INSTALLATION 

Installation consists of anchoring the unit 
to the floor, connecting an external air
supply with 100 to 120 p.s.i. and routing
the waste oil drain to a suitable waste oil
reservoir.

DO NOT attempt to operate the unit while

on a skid. The initial crush of the oil
filter(s) will cause the unit to move or jump
if not secured properly. The crusher must be 
anchored to the floor before operating.
The unit is equipped with a 125 p.s.i. relief 
valve that will bleed off air if the unit is 
inadvertently connected to an air source 
greater than 125 p.s.i.

Install the crusher as follows (See Figure 1). 
 
A. Anchor the unit to the floor using
    1/2" diameter hardware.

B. Connect the supplied pressure
     regulator/filter to the crusher 3/8"
     NPT air inlet fitting.

C. Connect the external air supply to
     the pressure regulator/filter.

D. Place a waste oil collection

  receptacle underneath the waste
  oil port.
