STEEL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 3-2

DOCK INSTALLATION

If the appropriate accessories are ordered from Marathon Equipment Co., the com- pactor/container will be furnished with either a four-sided hopper or a three-sided hop- per with a hinged gate. THESE ACCESSORIES SHOULD NOT BE ALTERED AS THEY ARE MANUFACTURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE STANDARDS WHICH PRE- VAIL AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE.

If the compactor/container cannot be directly abutted to the dock or if there is any differ- ence in height between the dock and the compactor/container, an appropriately sturdy transition section should be provided by the customer and securely affixed to the dock. Along with the transition section, a compactor/container guidance/stop mechanism should be installed to assure that the unit does not bottom out against the transition section or dock during dock placement (See ANSI Z245.2 Safety Standards). Optional container guides with stops are available from Marathon and are recommended for proper dock placement of the compactor/container.

CHUTE-FED INSTALLATION

Compactors installed in this arrangement are normally fed "through-the-wall". The lower edge of the access hole in the wall should be a MINIMUM of 42" (and, if possible, not more than 58") from the inside floor level. A security door (in accordance with local code) shouId be installed in the walI opening. In the absence of a local code, this door should be constructed of 3/16" thick steel or of steel hollow core design and be lockable from the inside of the building .

DECALS

Be certain that the appropriate decals are in their proper locations at all times on the machine. For decal locations, see “DECALS” and “DECAL PLACEMENT” in the Operation section of this manual.

NOTE: Installation is not complete until all decals are in place.
