WHAT TO DO
• Make sure the cord is plugged securely into
a working outlet.
• Check house circuit breakers /fuses.
Replace fuses or reset breaker.
• Make sure the switch is in the ON position.
• Foot pedal may not have been lifted up
long enough to start the compaction cycle.
• Check to make sure the drawer is firmly
closed.
• If you have just compacted repeatedly,
this protector may have opened the motor
circuit. Wait a few minutes and the motor
reset will reclose automatically.
• Remove any trash.
• Lift up on the foot pedal and release to
allow ram to complete a cycle.
• The drawer must be at least 1/2 full of
trash before you will see any amount of
compacting. The ram does not travel all the
way to the bottom. Trash in the bottom of
the drawer will be crushed during later
cycles.
• Remove any trash.
