IMPORTANT
INSTALLATION
Installation consists of anchoring the unit to the floor,
connecting an external air supply with 100 to 120 p.s.i and
routing the waste oil drain to a suitable waste oil reservoir.
For best results:
• Unit should be anchored to the floor.
• Air supply should be able to supply 120 p.s.i. at 44 cfm.
• Air supply line needs to be 3/4" pipe or larger.
• Air hose should be 1/2" I.D. not exceeding 20 feet In
length.
• Air flow should be unrestricted.
• Regulator/filter should be set to 120 p.s.i.
DO NOT attempt to operate the unit while on a skid. The
initial crush of the oil fifter(s) will cause the unit to move or
jump if not secured properly. The unit is equipped with a 125
p.s.i relief valve that will bleed off air if the unit is inadvertent-
ly connected to an air source greater than 125 p.s.i
See Figure (1). Install the crusher as follows:
A. Anchor the unit to the floor using 1/2" diameter hardware.
B. Connect the supplied pressure regulator/filter to the
crusher 3/8" NPT air inlet fitting.
C. Connect the external air supply to the pressure regulator/
filter. Set the regulator/filter for no more than 120 p.s.i.
inlet air pressure.\
D. Place a waste oil collection receptacle underneath the
waste oil port.
INSPECTION
Prior to operation a visual inspection shall be made. Check
crusher for leaks, worn, missing or loose parts.
Any crusher that appears to be damaged in any way, is badly
worn or operates abnormally shall be removed from use
until repairs are made. Contact a factory authorized service
center for repairs.
If overpressurizing of the equipment is believed to have
occurred, contact a factory authorized service center for
inspection of the crusher.
An annual inspection by a factory authorized service center
is recommended.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Read and understand all warnings, cautions and instruc-
tions before operating this equipment. Caution should be
used when operating this equipment as personal injury and/
or property damage can result from equipment misuse.
Adequate personal protection is recommended to prevent
splashing of oil on the skin or in the eyes.
OPERATION
Once the unit has been installed and inspected, it should be
cycled according to the following sequence of instructions:
A. Check to see if regulator/filter on incoming supply at
crusher is set at 120 p.s.i.
B. Open door and close to initiate crush cycle.
C. Immediately check regulator to note pressure of incom-
ing air. The air pressure while the bag is filling should
not fall below 85 p.s.i. If it does, crushing will not be at
optimum.
Please review the following note.
NOTE
If the external air supply is less than 100 p.s.i., the
crusher will operate but the crushing performance is
reduced and the following can result:
1.If the pressure is below 80 p.s.i. when cycling, the
unit can chug awhile cycling and the cycle time and
crushing performance will not be at the optimum
condition.
2.If the pressure is below 40 p.s.i. when cycling, the
unit can go into a cycling loop where the unit may not
shutoff automatically. If this occurs, no crushing to any
extent may result. To reset the crusher if this hap-
pens, disconnect and reconnect the air supply.
To resolve these conditions, the unit should be set up as
indicated in the installation instructions. If this can not be
done, call the factory for possible additional recommenda-
tions to solve your specific situation.
Lift the door latch and pull the door down to gain access to
the crushing chamber.
Place the oil filter(s) to be crushed gasket side down on the
bottom of the crushing chamber. Arrange the filters as
follows:
Quantity&Type Position
(1) Heavy duty truck filter Center of ram plate
(1)Auto filter Center of ram plate
(2)Auto filters Opposite corners
(3)Auto filters (2) In front corners and
(1) In back center
(4)Auto filters (2) In back corners and
(2) In front corners
For filters over 15-3/4" In height, remove bottom spacer.
Close the door and pull the door latch down securely. The
crusher will operate for approximately 55 seconds with an
audible air sound, depending on air supply.
Wait until the air flow stops before lifting door latch.
