Safety Information
While Morse Manufacturing Co. drum handling equipment is
engineered for safety and efficiency, 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

Questions and answers
My tumbler has no power..
Possible causes of power issues with the Morse tumbler 310-1 include:
1. Missing Electric Control Box – Required to start/stop the rotator.
2. Incorrect power supply – Ensure the correct model is used:
- CP-310-1-115 for 115V 60Hz
- CP-310-1-230 for 208V or 230V 60Hz
3. Unconnected or faulty electrical connections.
4. Safety interlock not engaged – The rotator must shut off when the enclosure door is open, per OSHA requirements.
5. For air motor powered units – Insufficient air supply or improper connection at the shutoff ball valve.
Each of these can prevent the tumbler from operating properly.
