Maintenance Manual
Hydraulic System:
The manufacturer recommends regular inspection of all hoses and visual inspection of hydraulic
components. All inspections must be done with compactor disabled. By doing so the user becomes more
familiar with the compactor, which in turn guarantees early detection of possible problems (E.g.: leaks).
While inspecting hoses look for cuts, abrasions and fluid. Look for leaks at and around the ‘power pack’,
at all hose connections and inside the rear of the compaction chamber. If any hydraulic fluid is visible,
the user should contact the manufacturer. The hydraulic fluid level in the power pack reservoir should be
maintained at 2” from the top of the tank, with the ram in the rear position. Only a qualified technician
should service any components in the hydraulic system.
Lockout Procedure:
NOTE: Only a qualified technician. Should perform work on electrical system The person working on
these machines should turn the machine off with the stop button. To turn off and lockout the power
supply, follow the electrical supply cord from the machine to the disconnect box on the wall. This box
should be located within 30 feet of the machine. Pull the handle down or turn the switch to the “off”
position to shut off the electricity. Put a padlock through the holes of the handle or switch and lock it so
that it cannot be turned on without removing the lock. Only the person locking out the machine should
have a key for the padlock. If more than one person is involved, the person who disconnected and locked
out the power supply should communicate the purpose and status of the disconnecting and locking out.
A non-conducting tag secured in a conspicuous location may serve this purpose. For more guidelines
concerning this procedure, refer to the “Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations for
Industrial Establishments” section
