Gasoline Installation-STANDARD

18 H.P. Briggs & Stratton Vanguard with electric start. Electrical Installation: The TC-300 Electric requires a minimum of 50 AMP, 230 volt, 60 cycle at the machine. The TC-300 Electric is equipped with a 10 HP, 230/460 volt, 60 cycle standard.
Caution: Motor rotation must be clockwise when looking at the end of motor. If electric motor runs counter-clockwise. reverse the wires as indicated on the motor plate diagram

operating instuuctions

• Position TC-300 near tire and wheel supply to be crushed. Place front support jack in position. Crank jack to bring TC-300 main beam to approximate level position.

• Check to be sure breather is installed in top of hydraulic reservoir.

• Check engine for oil and fuel levels. Turn on fuel valve, start engine using manufacturers operating instructions.

• When crushing wheels, run engine at 3/4 open throttle.

• Place tire & wheel into the TC-300 crushing chamber. Place wheel with valve stem facing up. Center wheel over beam.
  NOTE: It is recommended that air be vented from tire.

• Position tire to the front against the crushing frame as shown.

• Operate Hydraulic valve handles. Pull valve handles towards operator to crush wheel. Push valve handles away from operator to return crushing wedge to starting position.

• This photo illustrates the wheel being partially crushed.

• This photo illustrates the wheel being fully crushed.

• Operate Hydraulic valve handles to return crushing wedge to the starting position.

• Slide the wheel and tire out of the TC-300 chamber.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Light Truck Tires

NOTE: The wheel & tire can be taken out of either side of the machine.

• This photo illustrates the wheel crushed and separated from the tire.

• Place tire & wheel into the TC-300 crushing chamber. Place wheel with valve stem facing up. Center wheel over beam.
  NOTE: It is recommended that air be vented from tire.

• Position tire to the front against the crushing frame as shown.

• This photo illustrates the wheel being fully crushed.

• Operate Hydraulic valve handles to return crushing wedge to the starting position.

• Slide the wheel and tire out of the TC-300 chamber.
  NOTE: The wheel & tire can be taken out of either side of the machine
  NOTE: If the light truck wheel is a lock ring style always place lock ring down against the beam

• This photo illustrates the wheel crushed and separated from the tire.

MAINTENANCE

• The Hour Meter indicates elapsed hours for proper engine maintenance service intervals.

• Periodically insert grease at the cylinder pivot.

• Before daily operation check all bolts for tightness on the movable wedge.

• This adjustment controls low to high-pressure shift points. If the motor bogs down-loosen lock nut & turn Allen screw counterclockwise 1/2 turn and retry

• Once every 6 months, remove wheels & hubs from axle and pack the wheel bearings with a wheel bearing grease.

• This photo illustrates the Oil filter location on the engine. Replace filter every 6 months for smooth engine operation
  NOTE: Review Engine Manufacturer’s manual for more info on servicing engines

• Every 6 months check battery condition

• This photo illustrates the adjustment location of the hydraulic pump pressure to the valve. The gauge should read 2800-3000 PSI when the ram is fully extended. To increase pressure, first remove large Hex nut. Then using a Hex Allen wrench-turn adjustment screw to the right 1/4 turn at a time & recheck until pressure is 2800-3000 PSI.

• Replace oil filer every 6 months. Use TSI PIN 10130E for the replacement element

• The crushing wedge has space wear bars on both the upper and lower slides. These wear bars may need adjusting. Loosen 6 upper and 6 lower cap screws and slide wear bars up to beam flange. Leave 1/32 clearance between beam and wear bar. If wear bars are worn too much, remove bars and turn side to side. This will give a new side to guide on. DO NOT ALLOW SLIDE BOLTS TO LOOSEN. KEEP BOLTS TIGHT TO 100 FT-LBS & ADJUST SLIDE PLATES IF NECESSARY.

• Check hydraulic oil reservoir level by viewing the sight glass. Oil level should be approximately 3″ -5″ from the top.
  NOTE: HYDRAULIC FLUID SHOULD BE DRAINED AND REFILLED EVERY 6 MONTHS. USE UNIVERSAL AUTOMATICTRANSMISSION FLUID-SAE 20 OR SAE 30

• If the valve “kicks out” on the arms return stroke, the detent will have to be tightened slightly. Loosen lock nut as shown. Tighten outer nut 1/4 turn and tighten lock nut. Continue to crush. If it “kicks out” again, readjust it another 1/4 turn.
