Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after each use: Wipe down the crush chamber, feed chute, plates, and all stainless‑steel surfaces with warm soapy water; remove any can residue or liquid remnants, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
-
Dry completely before storage: Ensure no moisture remains, especially on joints or hinges — this prevents rust and preserves stainless finish.
-
Lubricate moving parts periodically: Apply a food‑safe (or light machine‑grade) lubricant to hinge pins and joints so crushers open/close smoothly and don’t bind.
-
Inspect structural integrity: Regularly check mounting bolts, hinge pins, and crushing plates for wear, bending, or looseness; tighten or replace parts if any compromise appears.
-
Avoid overloading or oversized cans: Only crush cans within the recommended size and conditions — dented, over‑large, or overfilled cans can stress the mechanism and reduce lifespan.
-
Use a stable, secure mounting surface: Ensure the table or mount is sturdy and level; instability can cause mis‑alignment or damage during crushing.
