NOTE: An unlatched drawer can cause the drawer monitor 

switch to stay open. This will make the ram return and the 

compactor will continue to run. Attempt to push the drawer 

inwards to stop the compactor. The continuous running of the 

compactor can also be attributed to debris in the drawer area.  

If it is difficult to open or close the drawer this may be due  

to either the drawer latch not being locked or debris in the 

drawer area.
1.  Place folded bag into the drawer. Open bag and pull top 

edges over the drawer top.

2.  Lock bag in place by pulling the four pre-punched holes over 

the bag retainer buttons. Holes will expand over the buttons 

without damaging the bag.

3.  Press inside of bag against the drawer bottom, sides and 

corners for a smooth fit.

NOTE: The ram can and will tear improperly installed bags.
