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.

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 .
