TEMPERA

TURE CHECK

Once your vendor is unboxed you will need to plug in your vendor and allow it to come to operating
temperature. We recommend that you perform this check prior to placing your vendor on site. It will
take about 24 hours for the vendor to reach operating temperature of 38º- 45º. Temperature fluctua­tion is normal, and will depend upon your facilities climate. The Thermostat is located in the back of
the vendor. Note: Never lay your vendor on its side.
To adjust the temperature, turn the Adjustment Slot (1/8" at a time) clockwise to a colder setting. (Fig.

1) Caution: Do not turn the Adjustment Slot to 10 as the Compressor may freeze, and void your war­ranty. The factory setting should cool your vendor properly, any adjustments beyond the factory set­ting should be done with caution.

MOUNTING

Your vendor is intended as a stand alone vendor or can be mounted to the optional BX5 Stand. Also
the vendor can be mounted to 9, 10, 18 or 20 selection mechanical snack machines to form a Compact
Mechanical Combination Vendor. The mounting instructions to form Combination Vendors are featured
in the Operator's Manuals for all of the models of snack vendors.
Mounting to the stand requires no hardware, and the stand ships fully assembled.

DELIVERY

Product Chutes, and the Can Spiral Coils. The Mechanism Panel is the front panel. This panel con­trols the receiving of money and the action of the Can Spiral Coil. Once the correct amount of money
is received, the Mechanism Knob can be turned clockwise to the right. Product is vended by turning
the Mechanism Knob one (1) complete revolution. There is a sold out switch near the end of each
Product Chute that will turn on the selections "Sold-Out" Light when it does not detect product.

The Driver Mechanism (Fig. 4) comes factory preset but can be changed to suit your needs. The Coin
Sub-Assembly is made up of a series of discs consisting of white, black and metal Coin Discs. The
white spacers are thinner than the black, and the combination of the two place the Coin Discs in the
proper position to receive coins.
