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.
DANGER - Watch Out for Pinch Points. Stay clear of moving parts. Do Not Stand Near any Part of
a Rotating Drum or Drum Holder. Operator should remain directly in front of the control station while
operating 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 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.
See VIDEO online
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 off 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 lever causes2.
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.
Installation Instuctions
Hydra-LiftRotatorsareshippedlledwith1gallonof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 off 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shutoff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 suf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.)
For AC motor powered rotator, the main power must be wired into the control box.•
Models ordered with non-explosion proof motor (i.e. 456-1-115) have the control box wired to the motor.•
Models ordered with explosion proof motor (i.e. 456-E1-115) 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.Intheeventuiddoesnotow,checkmotorwiringdiagramforclockwiserotation.

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 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, counter-
clockwise to decrease speed down to 5 RPM.
Alternate method on the air motor version: With the air
shutoff ball valve in the OFF position, raise the “ROLL”
lever. Then, slowly open the air shutoff 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.
Maintenance
Periodic inspection for the general condition of structural and mechanical components is
imperativeforsafeandefcientoperation.
Idlerwheelsanddrivebearingsareequippedwithgreasettingandshouldbe1.
lubricated periodically. High pressure grease guns are not recommended, as their
force may damage seals.

Inspect the hydraulic system for oil drips, hose damage, or other signs of wear.3.
Inspectthelevelandconditionofthehydraulicuid.Replaceanypartsthatshow

fasteners for signs of wear, fatigue, or loosening. Tighten, adjust or replace parts as
necessary to prevent failure and maintain proper function.
