Machine Description
TheMorse456SeriesHydra-LiftDrumRollersaredesignedtoreceiveanuprightdrumatoor
level, hydraulically tilt drum to horizontal, and rotate the drum on its side between 5 and 20 RPM
(4 to 16 RPM with 50Hz models). It is designed to rotate a steel drum 6” to 28” in diameter, and up
to 40” tall. The maximum liquid capacity is 1000 Lb. Capacity is derated to 400 Lb. for a dry load.
Options
A 1 to 5 gallon can or pail can be rotated with the optional Idler Attachment (part # 1-5-1) installed.•
A 55-gallon plastic drum can be rotated with the correct POLY option installed.•
Order Option POLY-456 factory installed on your new 456 Series Drum Roller.•
Order Option POLY-456FI for feld installation of POLY Kit on your existing 456 Series Drum Roller.•
Guard Enclosure Kit - Install all Morse Rotators in accordance with OSHA requirements for enclosure and safety interlock, etc. so•
therotatorautomaticallyturnso󰀨whenenclosuredoorisopened.OnewaytoaccomplishthisiswithaMorseGuardEnclosurewith
safety interlock.
Controls
There are two powered functions for the operator to control. Each function is controlled separately by levers mounted on the control
station.
The “TILT” function, for vertical positioning of the drum holder. The lever on the right side is the “TILT” control valve. Raising the lever1.
will tilt the drum to vertical. Lowering the lever will tilt the drum to horizontal.
The “ROLL” function, or the rotation of the drum holder. The lever on the left side is the “ROLL” control valve. Raising this lever2.
causes the drum to rotate. Lowering the lever away from the operator will stop the drum from rotating. The rotation speed can
be varied with the metering valve (item 13 on page 8). Turn the valve clockwise to increase speed up to a nominal 20 RPM,
counterclockwise to decrease speed down to a nominal 5 RPM. RPM is based on a 22.5” diameter 55-gallon steel drum and a 60Hz
1725 RPM motor.
Assembly and Installation Instructions
Hydraulicuid:Hydra-LiftDrumRollersareshippedlledwithhydraulicuid(dexron3orequivalent).Replacethe• RED shipping
plug from the hydraulic reservoir with the supplied BLACK breather, and install hydraulic levers BEFORE operation.
The base has four 1/2” (1.27 cm) diameter holes spaced 20-3/8” wide x 62-5/8” long (51.75 cm wide x 159.07 cm long). Morse•
recommendstherotatorbesecuredtotheoorusing3/8”x3”(.95cmx7.6cm)lagbolts(notincluded).
Install all Morse Rotators in accordance with OSHA requirements for enclosure and safety interlock, etc. Drum rotator must•
automaticallyturno󰀨whenenclosuredoorisopened.
ControlStation-MakingConnections:•
AIR Powered Models
Fortheairmotorpoweredrotator,alter,regulator,•
lubricatorismountedonthecontrolstation.Ashuto󰀨
ball valve is installed on the inlet of the regulator. The air
connection should be made at the inlet of this valve.
Ensurethatthesupplyairlinesareofsu󰀩cientsize•
to provide proper air volume. The air motor requires
40 scfm, and 40 psi of compressed air. The proper air
pressure will depend on the weight of the drum (see Air
Motor Technical Info).
AC Powered Models
The main power must be wired into the control box.•
Models ordered with non-explosion proof motor and•
appropriate Morse Control Package have the control box
wired to the motor.
Models ordered with explosion proof motor and•
appropriate Morse Explosion-Proof Control Package have
no wiring from the nema 7/9 control box to the motor.
Please consult an electrician to complete the wiring.
Jog the motor to check rotation. Motor fan must turn•
clockwise.
To reverse rotation if necessary•
For3phasemotors:interchangeanytwoinputleads.•
For1phasemotors:interchangewires5&8in•

Installation Instructions (continued)
Priortoinitialoperation,lubricate3greasettings
shown on page 6.
Adjust drive and idler wheels to your particular drum.
With provided 1/8” allen wrench, loosen the two set
screws found in each drive wheel hub and the set
screw in each collar surrounding the idler wheels.
Wheels should be positioned to support the drum at
its strongest point; adjacent to ribs (see Figure 1).
This confguration will also prevent the drum from
moving axially. Tighten set screws.
A variety of drum diameters can be accommodated
by adjusting the idler plate assembly toward the drive
side for smaller diameters and away from the drive
side for larger diameters. The plate may be adjusted
to allow drive shaft spacing from 8” to 18”. It is
preset to the second (outer) set of holes for use with
standard 55-gallon steel drums. To adjust, remove
the three idler plate bolts (item 23 on page
7) and slide the idler plate assembly (item
27 on page 7) to the proper set of mount
holes and refasten the mount bolts.
Loading a Drum
1. Raise the “TILT” lever to tilt the load
platetooorlevel.
2. Place an upright drum onto the load
plate with a drum truck or with your crane
and a below-hook drum lifter.
3. Lower the “TILT” lever to tilt the drum
from upright into horizontal position.

Rotating a Drum
4. After ensuring that the area around the rotator is
clear, raise the “ROLL” lever to begin rotation.
5. The drum rotation speed can be varied with the
metering valve (item 13 on page 8). Turn the valve
clockwise to increase speed up to 20 RPM, and
counter-clockwise to decrease speed down to 5 RPM.
Alternatemethodontheairmotorversion:Withtheair
shuto󰀨ballvalveintheOFFposition,raisethe“ROLL”
lever.Then,slowlyopentheairshuto󰀨ballvalveto
begin the rotation. This can allow for more control over
the speed of rotation.
Unloading a Drum
Ensure the drum is in vertical upright position to unload. Unload upright drum from
the load plate with a drum truck or with your crane and a below-hook drum lifter.
Preventative Maintenance
Periodic inspection for the general condition of structural and mechanical components is imperative
forsafeande󰀩cientoperation.
Monthly
Inspectthehydraulicsystemforoildrips,hosedamage,orothersignsofwear.Inspectthelevelandconditionofthehydraulicuid.•
Hydraulicuidlevelshouldbewithina½”ofthetopofthereservoirwhenthecylinderisintherelaxedposition.Replaceanyparts
that show signs of wear.
Inspect all moving parts, framework, fasteners and contact areas for signs of wear, fatigue, or loosening.•
Every 6 to 12 Months in Ordinary Environment (monthly in dirty conditions)
Lubricate all moving parts.•
Pillow Block Bearings. See• Bearing Lubrication Sheetat:https://morsedrum.com/ops/2654-P_bearing-grease.pdfforgreasetypes
