are mostly empty. It is not intended
to continuously process full cans.
Caution: Full cans must be
punctured one at a time and in the
center position only!
Please read over the instructions and
make sure you understand operating
procedures before using the unit.

Always refer to the Product Safety Data Sheet to check chemical
compatibility when multiple aerosols are to be co-mingled in the same

ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the 2” bung cap from an empty 30 or 55 gallon recovery drum.
Insert the threaded nipple of the AeroVent® 3X into the opening and
turn the unit until it is hand tight. Center the unit over the drum.
2. Adjust the rear support feet clockwise until they are snug to the top of
the drum. Then, adjust the front support foot until it is tight to the rim of
the drum (the “chime”).
3. Place the operating handle on the mounting plate so that the holes are
aligned. Insert one bolt (with washer) through each hole. Loosely install
one locking nut onto each bolt, but do not tighten yet. (Figure 1)
4. Lower the operating handle so that the swivel foot is centered side-to-
side on the lid striker plate. Now tighten all nuts and bolts of the
operating handle assembly to the mounting plate. (Figure 2)
5. Remove the 3/4” bung cap from the top of the recovery drum and thread
the Safe2Vent™ Dual Filter with Manifold into place. Hand-tighten
only! Note: Remove the plastic packaging completely before installing
the Safe2Vent™Filter.
6. Attach the clamp end of the grounding cable to a suitable
grounding source, such as a metal water pipe or grounding rod.

OPERATION
1. Lift the operating handle to release the clamp, and open the AeroVent®3X lid.
2. Ensure that the front panel is in place in front of the trough liners.
3. Using the guide on the side of the unit, select the corresponding can guide for the size of the can being
punctured. Insert the can guide into the retainer clips located on the underside of the AeroVent®3X lid. Slide
the can guide onto the retainer clips until it locks into place. Remove the can guide completely when draining
3” diameter cans.
NOTE: Use of the wrong can guide will result in aerosol cans not puncturing correctly and improper sealing
of the lid, which will result in the leakage of can contents and vapors during draining.
4. Insert aerosol cans with the bottom of the can pointing toward the clamp, and up against the front panel in
the trough. (The clamp will engage the lid and push the lid down).
NOTE: When processing less than three cans, insert single cans into the center trough liner and dual cans into
the outside trough liners. While processing multiple cans simultaneously, only puncture aerosol cans of the
same diameter or cans may not puncture correctly and improper sealing of the lid can occur.
5. Close the lid. Pushing down on the operating handle will clamp the lid down and engage the puncture
mechanism.
6. The aerosol cans have now been punctured and are draining. Wait 15-30 seconds and confirm the Viz-a-
Ball™ indicators have stopped moving to ensure the cans are completely drained. You may now lift the
handle and open the lid to remove the cans.
Note: If aerosol cans are mostly full, leave the handle in the locked position for 45-60 seconds to allow the cans
to drain completely.
PRECAUTIONARY WARNING!
Do not use the AeroVent®3X for draining expanding foam sealant aerosol products or
spray adhesive products.
Always use the correct can guide for the diameter of the cans that you are draining.
The clamp must remain locked until the cans are fully drained.
To ensure that the cans are drained, wait 15-30 seconds and confirm the Viz-a-Ball™
indicators on the drum filter have stopped, before un-locking the clamp and opening the lid.
If a can is full when punctured, wait at least one minute before opening the unit. Full cans
take longer to empty and may discharge fumes or liquids if the unit is opened too soon.
We recommend changing the carbon filter every 90 days or 600 cans. If cans contain
larger amounts of remaining liquids, change the filters more often. Also, we do not
recommend allowing the drum to become more than 2/3 full. An air space is needed in the
drum to allow for draining and venting of fumes. Do not use single Safe2Vent™ Filters.
This unit is designed to be used with the Safe2Vent™ Dual Filters only.

HELPFUL HINT: Leave the unit mounted on the drum to replace the cobalt points.
1. Open the lid and remove the left and right shrouds including the grounding cable.
2. Remove the four bolts that secure the bellows flange to the base from underneath the unit. There is no need to
loosen any of the bellows clamps, unless the bellows are damaged and need to be replaced.
3. Rotate the trough assembly upward and allow it to rest against the lid.
NOTE: The bellows flange may have to be gently pried off of the flange gasket to rotate the assembly up.
4. Loosen the (3) set-screws with a 5/16” wrench and replace the points. Tighten the bolts against the new points.
5. Re-assemble the unit in the reverse order of the steps above.
NOTE: Do not forget to install the grounding cable.
