Authorized ser - vice personnel should be allowed inside the panel only after the compactor has been locked-out and tagged- out.
Check external hoses for chafing, rubbing, or other deterioration and damage. Check for any obvious unsafe conditions in the compactor area. Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir. Level should be 3/4 of sight gauge. Clean out or wash out debris from behind compactor ram.
When the hydraulic cylinders used in the RJ-88SC, RJ-100SC, RJ-250SC, and RJ- 250VL are fully extended or retracted, they bypass internally. This makes it impossi - ble for the hydraulic system to reach relief pressure. Follow the recommendations below for proper pressure setting.

MULTI-CYCLE TIMER ADJUSTMENT - OPTION Determine the cycle time of your machine. This can be found in the CHARTS section of this manual under TIMER SETTINGS. Next multiply the cycle time by the number of cycles the machine should run and subtract one fourth of the cycle time.
STANDARD SYSTEM OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS, 5 hp & 10 hp The system uses special cylinders to move the ram and two timers to control the opera - tion of the ram. When the hydraulic cylinders used in the RJ-88SC, RJ-100SC, RJ- 250SC, and RJ-250VL are fully extended or retracted, they bypass internally.
