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)

DRIVER MOTORS

Each selection is vended by the action of the Driver Motor. The HFBV has 5 Driver Motors. The Driver Motors are clipped to the
front of the Motor Bracket. (Fig. 16 & Fig. 14)
In the rare event of a jam a Driver Motor may need to be returned to its home position. The home position is when the shaft of
the Can Spiral Coil that is held by the Driver is vertical, with the end of the shaft pointing up.

GENERAL NOTES

It is suggested that a toolbox accompany you to each of your locations. Suggested items for this toolbox would include a sock­et set, (up to a 1/2" socket size suggested) a Phillips and a Standard screwdriver. Additional items would be a soft rag and
perhaps a Black Magic marker. The magic marker is useful in touching up light scratches that may occur to your vendor.
