2.5.3 Cleaning
A good cleaning of the machine increases durability and safety. Therefore, keep all surfaces clean, remove
dirt, oil-spills and other remains.
2.5.4 Environmental protection
Hazardous waste, such as rubber, oil and other materials that could harm the environment, must be dis-
posed at approved disposal centres.
2.6 BREAK-IN PERIOD
Check Check points
Do not run compactor at maximum capacity the first 25 hours of operation
Be observant – monitor that functions are working correctly.
Check for abnormal sounds from the machinery
Fine tune the process to be carried out so that the compactor can reach maximum capacity,
based on material being baled.
All bearings have a visible grease collar. Figure 2.3
No visible grease on the relief valve on the grease pump.
Precautions: A new compactor must go through a break-in in period. It shouldn’t be run at maximum capa-
city at the first 25 hours of operation. The operator must be observant, monitoring that all functions are
working correctly, and being aware of abnormal sounds from the machinery. Fine tuning of the process
must be carried out, until the compactor has reached its optimum capacity, based on the material being
baled.

Grease collar on bearings/bushings
NOTE: Slide bearing clearance is tight when the machine is new, and could lead to increased temperature in the
bearings. The slide bearings must be checked frequently during the break-in period. If the temperature is rising
in some of the bearings, activate the manual greaser from the control panel to increase the amount of grease
supplied to bearings.
