The initial crush of the oil filter(s) will cause the unit to move or jump if not secured properly. relief valve that will bleed off air if the unit is inadvertently connected to an air source greater than 125 p. s. i. Connect the supplied pressure regulator/filter to the crusher 3/8" NPT air inlet fitting. Place a waste oil collection receptacle underneath the waste oil port. Waste oil drain fitting Filter/Regulator 1/2" Floor anchor Page 4 of 8 INSPECTION Prior to operation a visual Inspection shall be made. Any crusher that appears to be damaged in any way, is badly worn or operates abnormally shall be removed from use until repairs are made. If over pressurizing of the equipment is believed to have occurred, contact a factory authorized service center for inspection of the crusher. An annual inspection by a factory authorized service center is recommended. Verify the pressure gauge on the pressure regulator/filter reads between 100 and 120 p. s. i. NOTE: If the external air supply is less than 100 p. s. i. , the crusher will operate but the crushing performance is reduced. Lift the door latch and pull the door down to gain access to the crushing chamber. Place the oil filter(s) to be crushed gasket side down on the bottom of the crushing chamber. [. . . ] Regularly check the waste oil drain line system to prevent oil backing up in the crusher chamber.
