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

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).

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).

4. Moving a Tray Up or Down
This merchandiser can be adjusted to vend taller products. Some guidelines must be followed:
• Keep in mind that when you increase the product height available to a tray by l owering it, you will
be decreasing the product height available to the tray below.
• If a tray is in the lowest position, the tray below it should not be in the highest position.
• If a tray is in the highest position, the tray above it should not be in the lowest position.
• You will need to experiment with various tray positions to get the best results for your products.
CAUTION:
The trays in a model 764 and 765 merchandiser should not be posi-
tioned over an open air discharge vent.
NOTE:
Tray movement is limited bec ause the tr ay harness will limit the
amount of travel available to the tray guide rails.
. Remove the tray from the merchan-
diser. (See REMOVING A
TRAY).
. Remove the screw that secures
the right tray guide rail to the
front guide mounting channel as
shown.
. Tap up on the guide rail and unseat
the guide rail tabs from the channel slots.
. Pull the guide rail away from the front and rear guide
mounting channels.
. Move the guide rail to the desired position.
. Insert the guide rail tabs into the mounting CVchannel
slots as shown.
. Tap down on the guide rail to seat the tabs in the channel slots.
. Replace the screw that secures the guide rail to the front guide
mounting channel.
. Repeat steps 2 through 8 for the left guide rail.
0. Return the tray to the merchandiser.
( See INSTALLING A TRAY IN THE MERCHANDISER).
1. Load products into the trays, and perform test vends. Make sure the trays don't interfere with
the products you are vending, and that all products vend properly.

Final Installation
Move the merchandiser to its final position:
• 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, 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. Level the Merchandiser
1. Using a spirit level, adjust the legs until the cabinet is level from side to side and front to back.
NOTE
A slight slope from front to back will improve the draining of condensate from merchandisers with refrigerating units. When the
merchandiser is part of a bank of mach ines, level it in reference to
the other machines. After leveli n g is comp let e, check that the door
operates easily.
