-Duty 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 2.3):
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.
Figure 3.2
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 e󰀨ectiveness 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 com-
ponent 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 De-
scription - 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 transport-
ing height; about 6” o󰀨 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 o󰀨 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 e󰀩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).
