Then you may contact Morse for assistance with your
freight claim.
• Morse Manufacturing will not be held responsible for any
damaged freight that is not signed for as damaged.
Limited 2 Year Warranty
Morse drum handling equipment is guaranteed against defects in
workmanship or materials for two years when used properly within
its rated capacity. Warranty does not cover wear from normal use
or damage from accident or abuse. Motors and other purchased
parts carry the warranties of their manufacturers.
For warranty claims, contact your Morse Dealer to obtain a
return authorization number, and for return freight advice. Return
freight must be prepaid.
In all instances, liability is limited to the purchase price paid or to
repairing or replacing the product. Customer assumes liability for
any modications, unauthorized repairs or parts substitution.
Safety Information
While Morse Manufacturing Co. drum handling equipment is
engineered for safety and e󰀩ciency, a high degree of responsibility
must be placed upon the machine operator to follow safe practices,
based primarily on common sense, upon which true safety
depends.
Failure to follow the safety precautions in this manual can result in
personal injury or property damage. Observe the same precautions
as with similar machinery where carelessness in operating or
maintenance is hazardous to personnel. Carefully read the safety
precautions below and throughout this manual.
Review the Material Safety Data Sheet(s) for the material(s) in
the drum(s) and take all necessary precautions. Safety shoes,
work gloves, hard hat and other personal protective devices are
recommended.
Prior to initial use, inspect all moving parts and test rotation of
wheels. Perform necessary inspections, operator training, etc.

CAUTION - Install Morse Rotators in accordance with OSHA requirements for enclosure and
interlock, etc. For OSHA compliance, see OSHA subpart O.1910.212 “General Requirements for all
Machines.” Power connections and motor controls must comply with applicable codes.
An optional Safety Enclosure with Safety Interlock can be ordered for any Morse drum rotator.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including barium sulfate, cobalt, titanium dioxide, and

Machine Description
The 1-5154SS Series Drum Rotators are designed to roll a steel drum, 6” to 28” (15 to 71 cm) in diameter, and up to 40” (102 cm) long.
The drum speed of 20 RPM was set at the factory according to customer’s order specication. The drum speed is based on a 22.5” (57
cm) diameter 55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum and a 60 Hz, 1725 RPM motor. The drum rotation speed decreases with a 50 Hz motor to
16 RPM.
Maximum liquid load capacity rating is 1000 Lb. (454 kg). Dry load capacity is 300 Lb. (136 kg).
WARNING - DO NOT exceed these ratings. Exceeding these ratings or handling a drum other than those mentioned above
is unsafe and could result in equipment damage, excessive wear, motor overload and shortened service life of transmission
components.
Option
• A 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic drum can be rotated with the correct POLY option installed.
• Order Option POLY-1-5154SS factory installed on your new 1-5154SS Series Drum Rotator.
Assembly and Installation Instructions
The base has four 1/2” (1.27 cm) diameter holes spaced 19” wide x 56.5” long (48.26 cm wide x 143.51 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:
• 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 20 scfm, and 22 psi of
compressed air. The proper air pressure will depend on the weight of the drum.
• For AC motor powered rotator, 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. The motor should turn clockwise when viewed

from the fan end. Jog the motor to determine proper rotation.
Assembly and Installation Instructions
(continued)
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
conguration will also prevent the drum from moving axially.
Tighten set screws.
1. 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 8) and slide the idler plate assembly
(item 7) to the proper set of mount holes and refasten the mount bolts.
2. Do not put into service without proper motor protection and controls. Customer should provide the proper controls and consult an
electrician to complete the wiring. When starting the unit be careful to stand clear of the rotator as the drum will begin to rotate.
Rotators equipped with an air motor require 20 psi, 22 scfm. Operating the air motor at higher pressures will reduce the life of the air
motor and power transmission components.
Operating Instructions
1. Drum should be loaded onto the rotator horizontally. Overhead lifting equipment and the Morse model 41 Drum Lifting Hook provide
an e󰀨ective loading system for a horizontal 55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum. Also, the Morse model 405 Omni-Lift KarrierTM can be
used for taking a drum from vertical and placing onto the rotator horizontally (see literature).
2. Drum is now ready to be rotated.
Preventative Maintenance
1. Periodically inspect all moving parts, framework, and contact areas for signs of wear or loosening. Tighten, adjust, or replace parts
as necessary to prevent failure and maintain proper function.
2. Idler wheels are equipped with grease tting and should be lubricated periodically. High pressure grease guns are not
recommended, as their force may damage seals. Grease every 6-12 months in ordinary environment, grease monthly in dirty
conditions. Any common bearing grease will su󰀩ce, (i.e. Shell Alvania)
3. Inspect oil level in gear box / speed reducer and ll with high quality, synthetic lubricant for gears if necessary. The speed reducer
has been lled and tested prior to shipment. After operating a new machine for 1500 hours, the housing should be thoroughly
ushed out and new oil added to ll the housing to the oil level plug. The oil should be changed every 5000 operating hours
thereafter with Klubersynth UH1 6-460 (#096060) or equivalent, or more often if operating conditions cause condensation of moisture
resulting in sludge formation inside housing.
4. Motors have permanently lubricated ball bearings.
5. Pillow Block Bearings: Grease every 6-12 months in ordinary environment, grease monthly in dirty conditions. See Bearing Lubrication
Sheet for grease types and ll amounts.
