3. Product Information
CleanCUBE is a solar-powered waste bin that uses an automatic on-site compactor to
increase its waste capacity by up to 500%. By utilizing intelligent sensors, CleanCUBE
monitors waste fill-level and operational status and provides this information to the user
through CleanCityNetworks (CCN).

3.2 Safety and Protection Features
CleanCUBE is designed with several safety features to protect the user and service personnel
while using the product. These safety features are:
• Safety sensors on both sides of the aperture: these sensors detect objects or hands passing
through the bin’s aperture and immediately halt the compaction to prevent injury.
• Smoke detection sensor: this sensor detects smoke inside the product. When in action, a compaction
is automatically performed to suppress the fire and a notification is sent out via CCN.
• Door sensor: this sensor detects whether the front door is open or closed. To prevent injury, the
compaction is stopped immediately if the door is opened during a compaction cycle. If it detects that
the door is open for longer than a set time, the compactor retracts to its original position.
• Door and top cover locking device: there are locking devices on the door and top cover, which only
authorized personnel can access. We provide a locking device with a key or bolt depending on the
product.
• GPS module: The GPS module can track the location of the unit and provide the unit’s GPS
coordinates with a certain degree of precision. The user can then identify the unit’s location through
CCN.
3.3 Product Status Indicator
The indicator shows the product’s approximate fill-level and operational status.
The indicator light reflects the fill-level measured right after a compaction.
Depending on the type of waste and how it rebounds upward after being
compressed, there may be a discrepancy between the visual fill-level and the fill-
level indicated by the flashing light.

(fast flashing)

Orange Medium fill-level Door open
Red High fill-level Smoke detected

4. Transportation and Selection of Installation Site
4.1 Initial Inspection
Upon receiving your CleanCUBE, perform a visual inspection of the packaging before
accepting the delivery from the shipping company. If the packaging appears to be damaged
or in poor condition, unpack the unit and inspect it for possible damages in front of a
representative from the shipping company.
If there is any visible damage, mark “damaged” on the freight receipt and save an image or
a video of the damage. After inspecting the unit, check to see if all parts and components
have been delivered with the unit.
4.2 Transportation
You can use a forklift (if the unit is on a pallet) or a hand truck to move the CleanCUBE to
its required installation location. If the CleanCUBE is delivered on a pallet, use a forklift to
move it to the installation location. When using a forklift, make sure to adjust the forks so
that they are as wide as possible while on the pallet. To ensure the safety of the unit during
delivery, refer to the following directions:
The product must be carried by at least 2 people. Due to the nature of the
product – center of mass is relatively high – a small tilt can lead to a tipping-over
incident. Please pay close attention.

• Ensure that the forks are placed fully through the pallet before lifting.
• After lifting the unit, do not make any sudden movements that may cause the unit to fall off the
forklift.
• After transporting the unit to the designated location, gradually lower the unit to the ground.
If the CleanCUBE is not on a pallet, it is recommended to transport the unit using a hand
truck. Given the weight of the CleanCUBE, make sure that only hand trucks with load
capacities of at least 330 kilograms (or 728 lbs) and equipped with safety straps are used in
the transportation of the unit. To ensure the safety of the unit during delivery, refer to the
following directions:
• If the original protective shell has been removed from the unit, cover the unit with protective padding
or material before transporting it. This will prevent any scratches or other physical damages that may
occur while transporting the unit.
• Make sure that the load plate of the hand truck is entirely placed under the base of the unit before
lifting.
• Place the hand truck’s safety straps around the circumference of the unit. The straps should be
around the bin aperture.
• Tighten the safety straps until the unit is properly secured onto the hand truck.
• Use wheel chocks to prevent accidental movements of the hand truck.
• After transporting the unit to the designated location, gradually lower the unit to the ground.

4.3 Selection of Installation Site
To facilitate installation and minimize installation time, we recommended selecting a site for
the unit before its installation. When selecting a site, consider the following factors for the
unit’s optimal performance:
• Select an open site such that sunlight can hit directly above the unit. There should be no obstructions
that would prevent the unit from receiving sunlight.
• The unit should be installed on solid ground such as concrete, cement, wood, etc.
• Adjust the unit’s adjustable feet so that the unit is perpendicular to the ground.
• The front of the unit should have adequate space of at least one meter so that both waste collection
and unit maintenance can be performed.
• Do not select an indoor installation site unless the unit is a hybrid or AC model.
• The battery may discharge and die if the product does not receive adequate sunlight.
