The key lock switch on your compactor is provided for
your protection as a safety measure.
When the key lock switch is in the “OFF”
and “LOCK” positions, the compactor
will not operate. Remove the key to
keep children from operating the unit or
to prevent anyone from tampering with
it.
When the key lock switch is in the “ON”
position, the compactor is ready for
operation. The key cannot be removed
when in the “ON” position.
NOTE: Opening the door during operation will stop the
unit. If the compactor is stopped during its cycle, it will
always move back UP when the door is closed.
Preparation
Your Compactor is equipped with an odor control disk
that will last up to six months when installed in the trash
compactor. The odor disk comes packaged in a foil
pouch and is activated once the pouch is opened. The
compactor has an electronic control that automatically
advances the odor disk every 30 days until 6 months
have expired.
Optional – You may write dates on the odor disk labels in
this manner:
• When pouch is opened, write the “Activation Date” on top of disk
in space provided.
• Write dates on the GREEN month indicator labels in this manner:
Month 1 Label “Advance Date” = 1 month from “Activation Date”
Month 2 Label “Advance Date” = 2 months from “Activation Date”
Month 3 Label “Advance Date” = 3 months from “Activation Date”
Month 4 Label “Advance Date” = 4 months from “Activation Date”
Month 5 Label “Advance Date” = 5 months from “Activation Date”
• Write date on the RED month indicator label in this manner:
Month 6 Label “Replacement Date” = 6 months from “Activation
Date”
Caution: The odor control disk contains material that
may cause moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with
eyes. Harmful if swallowed. Wash skin or clothing
thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Do not
reuse empty foil pouch.
With the door open
and the trash bucket
extended to the furthest
position, place a bag into
the bucket. Fold the bag
over the top rim of the
bucket, on all sides.
Press the bag into all
corners of the bucket
and smooth the bottom.
Smooth and shape the
bag carefully - this will
prevent the bag from
being torn by the ram
during compaction.
Secure the bag in place
over the 2 buttons
on each side of the
bucket. The bag has
prepunched slots for
this purpose.
