Motor Run Winding
1. Remove
the
blue wire from the start switch, and
the blue wires from the top limit switch and the
directional switch.
2. Connect an ohmmeter to the blue wire and
to the neutral side of the power cord. Proper
resistance is ~1.6 ohms. If the ohmmeter shows
an open circuit, either the run winding or the
motor protector is open and the motor must be
replaced.
Motor Centrifugal Switch
1. Disconnect the wires from the motor centrifugal
switch.
2. Connect an ohmmeter to the terminals.
3. The ohmmeter should read 1 ohm or less. If
the circuit is open, the motor switch is stuck or
burned, and the motor must be replaced.
Jammed Ram
1. Check for 120 Volts at the outlet.
2. If the drawer is open, push in on the drawer.
3. If the ram does not come up, unplug the
compactor.
a. Open motor rear cover plate.
b. Rotate the motor shaft in the counter-
clockwise direction, using a 1/4 in. hex
socket screw key (hex wrench) to make the
ram go up.
Chain Adjustment
There should be 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) to 1/2 in. (12.7 mm)

Lubrication
• Power
Screws: If needed, apply WC32X5004
grease to the Ram Screws.
• Drawer Slide Rollers: Apply WC01X10006
oil.
“Not Compacting” Complaints
• Low
Voltage: Check supply voltage with
the ram compacting trash. At 120 volts ram
force is approximately 2300 lbs. At voltage
lower than 120 volts ram force is reduced.
• Ram
Travel: Ram stops 7-1/2 in. (190 mm)
above the bottom of the container. No
noticeable compaction will occur until the
container is 1/2 full.
NOTE: For best compacting results, do not
overload the compactor container. Cycle the unit
frequently. No compaction will occur if too much

Overloading may exceed the crushing force of the
ram. A spongy trash load may prevent bottles from
breaking. Most, but not all, bottles in a trash load will
be broken.
