• Inspect the electric eye and reflector, as they may need to be cleaned and properly aligned.
• Check all electrical control items to make sure they are set properly.
• Turn on the compactor; the green light will go on.
• The sprinkler system into the compactor should be clean and not leaking. If it is, have it fixed.
