OPERATION
1
Turn the external air supply on.
2
Verify the pressure gauge on the pressure regulator/filter reads between 100 and 120 p.s.i. Adjust the
regulator as required.
NOTE:
If the external air supply is less than 100 p.s.i., the crusher will operate but the crushing performance
is reduced.
3
Lift the door latch and pull the door down to gain access to the crushing chamber.
4
Place one filter, vertically in chamber, open side down.
5
Close door and pull down latch handle. The crushing operation will start immediately.
6
Within 15-30 seconds, depending on filter size and weight, the filter will be crushed 70-79% of its original
size.
7
The regulator gauge will show when max pressure is reached. A few seconds at max pressure will give
maximum crush.
8
Lift door latch and open door.
9
Remove the crushed oil filter and dispose of it in an environmentally correct manner. NEVER REACH INSIDE
UNIT BEFORE RAM RETURNS TO THE TOP.
