MODEL 400A-60
Hydra-Lift, 60”, Manual Lift, Manual Tilt
The Specialist In Drum Handling Equipment
Operator’s Manual for Morse Hydra-Lift Drum Karrier Model 400A-60
Serial Number 0604 to ____ (MMYY)
Machine Description
The Model 400A-60 Hydra-Lift Karrier will pour a drum up to 60” high, measured from the floor to the lowest point of a horizontal
drum. It is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a ribbed 55-gallon steel drum 22.5” in diameter.
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30 Series Diameter Adaptor installed
(see DiameterAdaptor literature)
A 55-gallon plastic drum can be handled if the unit is equipped with an Adjustable Bracket (Option APS) or Top Rim Clamp
(OptionARC)
(see plastic drum option manual).
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.
Controls
The Morse Hydra-Lift Karrier is manually propelled and steered.
There are two functions for the operator to control (Figure 2.1):
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. Insert pump lever handle into pump socket.
b. With the release valve closed, begin to pump the lever handle.
The drum will lift.
To lower the drum
a. Open the release valve slowly, a part of a turn. Allow the
drum to descend at a controlled rate. The valve may be
reclosed to hold the drum at any height.
2.
TILT Function
To tilt the drum
a. Turn the hand crank (item 90) to turn the drum.
b. Before releasing your grip on the hand crank, pull out the
crank stop pin (item 89) to block the hand crank from
spinning freely.
c. If the drum handler is equipped with the MORStop Tilt-Brake,
there is no need to use the stop pin. Braking is immediate
and self-actuating, without additional steps by the operator.
Note: To add the MORStop Tilt-Brake to an existing drum
handler, order part # 3900-P for a field installation kit.

Serial Number 0604 to ____ (MMYY)
WARNING - Watch Out for Pinch Points
Stay clear of moving parts. Operator should remain behind the push handle during the lift operation.
Floor Lock
The screw-down floor lock is located on the base of the tower
(figure 3.1). Turning the floor lock clockwise until it locks in the
down position activates the floor lock. When the floor lock is
activated it prevents unwanted free wheeling of the unit. Floor
conditions determine the effectiveness of the floor lock. The
operator should verify its holding action before depending on it
to hold.
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 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 drum holder
accepts accessories for handling smaller diameter drums.

The Specialist In Drum Handling Equipment
Operator’s Manual for Morse Hydra-Lift Drum Karrier Model 400A-60
Serial Number 0604 to ____ (MMYY)
Operating Instructions
1.) Push the 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
firmly against the drum. Some adjustment to the tilt angle of
the saddle may be necessary to ensure band fits flush on the
drum.
Figure 3.2
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 floor. Roll to dispensing location. NOTE: Do not allow the drum to impact on floor,
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 floor lock should be engaged while
dispensing / draining.
6.) When dispensing is complete, tilt drum back to upright position. Disengage the floor lock and lower the drum to transporting
height; about 6” off the floor.
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 floor before releasing the cinch chain.
7.) Push the unit to the drum storage area and lower to the floor 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 efficient 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
fluid. 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 filled with Noco Premium plus automatic transmission fluid 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).
