Controls

The Morse Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer 

is manually propelled and steered. The drum 

lift is powered by a single phase 115V AC motor with a momentary switch, cord 

and plug. 

There are two functions for the operator to control (Figure 3.1).

1.  LIFT and Lower Function for vertical positioning of the drum. 

a. Plug the motor into a standard 115V power supply. 

b. Turn the motor on by holding the momentary switch in the on position. The 

drum will lift. 

c. Release the momentary switch when the drum is at the desired height. 

d. To lower the drum: With the motor off, push in the LOWER handle.

2.  TILT Function to control the degree of rotation of the drum. 

a. Turn the hand crank to turn the drum. 

b. Before releasing your grip on the hand crank, pull out the crank stop pin 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.

WARNING

 - Watch out for pinch points

 

Stay clear of moving parts. Operator should remain behind the 

push handle during the lift operation.

Floor Lock

Floor lock handle is located on left side of push handle.  Pulling floor lock handle toward operator until it locks in down position activates 

the floor lock. When floor lock is activated it prevents unwanted free wheeling of unit.  Floor conditions determine effectiveness of floor 

lock.  Operator should verify its holding action before depending on it to hold.
