Machine Description
The Model 410M-114 Heavy-Duty Hydra-Lift Karrier will pour a
drum up to 72” (183 cm) high, measured from the oor to the
lowest point of a horizontal drum. It is designed to lift, transport,
and dispense a 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 1200 Lb. (544 kg). The
capacity is derated to 600 Lb. (272 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
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct•
size 55/30M Series Diameter Adapter installed (see Diameter
Adapter literature).
The adjustable Bracket Assembly (Kit # 4556M-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 (210 liter) plastic drum with suitable top •
rim, you must install either the Bracket Assembly or the Top
Rim Clamp (Kit # 4560M-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.
MORCINCHTM Drum Holder Assembly
The drum holder assembly (or “saddle assembly”) is the
component on the Heavy-Duty Hydra-Lift Karrier that is
intended to hold the drum. The MORCINCHTM drum holder
assembly is designed to secure a standard ribbed 55-gallon
(210 liter) steel drum around it’s middle using a cinch chain
and ratchet tightening system. The MORCINCHTM 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
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 trans-
porting 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 hy-
draulic 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).
