If You Need Service Or Assistance
We suggest you follow these
steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any
kind.
If your compactor won’t operate:
l
Is the power cord plugged into a live circuit with
the proper voltage?
l
Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l
Is the drawer completely closed?
l
Is the key-knob turned all the way to START
before it is released?
Drawer won’t open:
l
Drawer will open only when ram is all the way up.
l
To raise the ram, turn the key-knob to START
and release or move the DENSE PACK switch
back to NORMAL (TU8100 and TF8600 series
only).
If trash is not compacting:
l
Is the drawer loaded properly? If anything gets
between the ram and the drawer, the ram will
return to the “up” position, without compacting.
l
Drawer must be at least l/3 full before compactor
will compact.
Not enough compaction or force:
l
Compacting works best when only a few items
are loaded. Use the compacting cycle frequently.
DENSE PACK can be used on TU8100 and
TF8600 series compactors. Bee page 5.
Bottles don’t break:
l
Not all bottles will break every time, depending on
the bottle and the trash load below it.
