INSTALLATION

LOCATION AND INSTALLATION.

Locate the crusher in a suitable place indoors on a firm and level surface.

FITTING PIPES.

The pipes are a simple push fit and should be configured as in Fig.1 ensuring the pipes are fully inserted.

REGULATOR.

Use the large nut to attach the regulator to the body and insert the pipe as in Fig.1.

FITTING DOOR HANDLE

Place the handle shaft through the door from the outside and secure it with a nylon washer and nut (Fig.1a).

Note

Place the washer and door catch on the end of the door handle shaft and secure with the screw (Fig.1b).

AIR SUPPLY

Connect the air supply to the air inlet situated on the regulator.
The inlet connection is 1/4” BSP.
The recommended air hook-up procedure is shown in Fig.2.
You will require a minimum air pressure of 100psi.
Drain the air tank daily. Water in the airline will damage the ram.
Clean compressor air inlet weekly.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 meters).
Keep the hose away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Check the hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
The paint can crusher is now ready for use.

OPERATION

Close the door ensuring the lock is fully engaged. (The crusher will not function until the door is firmly closed).
Turn the control lever (Fig.3) to the ‘DOWN’ position and the piston will descend.
When the red line on the indicating rod (Fig.3) is level with the main body the can is crushed. You can also listen for the air to stop flowing (approx 20 seconds).
Turn the control lever to the ‘UP’ position, when the piston has returned to the start position move the control lever back to the center ‘STOP’ position.
Open the door and remove the crushed can.
Note: You may crush several cans at the same time provided they are all a similar height and providing you have adequate air pressure. It is necessary to remove the catch basin and clean it periodically. Dispose of solid residue according to local authority guidelines. Leave the door ajar when not in use.
Tip: Crease the can with your fingers before putting in the crusher.
This will enable faster crushing and place less strain on the crusher.
