3. ASSEMBLY
WARNING! The unit is very heavy and should only be moved with a
crane or forklift truck.
3.1 Location and Assembly
Locate the crusher in a suitable place indoors on firm and level
concrete.
3.1.1 Firstly the stand must be assembled. Attach the two legs (Fig.1C) to
the cross beam (Fig.1E) using two bolts washers and nuts either side.
Ensure that upright supports (Fig.1B) are secured with the far nut
(Fig.1D) on each leg.
3.1.2 Place the upright on the crossbeam (Fig.1E) aligning with the
pre-drilled holes. Ensuring it is the correct way around with the lip over
the back of the cross beam. Secure with two bolts, washers and nuts
vertically through the cross beam and two horizontally through the lip
of the upright.
3.1.3 Secure the upright supports (Fig.1B) already attached to the legs (Fig.1D), to the upright using a bolt, nut and washer part way up the
upright (not in picture).
3.1.4 The unit must be bolted to the floor with four 1/2" anchor bolts, one at each end of the legs. This must be before the crushing unit is secured.
3.1.5 A fork lift truck or suitable crane should be used to raise the unit to its operational position. Remove the large nut and bolt from upper part of
the upright. Slide the mounting collars on the back of the crushing module onto the upright and align the holes in the upper collar with the
holes in the upright and insert the large bolt and secure with the nut provided.
3.1.6 The oil collection tray has a 1/2” hose adaptor on its underside so the unit can be plumbed into a remote waste oil container.

3.2. Air Supply.
Connect the air supply to the air inlet on the air regulatoe mounted on the
right hand side of the unit adjacent to the door handle. The inlet connection
is 1/4”FNPT.
The recommended air hook-up procedure is shown in Fig.2
3.2.1 You will require a minimum air pressure of 100psi.
3.2.2 WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 190psi whilst
operating the filter crusher. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will
shorten the product life, and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or
personal injury.
3.2.3 Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the ram.
3.2.4 Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.
3.2.5 Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
