MAINTENANCE Lock-Out & Tag-Out Instructions WARNING: This machine contains mul- tiple lockouts (1 for the AC circuit and 2 each for the DC circuits). All must be locked out before service or maintenance can be performed. Before entering any part of the compac- tor, be sure that all sources of energy have been shut off, all potential hazards have been eliminated, and the compactor is...
Page 17: Power Unit
HYDRAULIC: Stored hydraulic energy must be removed from the compactor hydraulic circuit for Solenoid Valve complete lock-out and tag-out. Make sure that this Valve Pin energy has been relieved by manually depressing the solenoid valve pin located in the center of the coil end of the directional control valve.
Page 18 Procedures for Hydraulic System Pressure Check Pressure Settings When the hydraulic cylinders used in the RamJet Self-Contained compactor are fully extended or retracted, they bypass internally. This makes it impossible for the hydraulic system to reach relief pressure. Follow the recommendations below for proper pressure setting.
Page 19: Principles Of Operation
Principles of Operation Standard System Operating Characteristics (1-1/2 HP) The system uses special cylinders to move the ram and a PLC (programmable logic controller) to control the operation of the ram. When the hydraulic cylin- ders used in the self-contained compactors are fully extended or retracted, they bypass internally.
Page 20 Tailgate Seal Replacement When the door/tailgate seal becomes damaged or worn, replace the seal. WARNING: For units with hydraulic tailgates, before performing any inspection or maintenance on the seal, support the raised tailgate with a crane, forklift, or other positive maintenance prop. •...

The components and assembly process for pole- mounted or wall-mounted stands may vary.
Page 45: Pole Mount Installation
Mounting the Solar Panel Stand NOTE: Before choosing where to mount the solar panel stand, read the “Orienta- tion of the Solar Panel” recommendations on the next page. The solar panel and stand can be mounted on either the top of the power unit, a wall, roof, or on a pole located within 100 feet of the power unit and connected to the solar charger controller with an S.O.
Page 46 Connecting and Orienting the Solar Panel After mounting the solar panel, connect the cord to the plug in on the power unit. Orientation of the Solar Panel In the northern hemisphere, it is best for the solar panels to face southward. In the southern hemisphere, it is best that they face northward.
