Special Notes

It is not necessary to replace motor.

Roller tracks should be kept clean to keep glass particles from wearing out rollers.

Apply Locktite® to threads.

Ram does not travel to bottom of drawer. Extends to 6" from bottom of basket. As more trash is deposited and unit is operated, compaction will take place.

Bottles and cans should be placed randomly in center of drawer. Cans and bottles neatly arranged are capable of supporting a tremendous amount of pressure.

See section on greasing mechanism.

Bag should be captured in “V” groove on right front of drawer.
