1.SUSTAINED MANUAL PRESSURE CONTROL BUTTON (Hold-To-Run, Release- To-Stop) - This option requires the compactor operator to remain at the push button station while the compactor is in use. Actuation requires depressing the "Hold-To- Run" and "Start" buttons. After the unit has started, the "Start" button is released. If the "Hold-To-Run" button is released, the unit will stop instantly.
2.CONTAINER FULL LIGHT - When the light is on, the container is full and is ready to be emptied before its next use. To deactivate the light, depress the illuminated emergency stop button. (The unit will not run while the light is on.)
3.ADVANCE WARNING LIGHT - When the light is on, the container is nearing the full level and a pick up call should be made. At this time 200 PSI is left before the pressure switch is activated to shut the unit off and container is full. (Unit will run with light on.)
4.RAM STOP FORWARD - When a machine with this option has been stopped, the ram automatically begins to move rearward when restarted.
For the RJ-88SC, RJ-100SC, or RJ-250SC, to move the ram forward (when it is stopped), hold the FORWARD button down, turn the key switch clockwise, depress and release the key switch, then release the FORWARD button. To reverse the ram while it is moving forward, depress the key switch. To cause the ram to move forward while it is moving rearward, press the FORWARD button.
For the RJ-250VL, to move the ram forward (when it is stopped), hold the FORWARD button down, turn and release the key switch, then release the FORWARD button. To reverse the ram while it is moving forward, turn and release the key switch. To cause the ram to move forward while it is moving rearward, press the FORWARD button.
