Ram Screw Assembly
reMoVe aND repLaCe
The ram screw assemblies transfer power to the ram
and plate. Heavy usage can damage the threaded rod.
If it becomes necessary to replace one or both of the
ram screw assemblies, follow the instructions below.
1. Remove cabinet cover (see Electrical Components,
Access to Components).
2. Remove the drive belt (see Drive Belt, Remove and
Re-install).
3. Remove drive wheels (see Drive Wheels, Remove
and Replace).
4. Remove the compaction plate by releasing the tab
on the front of the ram, and pulling the plate down
and away from the ram. Note: When re-installing the
plate, insert the rear tab into the slot at the rear of
the ram, then press up on the front of the plate until
it latches securely in place.
5. Remove the four hex head screws and the ram from
the bottom of the ram screw assembly.
