Receiving Inspection and Installation
Before attempting to operate this unit, thoroughly read and understand this manual. Completely remove all tape
and packaging. Inspect the unit immediately upon delivery. If shipping damage is evident, inform the
delivering carrier immediately and contact customer service at the numbers and address printed on the back
cover of this manual.
Locate a suitable place in your shop to install the unit. This unit must be installed indoors on a level surface.
The unit is required to be anchor bolted to a concrete floor, for safe operation.
This unit is shipped in a lowered position. First, position the crusher in the desired location in your shop.
Second, mark the floor for the anchor bolt location to match the holes in the base of the stand. Four 3/8 or 1/2
inch diameter anchor bolts are recommended to install the unit. Install the anchor bolts according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Secure the unit to the floor with the anchor bolts.
The unit is shipped also with the crushing module fastened to the stand in a lowered position. Caution: The
crushing module weighs 210 lb. and we recommend using a shop crane capable of handling the load or lift truck
to perform the lifting. Remove the bolt and nut from the stand post, do not remove the 5/16 inch screw from the
top of the post. Raise the crushing module from the shipping position to the working position. Align the hole
on the tube on the crushing module with the hole from the hole in the stand post and insert the bolt provided.
Secure with the nut on the bolt.
Connect the catch basin to the appropriate waste oil container as required by national, state, or local regulations.
The catch basin connection is a 3/4 FNPT fitting located on the bottom or on the side. If the opposite side
connection is desired, simply remove the catch basin and install with the connection on the desired side. The
unit may be connected using 3/4 male pipe to a remote waste oil tank. Another option is to connect the catch
basin to a drum. Use 3/4 pipe close nipple, a 1 in. I.D. oil resistant hose and a hose clamp to connect the hose to
the catch basin. Install the hose in the bung of the drum and cut the length of the hose so it will fit in the drum 2
to 4 in. The installation must provide for the easy removal of the catch basin as sludge and semi-solid residue
from oil filters may accumulate. The catch basin requires periodic cleaning to remove solid residues. All such
residues must be transferred to an acceptable container.
If the unit is to be used solely for crushing empty paint cans, the catch basin does not need to be connected to
any container. However, a drip pan should be placed beneath it or the pipe drain fittings should be plugged. The
installation of the unit should provide for easy removal of the catch basin to remove inadvertent spills and
foreign material, which may accumulate in the catch basin.
Connect the air supply to the air inlet. The inlet connection is 1/4 FNPT. The unit is now ready for use.
Recommended operating air pressure is 100-PSI minimum for most paint cans and car and light truck filters.
Maximum recommended air pressure is 200 PSI.
If for any reason the unit does not operate properly after reviewing the steps above consult the Troubleshooting
section in this Owner’s Manual or call customer service at the numbers and address printed on the back cover of
this manual for further instructions and assistance. Please have the model number and serial number of your
crushing equipment available. The serial number is permanently stamped on the inside of the door.
