Machine Description
The Model 400A-96-110 Hydra-Lift Karrier will pour a drum up to
96” 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 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.
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 # 4596-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 Hydra-Lift Karrier is manually propelled and steered. The drum
lift and tilt controls are powered by a single phase 115V AC motor with a
momentary switch, cord and plug.
There are two functions for the operator to control (Figure 2.3):
1. “LIFT” and lower function for vertical positioning of the drum
2. “TILT” function to control the degree of rotation of the drum
1. LIFT and Lower Function
To raise the drum
a. Plug the motor into a standard 115V power supply.
b. Turn the motor on by holding the momentary switch in the on position.
c. With the motor on, raise the LIFT handle.
To lower the drum
a. With the motor off, push in the LOWER handle.
2. TILT Function
To tilt the drum forward for pouring
a. Turn on the motor by holding momentary switch in the on position.
b. With the motor on, raise the tilt handle.
To return the drum to vertical position
a. Turn on the motor by holding momentary switch in the on position.

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 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.
MORcinch 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 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 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” 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 efcient
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).
