How The Compactor Works
Bottles or cans not placed in the center
may become caught between the ram
and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor
Switch senses a “misload” and causes
the ram to return to the “up” position
without compacting. Load bulky trash,
bottles and cans in the center of the
drawer.
When operating, the compacting ram
does not go all the way to the drawer
bottom. You will not see compacting of
the first few loadings.
Compaction starts after the drawer is
about l/3 full. You may hear a noise
when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles
may not break at all. The trash in a full
compactor bag will be about l/4 the size
of its original bulk.
