Cleaning the Debris Tray
During the destruction process small fragments of the hard drive may be left on the Support Rails and in
the Debris Tray. Sweep or vacuuming the fragments from the Support Rails into Debris Tray located on
the bottom of the Destruction Chamber in between the Support Rails of the PD-5. When enough debris
has accumulated, the Debris Tray needs to be removed and emptied.
1) Make sure destruction wedge has returned to the top or home position. Wait for motor to stop.
2) Open
Door.
3) Sweep debris from side rails into Debris Tray.
4) Lift and remove Debris Tray.
5) Empty Debris Tray into trash container.
6) Check bottom of crush chamber for additional debris.
If additional debris is found use a small brush to move additional debris to the front
of the destruction chamber. There are two holes that allow debris to be swept out
of the floor of the destruction chamber.
Note:
Placing the debris tray under the
front of the PD-5 will catch the debris as it falls from the two holes in the front of the
destruction chamber.
(See “C

7) Replace the Debris Tray and resume the destruction process.
Note:
Make sure that the Debris Tray is inserted all the way to the back of the chamber or the door will not
shut completely.
