IMPORTANT NOTE
HDC-900 series crusher-compactors are designed
to compact non-hazardous and low level hazardous
waste materials. They do not include air filtration
systems (e.g. HEPA filters) to remove particulates,
aerosols, volatile compounds, et al. that might be
released from waste materials as a result of
compaction. Review safety messages and
instructions printed on, or provided with, waste
materials (e.g. empty containers or packaging)
before compacting them. If waste material indicates
that it should not be compacted, or should only be
compacted where air filtration is applied, do not use
this machine to compact the material.

SIGNAL WORDS
This manual uses SIGNAL WORDS to direct the reader’s attention to important safety-related messages. These
messages describe uses of the product that could result in personal injury or property damage. Each signal word
corresponds to a specific hazard level.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY.
Identifies practices likely to result in product/property damage, such as operation that might damage
the product.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, material handling is
dangerous and no manual can address every conceivable risk. Ultimately, the most effective way to avoid injury is for the
operator to exercise sound judgment whenever using this machine.
Improper or careless operation might result in serious personal injuries or death.
Failure to read and understand the entire manual before installing, using or servicing the product constitutes misuse.
Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and maintenance procedures.
Do not operate the crusher with the loading door open.
Do not operate the machine if the emergency stop switch does not function properly.
Do not stand in front of the door during operation.
Keep clear of all moving parts during operation.
High pressure oil easily punctures skin which can cause injury such as gangrene. If a hose or coupling develops a
leak, repair the leak before operating the crusher.
Do not continue to use the crusher if it is damaged or makes unusual noises during operation.
Do not change the pressure relief valve setting! In particular, do not increase the setting.
Do not clean out drum crusher unless power is disconnected.
Do not attempt to crush smooth-walled drums with this machine. Drums must be ribbed to crush properly.
Do not attempt to crush drums filled with items or materials. Only use this unit to crush empty drums.
Do not use brake fluids or jack oils in the hydraulic system. Only use AW-32 hydraulic oil or its equal.
Do not modify the product in any way. Unauthorized modifications might make the lifter unsafe to use and
automatically void the LIMITED WARRANTY on either p. 18 or 19.
DO NOT use this device unless every label is in place and easily readable. See LABELING DIAGRAM on. p. 17.

VALVE AND PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
For locations of valves and switches mentioned to in the following instructions, refer to the figures on page 8.
NOTE: These instructions apply to all HDC-900-IDC units manufactured after June 2011, i.e. units equipped with
manifold 22-127-008 rev C and wired according to electrical circuit diagram 22-124-024 rev D.
1. Install pressure gauges in ports GA and UL GA. [NOTE: Hose fittings and adapters might be necessary to connect
gauges to these ports.]
a. Remove cap plug from GA port (located under directional valve; see FIG. 6) and install a 3000 psi gauge.
b. Remove cap plug from UL GA port (located under sequence valve and pointing towards motor; see FIG. 7) and
install a 3000 psi gauge.
2. Prepare the pressure switches. See FIGS. 5 & 6.
a. Using a standard screwdriver, loosen the set screws on both of the pressure switches (connected to ports PS1 and
PS2);
b. Turn the knurled knobs of both pressure switches clockwise by hand until they stop.
3. Adjust the relief valve, which is connected to port RV as shown in FIG. 7. Turn the relief valve counterclockwise using
an adjustable wrench on the adjustment hex of the valve.
4. Turn the selector-switch on the control box to “COMPACT”
5. Press the “CYCLE START” button on the control box and hold it until the motor engages. As the motor operates, the
piston rod extends causing the platen to descend towards the bottom of the drum enclosure.
6. Turn the relief-valve clockwise until the pressure at the GA port is 1100 psi.
7. While the motor continues to run and the piston rod is fully extended (platen at the bottom of its cycle), adjust the unload
valve. The valve is connected to port SV. See FIG. 7.
a. Turn the unload valve with an adjustable wrench on the adjustment hex. Typically, adjustment requires turning the
valve clockwise. Turn the valve until the UL GA pressure gauge shows 1000 psi.
b. At this point, the gauge pressure drops approximately to zero, which indicates that the valve shifted. The shift is
also indicated by a change in the sound produced by the motor.
c. The large pump section is now “unloaded”, allowing fluid to return to the tank. The small pump section, however,
remains loaded.
8. Adjust the compacting force:
a. Observe the pressure on the gauge connected to the GA port. Turn the relief-valve clockwise until the GA gauge
shows 1500 psi. The power unit is now operating at 1500 psi pressure.
b. Decrease the setting on PS2—the upper pressure switch shown in FIGS. 5 & 6. Rotate the knurled knob
counterclockwise until it clicks. The click indicates that the directional valve shifted. Consequently, the piston rod
retracts and the platen returns to the raised position. When the platen is fully retracted, the power unit turns off. The
compacting force is now adjusted.
9. Adjust the crushing force:
a. Turn the selector switch on the control box to “CRUSH”;
b. Press the cycle-start button and hold it until the motor engages.
c. While the power unit operates:
i. Increase the relief valve (RV) setting. Turn the valve clockwise until the GA port gauge displays 3000 psi.
ii. As the power unit runs, turn the knurled knob on the lower pressure switch connected to port PS1 (see FIGS.
5& 6) counterclockwise until it “clicks”. The click indicates that the switch is open. Simultaneously, the valve
shifts and the piston retracts (platen rises).
iii. Turn the knob counterclockwise an additional full turn.
iv. Cycle the crusher. As the platen descends, hydraulic pressure will increase until it matches the pressure
switch setting. The goal of this procedure is to adjust the switch setting to 2,500psi. As the crusher cycles,
observe the pressure gauge. Make note of the highest pressure reading achieved during the cycle. If the
highest pressure is not within the range of 2,500psi ± 100psi, adjust the pressure setting: turn the knob
counterclockwise to decrease the setting or clockwise to increase the setting.
d. The crushing force is now adjusted.
10. Return the unit to service:
a. Run the unit through a complete cycle in both modes (COMPACT and CRUSH) to confirm that the machine is
functioning properly.
b. Remove the pressure gauges and reinstall the cap plugs in ports GA and UL GA.
c. Tighten the set screws of the pressure switches PS! And PS2 to fix the positions of the knurled knobs.

INSTALLATION
The following items are necessary to install the device:
Fork truck.
Lag bolts, masonry drill, masonry bit, and wrench for lag bolt, grout, and steel shims.
Power circuit with voltage matching the voltage of the unit including fuses and disconnect or circuit breakers.
Minimize voltage drop by using adequate wire size. Refer to NEC 70 for power circuit specifications.
Move the crusher to its installation location. If using a fork truck, insert the forks into the fork tubes. Drive as far
forward as possible while being careful not to damage the door hinges or door closure mechanism. Once the unit is
placed in its installation location, anchor it to the floor with anchor bolts selected by your building engineer. To
complete the installation:
1. Connect the power source as shown in the appropriate electrical circuit diagram on pp. 11-14.
2. Cycle the unit a few times; then check the oil level in the reservoir. Add oil, if necessary. NOTE: Only use ISO AW-
32 hydraulic fluid or its equivalent.
WASH-DOWN (-WD) MODELS: Wash-down units are NOT waterproof! Only install and use wash-down units indoors.
Wash the chamber only with warm or cold, non-caustic, low-corrosivity solutions applied at low pressure (˂100 psi).
LOADING THE CHAMBER
Read IMPORTANT NOTE on cover page before loading the chamber. In crushing mode, this device will crush
standard 55 gallon (or smaller) ribbed steel drums. It should not be used to crush smooth-walled drums (without ribs),
which are more resistant to crushing and require much higher crushing forces. NOTE: The machine might not crush a
particular ribbed steel drum. It is also possible that the crusher will sustain minor damage during typical operation.
In compaction mode, the machine should be used to reduce easily compressible materials loaded inside a drum.
NOTE: Crushing and compacting operations must be performed independently. Do not attempt to crush drums loaded
with material. For instance, do not fill drums with scrap metal, paint cans, oil filters, etc. and then attempt to crush the
drum and the contents. The crusher might be severely damaged in the process.
Before operating the machine:
1. Confirm that the platen is properly configured for the task. Platen configurations are discussed on p. 16.
2. Carefully center the item to be crushed or compacted below the platen. An offset can cause uneven loading and
damage the cylinder rod.
3. Make sure the drum is empty if operating in CRUSH mode.
OPERATION
Read IMPORTANT NOTE on cover page before operating the machine. To operate the crusher: 1) select the
appropriate platen configuration (see "Platen configurations" on p. 16); 2) place a drum inside the crusher and center it
beneath the platen; 3) close the door and latch the door; 4) turn the key switch on the control box to the appropriate
mode, i.e. either CRUSH or COMPACT; 5) pull out the red emergency stop button; 6) press the “CYCLE START” button
and hold it until the motor engages. NOTE: Each unit is equipped with a momentary contact control. To begin a crushing
or compacting cycle, simply press the START button and hold it until the motor engages. The ram will extend and retract
without having to hold down the button.
The direction of travel is determined by the starting position of the platen. If the platen is fully raised to the top of the
cabinet (cylinder fully retracted), the cylinder will extend when the start button is pressed causing the platen to move
downwards. Otherwise, the cylinder will retract and raise the platen to the "Home" position. The power unit will turn off
at that point. Pressing the cycle start button again will begin a new cycle. The operator must hold the button for a few
seconds to latch the circuit (wait until you hear the motor turn on) and begin the cycle.
When the crusher is in home position and the cycle start button is pressed, the cylinder pushes the platen down
onto (or into if operating in COMPACT mode) the drum. In order to achieve a short cycle time, both sections of the
pump in the power unit drive oil to the cylinder until the cylinder pressure reaches approximately 1000 PSI. At that time,
the higher-displacement section recycles oil to the reservoir while the low-displacement, high-pressure section
continues to pump oil to the cylinder. This arrangement creates a typical High-Low circuit.
As the platen crushes a drum, or compacts the contents of a drum, the cylinder pressure increases until it reaches
the set-point of a particular pressure switch. The valve shifts to center and a timer activates to control the period of
decompression. When the decompression period ends, the directional valve shifts and reverses the direction of oil flow
to the cylinder. Reversing the flow of oil causes the cylinder to retract and raise the platen to the home position. When
the cylinder returns the platen all the way to the top of the cabinet, the power unit turns off. At this point, the cabinet
door can be opened to empty the chamber.
The ram can be stopped at any point during a cycle. To stop the ram, press the red emergency stop button located
on the control panel. Pressing the button instantly stops the motor and prevents the cylinder from cycling any further.
To disengage the stop button, pull it out. Press the cycle start button again to retract the cylinder and returns the platen
to the home position. The crusher is again ready for operation.

PLATEN CONFIGURATIONS
Configure the platen to match your application. The compactor platen is
circular and fastens to the end of the cylinder rod; the crusher platen slides
onto the edge of the compactor platen and is roughly square shaped.
Compaction Mode: Remove the crusher platen. Press the START button
and lower the platen to an ergonomic level. Then, press the red emergency
stop button to make the ram stop. Remove the crusher platen by sliding it
off of the circular compactor platen. The crusher platen is heavy, so we
recommend that at least 2 people perform this task together.
Crush mode: Install the crusher platen by sliding it unto the compactor
platen. Center the crusher attachment on the circular platen as shown in the
graphic to the right.
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
Record the condition of the crusher before putting it into service. Thoroughly photograph the unit from multiple
angles. Include close range photographs of the power unit with and with the cover making sure to adequately visualize
internal components (do not disassemble any part of the power unit), door hinges and latches/closures, the interior of
the drum chamber, the crusher and compactor platens, labeling, the hydraulic cylinder, frame elements, and anchoring
sites (stationary units). Close the door and cycle the cylinder all the way down and back to home position. Describe the
motion of the cylinder, e.g. smooth and at a constant rate, as well as sounds produced by the power unit and cylinder
during the cycle. Collate all photographs and writings into a single file. Identify the file appropriately. This file is a record
of the unit in satisfactory condition. Compare the results of all inspections to this record to determine whether the unit is
in satisfactory condition. Do not use the machine unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like
damaged paint/powdercoat, do not constitute changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be
applied to all affected areas as soon as damage occurs to prevent rusting and/or corrosion from occurring. Left
untreated, rusting and/or corrosion could become a safety concern.
INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE
Inspections and repairs should be performed by qualified persons. Compare the results of each inspection to the
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION. Do not use the machine unless all parts are in satisfactory condition.
Replace parts that are not in satisfactory condition before returning the unit to service. Only use manufacturer-
approved replacement parts to restore the unit to satisfactory condition. DON’T GUESS! If you have any questions
about the condition of your lifter, contact the TECHNICAL SERVICE department. The phone number is provided
on the cover page of this manual. Never make temporary repairs of damaged or missing parts.
At least once per month (once per week for units used more than 5 times per week), evaluate the condition of the
crusher. Repair all issues before returning it to service.
1. Electrical system: Examine the electrical system for damaged wires/cables.
2. Hoses: Inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings for cuts, bulges, tears, kinks, punctures, or other damage causing oil
leaks or that could cause leaks.
3. Ram: Empty the crushing chamber and cycle the ram. Listen for unusual noises and watch for cylinder binding
during the cycle. Check the cylinder to make sure that it is not bent or cracked.
4. Oil: Check the oil level in the reservoir. With the ram in the home position (cylinder fully retracted), oil should be 2” –
21/2” below the top of the tank. If oil is needed, add ISO AW-32 hydraulic fluid or its equal. Change the oil at least
once per year. Immediately change oil if it darkens, looks milky, or becomes gritty. Replace the oil by removing the
oil fill plug. Drain oil from the reservoir. Then, flush the reservoir with fresh hydraulic fluid before filling it. Install the
drain plug and fill the reservoir with new hydraulic fluid. Only use ISO AW-32 hydraulic oil or its equal.
5. Labels: All labels must be in place and easily readable. See LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 17.
6. Crushing system: Disconnect the crusher from the electrical power source. Open the door. Inspect the platens,
cylinder, and crushing chamber. Make sure that the circular compactor platen is securely pinned to the end of the
cylinder. Determine the condition of whichever platen(s) will be used. Look for broken welds, cracks, and other
damage. Clean the chamber surfaces as needed.
7. Fork tubes: Inspect the fork tubes. Tubes should be square and rigid and free of significant rust and corrosion.
8. Finish: Exposed metal rusts. Apply touchup paint wherever the finish is damaged as soon as damage occurs. Use
steel wool or a steel bristle brush to remove rust before applying touchup paint to the affected areas.
9. WASH-DOWN (-WD) MODELS: Wash the crushing chamber only with warm or cold, non-caustic, low-corrosivity
solutions applied at low pressure (˂100 psi). Exposed metal rusts. Apply touchup paint wherever the finish is
damaged as soon as damage occurs to prevent rusting.
