shoes, work gloves, hard hat and other personal protective devices are recommended.
2. Please read all instructions thoroughly before attempting to operate your new MORSE drum handler.
3. The 185-HD series has a maximum capacity rating of 1500 Lb. FULL drum, and 800 Lb. HALF-FULL drum, and is intended
for lifting, moving and pouring drums of size and type noted above. DO NOT exceed these ratings as an unsafe condition
may result which could cause damage or excessive wear, or make the unit awkward to handle.
4. When loading, unloading, operating, or maintaining your MORSE drum handler, always use care and good judgment, have
good footing and a firm hold. Keep hands and loose clothing, etc. 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.
5. The 185-HD is a “Group 1 - Structural and Mechanical” Below-the-Hook Lifting Device which is covered by the American
National Standard ANSI/ASME B30.20. The user should comply with all aspects of this standard.
B. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Start with Kontrol-Karrier on the floor. Lower hoist and engage hoist hook to off-center lift point. Empty Kontrol-Karrier will
hang plumb from off-center lift point.
2. Raise hoist to lift Kontrol-Karrier clear of floor and transport it next to the drum.
3. Suspend Kontrol-Karrier at a height which aligns drum saddle with center of drum.
4. With binder chain hanging freely, push Kontrol-Karrier against drum so that saddle will encircle drum.
5. Drape the binder across the face of the drum and engage a link in notch in hub of ratchet. See assembly detail on page 3.
6. Lock drum in place by turning ratchet to tighten chain.
7. Move hoist hook to lift point which is centered over the drum.
8. Raise hoist and position drum at pouring station.
9. To pour drum: Pull on control chain rotating drum to angle required for emptying. For best control of drum pouring angle,
pay out one side of the loop while pulling in the other, thus being able to hold back the drum rotation after the load shifts.
10. After emptying, rotate drum back to vertical position and lower hoist to return empty drum.
11. To remove drum: Pull ratchet handle to relieve pressure on ratchet teeth. Lift pawl handle to release teeth engagement and
rotate ratchet to loosen chain and allow its removal from notch.
