How to use this guide
Since your merchandiser came equipped with a can module, the Snack Center Setup and Operator's Guide has instructed you to get this booklet to continue your setup. Follow the steps for setting up your can module, then return to the spot in the Setup and Operator's Guide that sent you here. You may notice some other books in your plastic bag, also. The Programming Guide is a reference for you to use later, after your machine is up and running. Use the Programming Guide to access the many advanced features included with your machine.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THIS BOOKLET! Even though you may have finished with it today, you might find the need to set your merchandiser up again. We recommend returning it to the plastic bag, and storing it inside the cabinet. That way, it is readily available at a future time.
This machine has been engineered to our own rigid safety and performance standards. It has been designed to comply with sanitation and health guidelines recommended by the Automatic Merchan­dising Health-Industry Council (AMHIC) and it conforms with all other NAMA safety recommen­dations.
This machine has been manufactured in accordance with the safety standards of both Underwriter’s Laboratories and the Canadian Standards Association. To maintain this degree of safety and to con­tinue to achieve the level of perf orma nce built into this machine, it is important that installation a nd maintenance be performed so as to not alter the original construction or wiring, and that replace­ment parts are as specified in the Parts Manual. Your investment in this equipment will be pro­tected by using this Setup and Operator's Guide and the Par ts Manual in your operation, service and maintenance work. By following the prescribed procedures, machine performance and safety will be preserved.

Preliminary

Power Requirements
The merchandiser is supplied with a service cord for the country of use and is terminated in a ground­ing type plug. The wall receptacle used for this merchandiser must be properly polarized, grounded, and of the correct voltage. Operating the merchandiser from a source of low voltage will VOID YOUR WARRANTY. Each merchandiser should have its own electrical circuit and that circuit should be protected with a circuit breaker or fuse conforming to local regulations.
1. Voltage Check - Place the leads of a voltmeter across the LINE (LIVE) and NEUTRAL termi-
nals of the wall receptacle. The voltmeter should indicate 110-130 volts ac for 120 volt, 60 Hz locations, or 220- 240 volts ac for 230 volt, 50 Hz locations.
2. Polarity Check - Place the leads of a voltmeter across the LINE (LIVE) and GROUND termi-
nals of the wall receptacle. The voltmeter should indicate 110-130 volts ac for 120 volt, 60 Hz locations, or 220- 240 volts ac for 230 volt, 50 Hz locations.
3. Noise Potential Check - Place the test leads of a voltmeter across the NEUTRAL and
GROUND terminals of the wall receptacle. The meter should indicate 0 volts ac. A measure­ment greater than 1.5 - 2.0 volts ac could result in problems for the merchandiser's electronic
circuitry caused by electrical noise. Any deviation from these requirements could result in unreliable performance from your merchan­diser.
Unpack the Machine
Remove all packing materials from the interior of the machine. Keep all documents; warr ant y cards, etc. Set aside the base plate kit (if present).

NORMAL CONDITIONS: When the merchandiser is operating normally, you should see a steady red POWER ON indicator and a flashing red HEARTBEAT indicator. Contact a service represen-
tative if any other condition exists.

AKE THE MERCHANDISER
HROUGH THE OPENING:
. Open the cabinet door and place it square with the
left side of the cabinet.
. Carefully walk the merchan-
diser through the opening.
EASSEMBLE THE MER­HANDISER:
. Replace the upper and lower
panels.
2. Position the Merchandiser
Move the merchandiser to its approximate position. (There are some procedures you need to do before it is in its permanent location.) Plug in your merchandiser and turn the power switch to ON.
You can position this merchandiser anywhere in a bank of machines. It can even be placed on an end flush against a side wall.
The 167 and 168 merchandisers should be located at least one inch away from the back wall.
The 764, 765, 784, 787, 797, and 798 merchandisers should be placed at least six inches away from the back wall. This will provide adequate air circulation for the refrigeration unit.
The 764, 765, 787, 797, and 798 merchandisers will operate more efficiently when placed in a shaded location.
There should be enough room in front of the merchandiser for the door to move freely.
WARNING
This machine is only rated for installation in an indoor location.

1. Set up Trays to Vend Products
These instructions will guide you through setting up your trays for vending. You will be asked to determine if your tray can physically hold the products you intend to vend. If not, you will be directed to other procedures which will help you get them set up. Follow these nine steps for each tray in your machine:
1. Make sure the tray is in the loading position.
2. Is the column wide enough for the intended product? If so, proceed to the next step. Otherwise,
set up your tray to vend wider products ( see below, this page). When you're done, return to step 3 in this procedure.
3. Will the products fit between the spiral turns? If so, proceed to the next step. Otherwise,
change the spiral.
4. Will the product pass under the tray immediately above? If so, proceed to the next step. Other-
wise, reposition the tray and guides.
5. Will the product touch products on either side? I f not, proceed to the next step. Otherwise,
install a product spacer.
6. Load products in the tray.
7. Return the tray to the vending position.
8. Install the price rolls.
9. Install the selection ID numbers.
2. Set Up A Tray To Vend Wide Products
The following steps will help you configure your tray to vend wide products. When you have com­pleted the procedures called out in each step, return to the next step in the procedure. When you are done with the entire wide product steps, return to the set-up procedures above.
1. Remove the tray from the merchandiser and place on a flat surface.
2. Based on the size of the product you want to vend, decide how many spiral positions it will
occupy . Please remember that the leftmost spiral in the group must have an even ID number (0, 2, 4, etc.) For example, if a product is three spirals wide, the left spiral will be ID number 0, and the right spiral will be ID number 2. Be careful how wide you set up for, because really wide products could get hung up in the delivery door.
3. Remove the column dividers inside the group. In the example of three spiral positions, you
would be removing the dividers between spiral ID numbers 0 and 1, and 1 and 2.
4. If your group only consists of 2 spirals, replace the rightmost motor with a spiral bearing and
gear, and install a gear on the leftmost motor. Skip to step 8.
5. Remove all spirals in the group except the leftmost spiral.
6. Do one of the following:
a. If your group has an ODD number of spirals (3, 5, etc.) remove the harnesses from all
motors in the group except the leftmost one. To the rightmost motor, connect the harness from the motor immediately to its left.
b. If your group has an EVEN number of spirals (4, 6, etc.) remove the harnesses from all
motors inside the group (leave the harnesses connected to the leftmost and rightmost motors).
