Coin Mechanism Instructions

1. To change vend price, remove the Coin

Mechanism’s three mounting screws and pull it for­ward slightly to disengage its rear flange from the
locating slot at the rear of the Cabinet. Now, move
the Coin Mech to the left to disengage the Actuating
Pin from the slot in the Actuating Arm on the side of
the Magazine.

2. To set the vend price at even dollar amounts ($1.00,
$2.00 or $3.00), the #8 Stop Screw is not required ­only the Diverter Lockout is used on the Coin
Diverters. Put the Diverter Lockout “Up” to close
Diverter #1 for a $1.00 vend setting. Put the Diverter
Lockout “Down” to close Diverter #2 for a $2.00
vend setting. Remove the Diverter Lockout and
rotate it 180° so it leaves both Diverters “Open” for
a $3.00 setting.

3. To set the vend price at 50¢, 75¢, $1.25, etc. use the
#8 Stop-Screw in the appropriately marked stop
hole. Then, either Diverter #1 or #2 will be “closed”
with the Diverter Lockout. For example: to set at
$1.75, put the #8 stop screw in the $1.75 hole and
“close” Diverter #2 by moving the Diverter Lockout
“Down”. Example #2: To set at 50¢, put the #8 Stop
Screw in the 50¢ hole and “close” Diverter #1 by
moving the Diverter Lockout “Up”.

For vending above $2.00, remove the Nylock nut and
rotate the Diverter Lockout 180° and secure it to the
Coin Platform with the Nylock nut so it leaves both
Diverters in the “Open” position.

If you need to drop the shelves without going through
the effort of inserting quarters, simply push the Latch
Wire (under each shelf) with your fingernail or any flat
tool, such as a screwdriver.

Drop Shelf Vender

Operation & Service

Manual

The vender can be mounted on any vertical surface
without removing any part of the unit. Any standard fas­tener not larger than 3/8" diameter such as wood screws,
expansion bolts, machine bolts or carriage bolts can be
used depending on the type of wall. The wall section
selected for installation should be sturdy.

The top two fasteners should be loosely installed in the
wall with the heads of the fasteners projecting out
approximately 1/4" from the wall. Raise the top shelf of
the magazine into its vend position to expose one of the
two top mounting holes in the back of the cabinet. The
keyhole shape of the mounting holes will permit you to
hang the cabinet on the two fasteners. While in this
unsecured position, mark the bottom mounting holes on
the wall and remove the cabinet. Install the bottom two
fasteners and secure the cabinet to the wall using wash­ers under the heads of all fasteners.

Loading

The shelves can be easily and quickly reset into the
vend position (horizontal) by running the index finger of
your right hand up the right side of the shelves. This
“fanning” will take only seconds to reset all 24 shelves.

The top shelf has an automatic empty device that will
cause the coin mechanism to reject all coins when the
vender is empty. Therefore, it is extremely important to
load from the top shelf down if the vender will not be
fully loaded during restocking.

Coin Mechanism Features

The vender will be factory set to vend at $1.00
(or $2.00 for the bottle vender) unless otherwise
requested.

The Coin Mechanism incorporates a new “Speed Lock”
device to deter people from rapidly vending the
machine, allowing enough time for all the quarters to
drop into the Coin Box. If it is vended too fast, the
Speed Lock will activate and stop the Pull Rod.
However, it will be in ratchet so there is no chance of
losing the vend - all you have to do is let off slightly and
then continue pulling, allowing the product to drop.

Also, there is a new Coin Throwout that will return any
quarters inserted if the Pull Rod is forward of its rest
position. This will stop people who pull the handle out
to the lock position and then inset quarters, trying to
cheat the vender. This Coin Throwout also is used to
return all quarters inserted when the last shelf drops
and the vender is empty.
