Assembly

WARNING! The unit is very heavy and should only be moved with a crane or forklift truck.

Location and Assembly

Locate the crusher in a suitable place indoors on firm and level concrete.
Firstly the stand must be assembled. Attach the two legs (Fig.1C) to the cross beam (Fig.1E) using two bolts washers and nuts either side. Ensure that upright supports (Fig.1B) are secured with the far nut (Fig.1D) on eachleg.
Place the upright on the crossbeam (Fig.1E), aligning with the pre-drilled holes. Ensuring it is the correct way around with the lip over the back of the cross beam. Secure with two bolts, washers and nuts vertically through the cross beam and two horizontally through the lip of the upright.

Secure the upright supports (Fig.1B) already attached to the legs (Fig.1D), to the upright using a bolt, nut and washer part way up the upright.
The unit must be bolted to the floor with four 1/2” anchor bolts, one at each end of the legs. This must be before the crushing unit is secured.
A fork lift truck or suitable crane should be used to raise the unit to its operational position. Remove the large nut and bolt from upper part of the upright. Slide the mounting collars on the back of the crushing module onto the upright and align the holes in the upper collar with the holes in the upright and insert the large bolt and secure with the nut provided.
The oil collection tray has a 1/2” hose adaptor on its underside so the unit can be plumbed into a remote waste oil container.

Air Supply

Connect the air supply to the air inlet on the air regulator mounted on the right hand side of the unit adjacent to the door handle. The inlet connection is 1/4”FNPT. The recommended air hook-up procedure is shown in Fig.2
You will require a minimum air pressure of 100 psi.

WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 190 psi whilst operating the filter crusher. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life, and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal injury.
Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the ram.
Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.

Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.

Fitting Door Handle

Place the handle shaft through the door from the outside and secure it with a nylon washer and nut (Fig.3).
Note: The door handle has a locking button and when fitting the handle it should be configured so the locking button requires pressing to fully latch or unlatch the door. The handle should be configured so the closed (locked) position will leave the handle pointing downwards.
Move the handle to the horizontal (open) position. Place the washer and door catch on the end of the door handle shaft pointing downwards and secure with the screw (Fig.4).

Operation

Open the air regulator and set the pressure to a minimum of 100 psi.
Place the empty filter, open end downward, in the centre of the crushing chamber.
Close the door ensuring the lock is full engaged. (The crusher will not function until the door is firmly closed).

Turn the control lever LEFT to the ‘DOWN’ position, and the piston will descend.
When the crushing ram reaches the bottom, the filter is crushed. You can also listen for the air to stop flowing (approx 30 seconds).
Turn the control lever RIGHT to the ‘UP’ position. When the piston has returned to the start position, move the control lever back to the centre ‘STOP’ position.

WARNING! Never attempt to open the door until the piston is fully retracted and the control lever is in the ‘Stop’ position.
Open the door and remove the crushed filter. Close the air regulator and disconnect the air supply.
Note: Leave the door ajar when not in use.

Maintenance

WARNING! All inspection and maintenance procedures should be carried out with the air disconnected and the ram retracted.

Normal maintenance.

Persons using the crusher should be properly trained in its use including inspection of the unit prior to operation.
