GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualied electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.

introDuction
This manual describes the operational features for the BDS model Bottle Disintegration System. Please review
this information before attempting installation and operations. Long term, trouble-free operations will follow if
good housekeeping and maintenance procedures are followed. Thank you for selecting Glastender, Inc. products.
What is a Bottle Disintegration system?
It is simply a piece of machinery that crushes or breaks down glass bottles, reducing the area needed to store
empty containers and minimizing the volume for disposal purposes. When the ON/OFF switch is on, a motor
will run causing the crusher bar to spin rapidly. Glass bottles are introduced into the machine through the bottle
chute. When they come in contact with the crusher bar, they are reduced to small pieces of glass called cullet.
The cullet falls down the drum and into the bucket in the bottom enclosure of the machine.
For the machine to function normally:
• The bucket must be in place and seated fully in the unit
• The door must be closed
• The covers must be in place
• The crusher bar must be spinning at top speed (allow a minimum of 3 seconds before inserting a bottle)
