Ensure that all employees involved in the operation of this crusher understand and follow these instructions!
The standard model pail crusher is suitable for use indoors in most non-classified industrial and commercial
locations. It is intended to be used to crush empty metal and fiber pails measuring up to 17½” high and 12½” in
diameter.
[Notes re: applications involving static, temperature (esp. extremes), washdown, classified areas, etc.?]
Loading:
Warning: Do not attempt to crush sealed pails or pails that are not completely empty.
Note: The original contents of the pail must be taken into account to ensure that a hazardous or unhealthy condition
will not be created (from airborne dust and vapors, etc.) when it is crushed.
Place an empty, unsealed pail on the floor of the cabinet. Center the pail so that there is a gap all the way around
the pail to allow for the pail’s diameter to increase as it crushes.
Operation:
Warning: The cabinet door must be closed and securely latched before cycling. Injury to personnel or permanent
damage to the pail crusher could result from operating it with the cabinet door unsecured.
Caution: Keep personnel away from the front of the machine when it is in operation.
Press and release the “CYCLE START” pushbutton. The motor will turn on and the crushing platen will lower to crush
the pail. When the pail is flattened, the platen will automatically raise back to the top of the cabinet and the crusher
will turn off.
Open the door and remove the crushed pail.
Warning: Do not attempt to open the cabinet door when the crusher is in operation.
Caution: Never use the pail crusher if any damage or unusual noise is observed, if it is in need of repairs, or if it seems
to be malfunctioning. Notify your supervisor or maintenance personnel if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
Ensure that all information/safety/warning labels stay in place and are legible. Refer to the labels page in this
manual.
