Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after each use: Wipe down the crusher’s contact surfaces (feeding chute, crushing plate, hinges) with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly to remove any sticky residue from cans.
-
Lubricate hinges and pivot points: Apply a food‑safe or general-purpose lubricant periodically to the hinge pins and moving joints so the crusher operates smoothly.
-
Inspect structural parts regularly: Check the wall‑mount bracket, mounting screws/bolts, and crushing plates for wear, cracks, or looseness — tighten or replace parts if needed to maintain safety and performance.
-
Avoid overloading: Only feed cans within the crusher’s specified size and thickness limits; over‑sized or heavily dented cans can stress the frame and damage the crusher.
-
Dry completely before storage: Ensure all parts are dry after cleaning to prevent corrosion on stainless‑steel components and hinge hardware.
-
Use on stable mount only: Always confirm that the crusher is properly secured to a stable wall or support before operation — loose mounts can cause uneven crushing or hazards.
