Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your compactor, adjust the handle hooks to align with the rim width of your specific wheelie bin model. Ensure the device is centered before applying pressure to prevent uneven force distribution. For long-term care, store the unit in a dry location such as a garage or garden shed to prevent moisture exposure. Keep the compression plate clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth after use if it comes into contact with garden soil or wet refuse. Regularly check the adjustment points to ensure the hooks remain securely tightened.
