MANUAL OVERRIDE OPERATION
As the automated crushing operation for the SSD anvil requires it to perform a complete cycle before stopping,
a manual override method is acceptable for crushing SSD material in order to save the time wasted by allowing
the anvil to return to its resting position.
1. Insert material as shown above.
2. Press the green “RUN” push button and allow anvil to perform a normal operation.
3. After hearing the click, wait for the anvil to provide enough space to fit another piece, approximately
½”, and push the red “STOP” pushbutton, noting that the anvil will move downward a little bit after
hitting stop.
4. Open the door and remove the destroyed media.
Note: Gloves are recommended for this operation as the anvil has many sharp tines and the crushed
material may also be sharp.
5. Put another piece in the crushing chamber and close the door.
6. Push the green “RUN” pushbutton, and repeat.
Note: If the access door is opened during the crushing cycle, the piston will stop moving. When the access
door is reclosed, the operator will need to press the “RUN” or “STOP” button to restart the crushing cycle.
Warning: After each cycle the processed SSD media must be removed from the chamber. Sometimes the
media will stick to the anvil. Use a small regular screwdriver to separate the media from the anvil. Stacking
pieces of media for destruction, or failure to remove media after processing can damage the machine and will
void the warranty.
OVERLOADING
Should too much material be fed into the system, the high-pressure switch will engage and send the piston back
to the start position. Note: if this happens, the system would have not made a full cycle. As such, the hard drive
may need to be sent through again.
This may happen when crushing the 1.85 inch hard drive. You may want to remove and rotate the drive
by 180° and send it thru for another cycle.
