Controls

The Morse Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer 

is manually propelled and 

steered. The hydraulic pump is powered by a vane type air 

motor. The air motor is control by a momentary air valve 

located on the air motor. Attach air supply to the air valve. 

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

1. LIFT and lower function for vertical positioning of the drum.

•  To raise the drum, hold the air valve handle in the on 

position and raise the LIFT handle. Release the two 

valve handles when desired drum height is reached.

•  To lower the drum, push in the LOWER handle.  Air 

motor is not needed.

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

•  To tilt the drum forward for pouring, hold the air valve 

handle in the on position and raise the TILT handle. 

Release the two valve handles when drum angle is 

reached. 

•  To return the drum to vertical position, hold the air 

valve handle in the on position and push down on the 

TILT handle.

 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.
