Safety Information (continued)
DANGER - Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, will result in serious injury or death.
This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.
WARNING - Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION - Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, can result in damage to the machine.
WARNING - The End-Over-End Drum Rotator is designed to handle one or two drums of the types
listed at the top of page 3. Machine Description. DO NOT attempt to handle any other type of drum or
object. DO NOT exceed the weight capacity of 800 Lb.
WARNING -DoNotModifytheUnit.Undernocircumstancesshouldanymodicationsbemadetothe
Morsemachinerywithoutfactoryauthorization.Anymodicationsmayvoidthewarranty.Thismachine
wasdesignedtoperformaspecicjobandalterationsmayresultininjurytooperatorormachine.
WARNING -NoLooseFittingClothing.Wearclose-ttingclothingandsafetyequipmentappropriate
tothe job.Loose ttingclothing maybecome caughtonthemachineryandcauseseverepersonal
injury.
CAUTION - Wear Safety Shoes. Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles and hard toe protection.
DANGER - Stay Clear of Rotating Drum. NEVER allow anyone to be near any part of the rotating
drum or drum holder. Operator should remain near the push button station and others should
stay clear of the rotator. Morse Drum Rotators should be installed in accordance with OSHA subpart
O, 1910.212 - “General requirements for all machines.” “Revolving drums, barrels, and containers shall
be guarded by an enclosure which is interlocked with the drive mechanism, so that the barrel, drum, or
container cannot revolve unless the guard enclosure is in place.” (An optional safety enclosure can be
ordered for any MORSE drum rotator.)
Machine Description
The 2-300 End-Over-End Drum Rotators are designed to rotate a ribbed 55-gallon steel drum
22.5” in diameter. The maximum full-drum capacity is 800 Lb. Capacity is de-rated to 400 Lb. for
a half-full drum. Half-full capacity is an indication of the capacity for tilting a bottom heavy drum. A
partially full drum with an unbalanced and shifting load is harder to tilt than a full drum.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including barium sulfate, cobalt, titanium dioxide, and
2-methylimidazole, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, and bisphenol-A, which is known to
the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Important
Review the Material Safety Data Sheet(s) for the material(s) in the drum(s) and take all necessary precautions.1.
Safety shoes, work gloves, hard hat and other personal protective devices are recommended.
Please read all instructions thoroughly before attempting to operate your new MORSE drum rotator.2.
The 2-300 series has a maximum capacity rating of 800 Lb. per drum, and is designed to rotate two 55-gallon3.
steel drums, end over end. DO NOT exceed these ratings. Exceeding these ratings or handling drums other than those mentioned
above is unsafe and could result in equipment damage, excessive wear, motor overload and shortened service life of transmission
components.
When loading, unloading, operating, or maintaining your MORSE drum rotator, always use care and good judgment. Maintain secure4.
footingandarmhold.Keephandsandlooseclothingawayfromallmovingparts.Neverallowanyonetobeneararotatingdrum.
Read operating instructions and review the pictures in the sales brochure before operation.
Install all Morse rotators in accordance with OSHA subpart O, 1910.212 - “General requirements for all machines.”5.
Assembly Instructions
Removethefourboltsfromtheoormountanglesandremovetherotatorfromtheshippingpallet.1.
Positiontherotatorinthedesiredlocationandbolttooorusingoormountangles.5/8”x3”Lagboltsarerecommended.2.
The control box is wired to motor at factory on rotators equipped with an AC non-explosion proof motor (e.g. model # 2-300-3-230).3.
The main power must be wired into the starter. See wiring diagram included inside the control box. Units ordered with an explosion
proof motor (e.g. model # 2-300-E3-230), have no wiring from the NEMA 7/9 control box to motor and the control box is not mounted.
Please consult an electrician to complete the wiring. Rotators equipped with an air motor (e.g. model # 2-300-A), feature an onboard
lter/regulator/lubricatorwitha3/8”NPTshuto󰀨 ontheinletwhereaquickcoupling canbe installedforconnectinganair line.Air
requirements are 60 psi, 60 scfm. Operating the air motor at higher pressures will reduce the life of the air motor and power transmission
components. Do NOT operate an air powered unit at 60 PSI without a load, as it will increase the motor RPM beyond the intended
design, resulting in damage to transmission components.
Operating Instructions
Before operating the rotator, ensure that the load binders are secured to the drum holder to prevent interference with the frame. Never1.
operate rotator when load binders are loose or detached.
Using the “JOG” option, position the drum holder with the load binders on the top side. Disengage the load binders and drape away2.
from the saddle band to allow room for the drum.
Using an overhead hoist and the MORSE model 41 Lifting Hook, raise the 55-gallon steel drum in the horizontal position and set into3.
the drum holder with the saddle band centered between the middle two ribs.
Secure the drum into the drum holder by tightening the two load binders around the drum. Secure the snap hook to the loose ends of4.
the cinch chains, pinning the load binder handles under the chain to prevent inadvertent releasing of the load binder. Remove model
41 Lifting Hook.
After ensuring that the area around the rotator is clear, turn the switch to “RUN” and press the start button.5.
Maintenance
Pillow block bearings are equipped with grease tting and should be lubricated periodically. High pressure grease guns are not1.
recommended, as their force may damage seals.
Inspectoillevelingearbox/speedreducerandllwithhighquality,syntheticlubricantforgearsifnecessary.Use2. Klubersynth UH1
6-460 (#096060)orequivalent.Thespeedreducerhasbeenlledandtestedpriortoshipment.Afteroperatinganewmachinefor50
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 6 months or 2500 operating hours thereafter, or more often if operating conditions cause condensation of moisture resulting in
sludge formation inside housing.
Motors have permanently lubricated ball bearings.3.
Periodically inspect all moving parts, load binders and cinch chains, framework and contact areas for signs of wear or loosening.4.
Tighten, adjust or replace parts as necessary to prevent failure and maintain proper function.
