ASSEMBLY
1) Install the front support foot in the base of the unit.
2) Remove the 2” bung plug from an empty 30 or 55 gallon recovery drum.
Insert the threaded nipple of the AeroVent® Standard into the opening and
turn the unit until it is hand tight. The rear support foot should be located
just inside the rim (chime) of the drum.
3) Adjust the rear support foot clockwise until it is snug to the top of the
drum. Then, adjust the front support foot until it is tight to the chime.
4) Open the lid and let it rest against the back stop. Remove the two screws
from the lid handle. Position the lid handle on top of the lid and tighten the
two screws from the underside of the lid.
5) Place the operating handle/clamp assembly on the mounting plate so
that the holes are aligned. Insert one bolt (with washer) through each
hole. Install one lock nut onto each bolt, but do not fully tighten. (Pic 1)
6) Place one of the plunger blocks into the hole on the closed lid assembly.
Lower the operating handle so that it is centered side-to-side on the plunger
block. Tighten all nuts and bolts of the operating handle assembly to the
mounting plate at this time. (Pic 2)
7) Install the can stop in the slots at the front of the trough liner.
8) Remove the 3/4” bung plug from the top of the recovery drum and thread
the Safe2Filterfilter housing into the ¾” bung. Hand-tighten only! Note:
Remove the plastic packaging completely before installing the SafeFilter
Filter.
9) Install the ground cable with a rear cover bolt of the AeroVent (See
the photos in the maintenance section). Attach the clamp end of the
ground cable to a suitable ground source, such as a metal water pipe
or ground rod.
Box should include these parts:
AeroVent®with Ground Cable

Safe2Filter
5/16-18 x 3/4” Bolt (4)

OPERATION
1) Using the can guide on the side of the unit, select the matching plunger (2”, 2.5” or 3”)
2) Lift the operating handle to release the clamp, and then open the AeroVent® lid.
3) The can stop should be in the slots at the front of the trough liner.
4) Apply grease to the lid gasket prior to use, and as needed to ensure a proper seal, to keep the lid from sticking to
the gasket.
5) Insert 1 aerosol can with the bottom of the can pointing toward the clamp, and up against the can stop.
6) Close the lid. Operate the AeroVent® by pushing down on the operating handle. (The clamp will engage the lid
and push the lid down).
7) Push the operating handle down, until the clamp locks into place in the Puncture & Drain Position. The aerosol
can has now been punctured. Wait 15-30 seconds to allow the can to drain. You may now lift the handle to
release the clamp, and open the lid to remove the can.
Note: If aerosol cans are mostly full, leave the handle in the locked position for at least 60 seconds to allow the
can to drain completely.
WARNING: DO NOT USE WITH EXPANDING FOAM SPRAYS, INSECTICIDES OR STRONG ADHESIVES.
PRECAUTIONARY WARNING!
Do not use the AeroVent®for draining expanding foam
sealant aerosol products or spray adhesive products.
Always use the correct plunger block for the diameter of the
can that you are draining.
The clamp must remain locked until the can completely
drains.
To insure that the can is drained, wait 15-30 seconds before
un-locking the clamp and opening the lid.
If a can is full when punctured, wait at least 1 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 Safe2Filter™ every 60 days or
600 cans. If cans contain larger amounts of remaining liquids,
change the filter more often. Also, we do not recommend
allowing the drum to become more than 70% (2/3) full. An
air space is needed in the drum to allow for draining and
venting of fumes.
