SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS UNPLUG COMPACTOR FROM WALL OUTLET
BEFORE SERVICING.
The service information is intended for use by a service technician who is familiar with proper and safe procedures to be followed when repairing electrical appliances and who is equipped
with proper tools and testing devices. Repairs attempted or made
improperly can result in personal injury or property damage. Hazards may develop from improper assembly or adjustments. While
making repairs, persons not having the proper background may
subject themselves to the risk of injury or electrical shock which
can be serious or even fatal.
IMPORTANT - NOTE TO THE CONSUMER
If you perform service on your own Broan products, you must
assume responsibility for personal injury or property damage
which may result.
BAG INSTALLATION
DO NOT use plastic bags other than those which have been designed for use in this compactor. Unauthorized bags can become caught in the mechanism.
With the drawer extended to the second stop, release the container latch and swing open door. Slide bag into drawer from
front to back. Fold bag over top rim of drawer on all sides.
PREPUNCHED HOLES
Press bag into all corners of the drawer. Smooth and shape the
bag carefully - this will prevent the bag from being torn by the
ram during compaction.
MODEL AND SERIAL NO.
IDENTIFICATION
The specification label with model and serial numbers is located
on the inside of the cabinet. It is visible after opening the drawer.
TRANSPORTING COMPACTOR
When transporting compactor, the ram should be electrically or
manually extended down into the drawer, preferably against a
load of stacked newspapers or other suitable material. If this is
not done, damage to the trunnion nut may occur.
Never transport compactor on its back or front. Damage to the
gearbox may occur. If it cannot be transported upright, it is preferable to place it on its side.
MANUAL RAISING AND LOWERING OF RAM
Unplug compactor cord from wall socket. Remove back panel.
The ram may be raised or lowered manually by using a 15/16"
socket to turn the drive screw nut. Clockwise will lower ram,
counterclockwise will raise it.
15/16”
SOCKET
DRAWER BUTTONS
Using buttons on side of drawer, button bag in place by using
prepunched holes in side of bag. NOTE: If you have difficulty
installing bag, move drawer to second stop by lifting front of
drawer slightly and pulling forward (place on rug or other surface to protect floor). This
will clear back of container from housing for easier bag installation.
“V” GROOVE
Swing door shut and latch
it. Bag is locked between
door flange and drawer.
When door is closed and
latched properly, door
guide “V” will be snug in
“V” groove in drawer
flange. Bag should be captured in “V” guide. Failure
to align “V” properly or to
latch drawer to door will
cause the compactor to
function improperly.

2. Pull out trunnion bearing.
Grease trunnion bearing inside and out with wheel bearing grease
prior to reinstalling.
MOTOR TRUNNION
1. Remove motor, gearbox, spocket, and screw guard.
2. Use 13/16" wrench to remove bolts securing links to motor
trunnion.
When reinstalling, bolts should be torqued to 45 foot pounds.
SPROCKET
1. Line up one of the 3/8" holes in the sprocket with the 3/8"
hole in bottom center of gearbox. Insert 3/8" steel pin or bolt
through sprocket hole into front and rear gearbox holes.*
2. Loosen and remove 15/16" nut on the drive screw. When
reinstalling torque to 65 foot pounds and apply Locktite® to
threads.
*If the sprocket is
too damaged to be
able to use on of the
holes to secure it,
chip away the remaining sprocket, remove the drive pin
and then insert a
screwdriver through
the hole to provide a
means of keeping the
drive screw from
turning.

GEARBOX
1. Lower ram manually until there is approximately 11" to 12"
between the ram and the bottom assembly.
2. Remove the four 3/8" nuts securing motor to gearbox, slide
motor out and rest it on the front trunnion assembly.
3. Turn sprocket until two holes in sprocket line up with the two
socket head cap screws that hold the gearbox to the motor
trunnion.
4. Remove the two socket head cap screws with a 5/32" hex key.
NOTE: The screws thread into 2 nuts which rest in slots in the
motor trunnion. Be careful not to lose the 2 nuts when the
screws are removed.
5. Tilt gearbox forward and remove chain. Lift gearbox out.
When installing gearbox, Locktite® should be applied to the socket
head cap screw nuts.
5/32”
HEX KEY
CHAIN
1. Turn sprocket until two holes in sprocket line up with socket
head cap screws.
2. Remove socket head cap screws and tip gearbox/motor assembly to remove chain. NOTE: The screws thread into 2
nuts which rest in slots in the motor trunnion. Be careful not
to lose the 2 nuts when the screws are removed.
When reinstalling socket head cap screws, be sure Locktite® is
applied to the nuts.
Chain Derailment: Loose chains. Sometimes a chain will derail
because trash which flew up above the ram during compacting
fouled the chain. Newspaper or a paper bag should be placed on
top of glass bottles before compacting to prevent this.
If continual derailment of the chain is a problem, inspect both
sprockets for worn or missing
teeth. Inspect gearbox mounting and mounting plate. If the
mounting screws are loose,
gearbox movement may be the
cause. If the gearbox mounting
plate is bent where it meets the
motor trunnion, either straighten or replace the gearbox.
Some chain looseness is normal and may increase as the
compactor is used. Seldom
does the chain “stretch” to the
point where it is too loose.
GREASING COMPACTOR
MECHANISM
1. Unplug compactor from wall outlet.
2. Remove drawer assembly from compactor.
3. Remove back of compactor and lower mechanism manually
by turning 15/16" nut on sprocket clockwise.
4. Line up one of the holes in the black sprocket with the hole in
the gearbox. Insert a 3/8" bolt or pin to keep sprocket from
turning and remove the 15/16" nut.
5. Slide off sprocket and washer.
6. Drive out the drive pin, slide off thin washer and pull out
trunnion bearing.
7. Grease trunnion bearing everywhere, inside and out, with
