Attn:
Purchaser’s of the Newstripe,
AeroVent 1X, 3X or Standard
Aerosol Can Recycling units Respirator Required Decal
Dear Customer:
We thank you for your purchase of the AeroVent aerosol can recycling unit and apologize for the
inconvenience that may be caused concerning the RESPIRATOR REQUIRED decal on the unit.
Obviously, many companies have comprehensive safety programs in place that would supersede this
decal and it would not be necessary. Unfortunately, many of our customers do not. So, in the interest of
safety, we have chosen to err on the side of caution with regards to those that may not have programs
in place.
For example, the AeroVent X as designed is intended to puncture mostly empty cans, (those exhausted
through normal discharge). However, some users have chosen to puncture and drain cans that are close
to full. This quickly exhausts the effectiveness of the carbon filter requiring more frequent filter changes
that may or may not be done. Others have located the unit on a shop floor that is merely ‘open
atmosphere’ with no fans or HIVAC for additional air movement. These are two examples of when a
respirator should absolutely be worn.
On the other hand, a respirator would not be mandatory if the unit is operated outdoors or in a well
ventilated area and the operator is ‘upwind’ of the exhaust port during puncturing or when opening the
lid to insert or remove cans.
We appreciate your understanding of our position and please let us know if we may assist in satisfying
your requirements.
Sincerely,
Ray Krebs
General Manager

handle. Position handle on top of lid and install 2 screws from underside
and tighten screws.
5) Place the operating handle on the mounting post. Insert one 5/16-18 x 1”
bolt through each handle and mounting post hole. Secure with one
5/16-18 locking nut and washer on each bolt and snug nuts at this time. (Pic 1)

OPERATION
1) Using the can guide on the side of the unit, select the matching plunger block (2”, 2.5” or 3”)
2) Lift the operating handle to release clamp, and open the AeroVent® lid.
3) Can stop should be in slots at front of the trough liner.
4) Insert 1 aerosol can with the bottom of the can pointing toward the clamp, and up against the forward stop.
5) Close the lid. Operate by pushing down on the operating handle. (The clamp will engage the lid and push the lid
down).
6) Push down until the operating clamp “locks” into place (“Puncture & Drain position”). The aerosol can has now
been punctured. Wait 15-30 seconds to allow can to drain. You may now lift the handle to the “unload” position
and open the lid to remove the can.
Note: If aerosol cans are mostly full, leave the handle in the locked position for 45-60 seconds to allow can to
drain completely.
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 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.

COBALT POINT REPLACEMENT
HELPFUL HINT: Leave the unit mounted on the drum to replace cobalt points.
1. Open the lid and remove the left and right shrouds.
2. Loosen the bottom clamp on the bellows. There is no need to
loosen the top bellows clamp, unless the bellows are damaged and
need replaced.
3. Remove the trough liner can stop. Bellows may have to be
gently pried off of lower bushings to rotate assembly up. Rotate
the trough assembly upward and allow it to rest against the lid.
4. Loosen the setscrew with a 3/32” hex key and then replace the
point. Tighten the setscrew against the new point. Do not use
locktight on this setscrew.
5. Re-assemble the unit in reverse order.
SAFE2FILTER REPLACEMENT

valve to expose the edge.)
2) Lift off the filter element from the base.
3) Install the new element onto the filter base.
4) Replace the filter lid by pressing it into the top of the element.
