Assembly
Your RP-50FC comes disassembled (to protect the components during shipping).
The assembly process happens in multiple phases. Perform them in the order shown.
Assembling the base frame:
1. Connect the left and right base frame support bars to the reservoir base. Use Screw A with washer
and nut.
2. Bolt the base frame vertical support bars to the reservoir base. Use Screw A with washer and nut.

RP-50FC High-Speed Oil Filter Crusher 9P/N 5900392 — March 2017 — Rev. B
3. Bolt the base frame support bars to the vertical support bars. Use Screw B with washer and nut.
4. Bolt the base frame legs to the vertical support bars. Use Screw A with washer and nut.

RP-50FC High-Speed Oil Filter Crusher 10 P/N 5900392 — March 2017 — Rev. B
5. Stand up the base frame assembly and the reservoir base.
The base frame assembly and reservoir base are now assembled.

RP-50FC High-Speed Oil Filter Crusher 11 P/N 5900392 — March 2017 — Rev. B
Mounting the enclosure to the base frame:
1. Remove the top of the enclosure, exposing the eye hitch.
2. Use the eye hitch to lift the enclosure onto the reservoir base.
3. Bolt the enclosure onto the base frame and reservoir.

RP-50FC High-Speed Oil Filter Crusher 12 P/N 5900392 — March 2017 — Rev. B
4. Bolt the enclosure to the vertical support bars on both sides. Use Screw A with one flat washer,
two ridged washers, and one nut.
The enclosure is now mounted to the base frame.
Connecting the equipment:
1. Remove the rear panel of the enclosure.

RP-50FC High-Speed Oil Filter Crusher 13 P/N 5900392 — March 2017 — Rev. B
2. Connect the cylinder hose to the pressure switch. Tighten the hose to the cylinder at the top.

RP-50FC High-Speed Oil Filter Crusher 14 P/N 5900392 — March 2017 — Rev. B
Tip Remove the top connector on the pressure switch, allowing it to be move around, thus
making it easier to connect the cylinder hose.
3. Screw down the pressure switch.
4. Connect the
anti-vibration pad and the motor at the same time to the back of the
enclosure.
Use Screw C and two washers per screw to attach the anti-vibration pad.
5. Attach the hydraulic fitting to the left and right sides of the motor.

RP-50FC High-Speed Oil Filter Crusher 15 P/N 5900392 — March 2017 — Rev. B
6. Attach the 664 mm hose (on the left below) to the hydraulic fitting on the left side of the motor.
7. Attach the 758 mm hose (on the left above) to the hydraulic fitting on the right side of the motor.

8. Add hydraulic oil to the motor.
Attaching the wiring:
1. Wires labeled P6 and P7 connect to the control board and to terminals on the motor.

RP-50FC High-Speed Oil Filter Crusher 17 P/N 5900392 — March 2017 — Rev. B
2. The P5 wire attaches differently than P6 and P7.
Connect P5 first to
the bottom of the on/off breaker switch .
The shorter two wires connect to P5 on the control board (see image of control board above).
The longer red and blue wires connect to the power unit box on the power unit.
Note: You have to remove the screws on the power unit box to connect the P5 wire.

RP-50FC High-Speed Oil Filter Crusher 18 P/N 5900392 — March 2017 — Rev. B
3. Connect one end of the power cord to
the top of the on/off breaker switch (see above),
including the ground wire.
4. Slide the other end of the power cord through the top of the tube on the vertical support bar (part
of the frame) all the way through to the bottom, then connect it to an appropriate plug.

Operation
The correct way to press any of the control buttons is to firmly press and then release. Pressing
and
holding
the control buttons can cause damage to the unit.
There are three control buttons on the RP-50FC:
•Start button, green. Activates the automatic pressing cycle. When pressed, the press ram
moves down until it contacts the item you are crushing. The press ram automatically stops when it
reaches maximum crushing pressure, after which it automatically retracts until it returns to the
starting position.
•Stop button, red. Stops all movement of the press ram if it is in use. This is your emergency
stop.
•Reverse button, blue. Returns the press ram to its original starting position. Do not hold it in
when retracting the press ram.
⚠WARNING Avoid off-center loads. If the press ram seems to be laboring more than usual or the
filter/can is unusually hard to press, stop operation. Do not operate the press ram if
the filter/can tilts or binds during the downward movement of the press head.
To operate the CB-30:
1. Place an approved waste oil container under the oil drain.
2. Lift the sliding door firmly and place an empty filter or paint can in the center of chamber, open end
down.
⚠WARNING Grip the sliding door firmly at all times when placing or retrieving filters in the
chamber. Never attempt to operate the crusher with the door open.
3. Close the sliding door.
Important: You cannot crush an item until the sliding door is fully closed.
4. Press and release the green button; an automatic cycle begins.
Once the automatic cycle starts, step away from the unit.
The press ram will extend downwards, crush the item, then automatically retract to the original
starting position and shut off.
5. To remove the crushed filter/can, open the sliding door and pull out the crushed item.
Do not get distracted. Be very careful not to scratch, cut or puncture your skin on the filter’s sharp
edges.
⚠WARNING Do not attempt to remove a stuck filter or paint can until you stop the automatic
pressing cycle using the Red button.
6. Put the breaker switch (on the top left side of the unit) to the Off (down) position when the unit is
not in use.
