INTROD CTION
he purpose of this manual is to provide you with the
information necessary to use your compactor, and to
perform routine maintenance and trouble-shooting. Years of
experience are behind the design and construction of the
compactor’s structure and hydraulic and electrical systems,
making your Summit compactor one of the most reliable units
available.
Following the guidelines presented in this manual will help
ensure that you get many years of performance out of your
compactor with a minimum of downtime.
Detailed drawings of the construction and design of the
compactor are not included in the manual. If you need
service or repair that is not covered in this manual, please
contact a competent repair service or the factory. Never
modify your compactor without consultation with the factory,
or you will risk compromising safety and / or performance.
Safety is one of our biggest concerns at Summit. We have built
your compactor in compliance with current safety standards.
However, no safety features will protect an operator who is
untrained or unwilling to follow safe operating instructions.
Safety and training are ultimately the responsibility of the
owner of the compactor. Please be sure that no one ever
operates the compactor without first reading this manual
completely and carefully. Strict adherence to safety
requirements will help ensure the safety of operators and the
life and performance of the compactor.

Do not perform service or maintenance on the compactor or
remove any of its covers or panels until you are sure none of its
parts can move, even inadvertently.
Before doin any work on the compactor, use its key to switch it
to its “OFF” position, keep the key with you, and disable the
compactor as follows:

DISABLING the EQUIPMENT
Disconnect power to the equipment at the master
disconnect y switching it to its “OFF” position. Lock
the switch in its “OFF” position with a lock for which
only you have a key, and keep the key(s) with you.
Each individual working on the equipment must put
their own lock on the master power disconnect to
prevent the power from eing switched ack on y
someone else when they are finished with their part of
the work.

(Safety Guidelines, general, continued)
Even after the electrical power is removed, remove residual
hydraulic pressure before ettin in the path of any movin parts
or disconnectin any hoses or connections.
Never work or reach inside of uards unless the compactor is
completely disabled, as set forth above

.
Even when the compactor is “OFF”, remember that it works by
hi hly pressurized hydraulic fluid, and that hydraulic systems
can retain pressure after electrical power is removed. Therefore,
slowly bleed away any residual hydraulic pressure that may
remain in the lines before removin covers or enterin any part
of the compactor or ettin in the path of movin parts, and
before disconnectin any hydraulic lines or fittin s.
Hydraulic oil is extremely slippery. Never remove any hydraulic
lines or fittin s until you have a enerous supply of “floor-dry”
available to maintain a clean, dry floor area. If there are leaks in
the hydraulic system, immediately correct them and clean up
any spilled oil.
Hydraulic oil also can operate at hi h temperatures. Be careful of
contact with hoses, fittin s, and other hydraulic components.
Always wear any safety equipment specified by the mana ement
responsible for the compactor.

CLEANLINESS
CLEANLINESSCLEANLINESS
CLEANLINESS
Many compactor installations are dirty or dusty. The compactor
and its surroundin s should be kept as clean as the environment
will reasonably allow.
Clean arba e, trash, or other spilla e from in and around the
compactor.
Oil, dirt, and even lint coatin the surfaces of hydraulic
components will act as insulation, and encoura e heat build-up.
Cleanin the exposed surfaces of hydraulic tanks and hoses will
improve the radiant coolin capacity of the hydraulic system.
Remove oil spills or leaka e immediately, and correct the cause
of the problem.
HYDRAULICS
HYDRAULICSHYDRAULICS
HYDRAULICS
Hydraulic fluid is the life-blood of the system. At least 70% of all
hydraulic system problems are hydraulic fluid problems. If you
keep the fluid in ood condition, you’ll prevent most hydraulic
trouble.
Make sure the fluid is visible at least half-way up the si ht lass
(if so equipped) or at the correct mark on the dipstick when the
cylinders are in their fully retracted position. If fluid level drops,
there is probably a leak, because fluid has nowhere to o unless
there is a leak.
Vibration can loosen fittin s and cause small leaks to develop.
Re ularly inspect hydraulic lines, hoses, and fittin s for leaks or
wear. This will help prevent a small leak from rowin into a
lar e leak.

PO Box 1847, Post Falls, ID 83877-1847 • T [phone] • F 773-3799 • E <Co [e-mail]>

(Routine Preventative Maintenance, continued)
Use only approved fluid, Chevron AW-MV, Texaco Z-36, or
equivalent.
Contaminants in the hydraulic oil will reatly accelerate wear on
expensive components of the hydraulic system (cylinder, pump,
valves, etc.). At least once per year or every 4,000 operatin
hours, whichever comes first, the air vent filler/breather should
be cleaned. In particularly dirty or windy environments, this
cleanin should be more frequent. Fluid should appear a normal
motor oil color. If it is very dark in color, it may be contaminated
or deteriorated. There are hydraulic oil testin services that can
determine whether your fluid is in ood condition. Usin such a
service each time the filler/breather is cleaned / replaced is a
wise preventative measure.
Check oil temperature after the compactor has been operated for
a couple of hours of its normal daily shift. If you think the oil is
becomin too hot, consult competent service personnel to verify
temperature; it should not re ularly exceed 150°.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE RECORDS
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE RECORDSINSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE RECORDS
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE RECORDS
Those who own and mana e the operation of the compactor are
responsible for establishin and maintainin a pro ram of
re ular inspection and service, to ensure that all parts of the
compactor continue to function as desi ned, to ensure that all
safety devices remain in place and functional, and to ensure that
safe practices are bein followed. Records should be kept of all
re ular inspections and service or maintenance work performed
on the compactor.
In addition to the specific inspection and maintenance areas
mentioned above, there is another ood habit found amon those
who traditionally et lon life and performance out of their
equipment. That habit involves a simple “walk-around”
inspection. It is the recommendation of the factory that, on a
re ular basis, someone makes a careful walk-around inspection
of the compactor and the power unit. This will alert you to
potential problems early, before they become hazards to safety or
to the performance and lon life of the compactor.
