turn clockwise ¼ turn. When unlocked the "T" of the Lock will pop out from the vendor. Turn ¼ turn clockwise to open Front
Panel.

MOUNTING

Your Elite Snack Vendor can be mounted to either an optional Stand or to the Elite Beverage Vendor.
The optional Stand comes pre-assembled, with mounting hardware. You will need tools for mounting.

1. To Mount to optional Stand.
A. Unlock and open Stand.
B. Set vendor on top of Stand.
C. Unlock and open Front Door.
D. Remove bottom Product Tray. Pull Product Tray fully forward,

keeping it level.

E. Lift Product Tray to release from the track. Then it can be pulled

forward and lifted out.
CAUTION: The Product Tray Wire Harness will need to be unplugged prior to complete removal of the Product Tray. The Wiring
Harness is plugged into the inside right-hand side of the vendor. You may need assistance.

Tighten. (Fig. 1)

Mounting to the optional Elite Beverage Vendor will be explained in that section of the Manual (Pg. 20)

LEVELING

Once your vendor is in its new location, you will need to level it to insure proper operation. You will need a level. We recommend
a 3ft(1m) level, as it will give a more accurate reading than a small torpedo level. There are threaded Levelers included with your
vendor. These Levelers screw into the bottom of your Stand and can then be adjusted up or down as needed.

ELECTRICAL

CONNECTION

The Elite Snack Vendor requires one (1) 120 VAC grounded outlet for each vendor(s).

Elite Snack Vendor 120 Volts Less than 1 Amp

KEYPAD AND LED DISPLAY

The Keypad (Fig. 2) is a touch sensitive operation. Light pressure will be necessary to activate each number or letter. The ven­dor's Keypad is used by the customer to make their selection, and by the operator to set and test many functions of the ven­dor.
The LED Display shows the customer the amount of money entered into the vendor, and the cost of their selection, it shows the
operator the Service Mode functions for setting and testing the various functions of the vendor.

DELIVER

Y

SYSTEM

The Delivery System of your Elite Snack Vendor consists of the Keypad, LED Display, Driver Motors, Product Trays, Product Chutes,
and Helix Coils. The customer inserts money and enters their selection on the Keypad. The selection's Driver Motor turns the Helix
Coil that vends the product.

LOADING PRODUCT

To present your product in as an attractive and professional manner as possible, do not load any damaged items, and make sure items
are facing forward for easy identification by your customer.
Note: The size of the item being vended must be larger than the Helix Coil, but smaller than the Column, to vend correctly. Never force
an oversized item into the Helix Coil or Column, nor attempt to vend an item that is smaller than the Helix Coil as this will create prob­lems and deter customers. (Fig.4)

Product Tray at a time.

B.) Place product in proper size Helix Coil. Note: Bottom of product must

rest on the Product Tray and not on the Helix
Coil. (Fig. 4) Load each Column from front to back. Note: Fill all Product Trays fully, do not leave any spaces
behind or between items.

C.) Once Product Tray is fully loaded, lift and push it back in. Repeat above steps until all Product Trays are

fully loaded.

To increase the length of the Helix Coil, white plastic Product Pushers can be snapped on the end. A supply of Product
Pushers are provided in the vendors hardware bag.

vends can be performed easily by entering Service Mode and running "Individual Motor Testing". (See: Keypad and LED
