Machine Description
The Mobile-Karrier is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a ribbed 55-gallon
steel drum 22.5” in diameter. The maximum capacity is 800 Lb.
Options
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30 Series•
Diameter Adaptor installed (see Diameter Adaptor literature).
The• Bracket Assembly (Part # 4556-P) is required to handle a
plastic drum without a top rim (see gure 2.1). It is also recommended
to more securely handle a ber drum. You can use the Bracket
Assembly with a 55-gallon plastic, steel or ber drum. The brace
at top and bottom of the drum prevent it from slipping lengthways
through the drum holder. It adjusts for a drum 31” to 37” tall.
The• Top Rim Clamp (Part # 4560-P) grips the upper rim of your drum to
preventitfromslippingthroughthedrumholder(seegure2.2).Tohandle
a 55-gallon plastic drum with top rim, you must install either the Bracket
Assembly or the Top Rim Clamp. You can use the Top Rim Clamp with a
55-gallonplastic,steelorberdrumwithsuitabletoprim

Operating Instructions
Roll the assembled Mobile-Karrier to the drum (assembly1.
instructions are on page 4).
Grip the push-handle, squeeze both release rods and raise the2.
handle to a position straight up. This lowers the saddle to reach
the middle of the drum. The cinch chain can be hung on the
chainpinontopofleftstanchiontokeepitofftheoor.
Roll the Mobile-Karrier forward and push the saddle so that it3.
slips around the drum near the mid-point of the drum.
Secure the drum: Drape the cinch chain across the face of the4.
drum and engage a link into the notch in the hub of the ratchet
(shown below right). Pull up on ratchet handle to tighten the
chain. If ratchet turns to the extent that the pawl is beyond the
last ratchet tooth and the chain is not tight, back up and try
putting the next link in the notch. The chain should tighten as
the ratchet turns and be held tight by the teeth of the ratchet
and pawl. Firm hand pressure on the ratchet handle should
tensionthechainsufcientlytosecurethedrum.DONOTuse
mechanical aids such as a pipe to extend ratchet handle for
extra leverage.
Pull down the push-handle to raise the drum. The Mobile-5.
Karrier will hold up the drum and may be rolled away carrying
the drum.
Either one of the two spring loaded plunger tilt locks may be6.
locked to hold the drum upright. Unlocking both will permit the
drum to be tilted. Either one may be locked to hold the drum
in the tilted position. It is not necessary to lock both tilt locks.
Beforeunlockingthetiltlockitisrecommendedthatyousteady
the drum and be prepared to resist its tendency to tilt toward
its heavy end.
Beforeunloadingthedrum,releasethetiltlocksandreturnthe7.

squeezed, the handle will unlock and allow the weight of the
drum to make the handle tend to rise.Apply sufcient force
to allow the handle to rise slowly to control the descent of the
drum.

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.
Grease wheel bearings periodically. Oil or grease all moving parts including: Tilt locks, fulcrum shafts, links, 1/2” carriage bolts, and•
the ratchet and pawl.
Worn or damaged parts must be properly replaced with the correct, genuine Morse parts.•
Tighten all nuts and bolts periodically, except the four 1/2” carriage bolts (assembly steps 1, 2 and 3) which should be just loose•
enough to permit a hinging motion of the links and handle.
