A COMMITMENT TO SAFETY

The Vendo Company is committed to safety in every aspect of our product design. Vendo
is committed to alerting every user to the possible dangers involved in improper handling
or maintenance of our equipment. The servicing of any electrical or mechanical device
involves potential hazards, both to those servicing the equipment and to users of the
equipment. These hazards can arise because of improper maintenance techniques. The
purpose of this manual is to alert everyone servicing Vendo equipment of potentially
hazardous areas, and to provide basic safety guidelines for proper maintenance.

This manual contains various warnings that should be carefully read to minimize the risk
of personal injury to service personnel. This manual also contains service information to
insure that proper methods are followed to avoid damaging the vendor or making it unsafe.
It is also important to understand these warnings are not exhaustive. Vendo could not
possibly know, evaluate, or advise of all of the conceivable ways in which service might be
done. Nor can Vendo predict all of the possible hazardous results. The safety
precautions outlined in this manual provide the basis for an effective safety program. Use
these precautions, along with the service manual, when installing or servicing the vendor.

We strongly recommend a similar commitment to safety by every servicing organization.
Only properly-trained personnel should have access to the interior of the machine.
This will minimize the potential hazards that are inherent in electrical and mechanical
devices. Vendo has no control over the machine once it leaves the premises. It is the
owner or lessor’s responsibility to maintain the vendor in a safe condition. See Section I of
this manual for proper installation procedures and refer to the appropriate service manual
for recommended maintenance procedures. If you have any questions, please contact the
Technical Services Department of the Vendo office nearest you.

SAFETY RULES

• Read the Safety Manual before installation or service.

• Test for proper grounding before installing to reduce the risk of electrical shock and

fire.

• Turn off power switch or disconnect power cord from wall outlet before servicing or
clearing product jams. The vending mechanism can trap and pinch hands.

• Use only fully-trained service technicians for Power- On servicing.

• Remove any product prior to moving a vendor.

• Use adequate equipment when moving a vendor.

• Always wear eye protection, and protect your hands, face, and body when working

near the refrigeration system.

• Use only authorized replacement parts.

• Be aware of inherent dangers in rocking or tipping a vending machine.

• Always turn power off before plugging or unplugging vendor to wall outlet.

SECTION I: VENDOR INSTALLATION

A. Vendors are large, bulky machines of significant size and weight. Improper

handling can result in injury. When moving a vendor, carefully plan the route to be
taken and the people and equipment required to accomplish the task safely.

B. Remove all tape, shipping sealant, and Styrofoam from the vendor. Loosen any

shipping devices used to secure interior parts during shipping. Remove the wooden
shipping base attached to the vendor base by the vendor leveling screws. Make
certain the leveling screws are in place and functional.

C. Position the vendor three to four inches (7.6 cm to 10.2 cm) from a well-constructed

wall (of a building or otherwise) on a flat, smooth surface.

IMPORTANT: The vendor requires three inches (7.6 cm) of air space from the wall

to ensure proper air circulation to cool the refrigeration unit.

D. Adjust the leveling screws to compensate for any irregularities on the floor surface.

Ideally, no adjustment will be necessary and the leveling legs will be flush with the
bottom of the vendor. A spirit level is a useful aid to level the vendor. When the
vendor is properly leveled the outer door, when opened, will remain stationary.
Vendors must be level to ensure proper operation and to maintain stability
characteristics. Do not add legs to the vendor. The leveling legs shall not raise

the vendor more than 1 1/8 inch above the ground.

E. Check the manufacturer’s nameplate on the left or right side of the vendor’s outer

door to verify the main power supply requirements of the vendor. Be sure the main
power supply matches the requirements of the vendor. To ensure safe operation,
plug the vendor only into a properly grounded outlet.

DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS.

F. Recommended voltage specs = volts required + amps of circuit.
G. Dedicated 15A service required for 1 machine.
NOTE: Any power supply variance more than +

10% may cause the vendor to

malfunction.
* Power outlets must be properly grounded.
* Power outlets must be properly polarized, where applicable.
Test the outlets using the following information.

SECTION I: VENDOR INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)

For Type 1 and Type 2 outlets, test for Grounding and Polarization as follows:

1. With a test device (volt meter or test light), connect one probe to the receptacle’s

neutral contact and the other to the live contact. The test device should show a
reaction.

2. Connect one probe to the receptacle’s earth contact and the other to the live

contact. The test device should show a reaction.

For Type 3 through Type 5 outlets, test for Grounding as follows:

1. With a test device (volt meter or test light), determine which of the receptacle’s

power contacts is the live contact.
A. Connect one probe to the receptacle’s earth contact.
B. Connect the second probe to the left (or upper) power contact. If a reaction

occurs, this is the live power contact. If a reaction does not occur, move the
second probe to the right (or lower) contact. A reaction should occur,
indicating that this is the live power contact.

2. Connect one probe to the receptacle’s live power contact (as determined in step 1).

Connect the second probe to the other power contact (neutral). The test device

should show a reaction.

IF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET FOR THE GIVEN OUTLET
TYPE, CONTACT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND HAVE THE
NECESSARY CORRECTIONS MADE.

SECTION II: ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

GENERAL

Vendo vending machines are provided with the appropriate power supply setting for your
area. Some models are equipped with step-down transformers, as required. This enables
the vending machine to operate on different main voltages. Refer to Section I. E. for
information to determine the main power requirements. Refer to the appropriate service
manual for details of step-down transformer operations.

The power sources just mentioned are standard for both household and commercial
lighting and appliances. However, careless or improper handling of electrical circuits can
result in injury or death. Anyone installing, repairing, loading, opening, or otherwise
servicing a vending machine should be alerted to this point. Apply all of the normal
precautions observed in handling electrical circuits, such as:

• Refrigeration servicing to be performed by qualified personnel only.

• Unplug the vendor or move power switch to off position before servicing or clearing

product jams.

• Replace electrical cords if there is any evidence of fraying or other damage.

• Keep all protective covers and ground wires in place.

• Plug equipment into outlets that are properly grounded and polarized (where

applicable), and protected with fuses or circuit breakers.

• All electrical connections must be dry and free of moisture before applying power.

A. Grounding Systems

Vendo vending machines are provided with the appropriate service cord for the

power supply in your area. The service cord will connect to the matching electrical

outlet. Always ensure that the outlet to be used is properly grounded before

plugging in the vendor. (See pages S-3 through S-5.)

WARNING:

ALWAYS TEST TO VERIFY PROPER GROUNDING PRIOR TO

INSTALLATION TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL

SHOCK AND FIRE

The electrical grounding system also includes the bonding of all metal components within
the vendor. This involves a system of bonding wires identified by green or green and
yellow marking. The system uses serrated head screws, lock washers, and star washers
to ensure the electrical connection between parts. Maintenance of vending equipment
may involve disassembly. Include the above items when reassembling, even if the
vending machine may appear to function normally without them. Omitting any of these
items can compromise a link in the grounding system. See the appropriate service
manual or kit instructions for components and assembly instructions.

S-7

06/2003

SECTION II: ELECTRICAL HAZARDS (CONTINUED)

B. Servicing with “Power Off”

For maximum safety, unplug the service cord from the wall outlet before opening

the vendor door. This will remove power from the equipment and avoid electrical

and mechanical hazards. Service personnel should remain aware of possible

hazards from hot components even though electrical power is off. See the

appropriate sections of this manual for further information.
C. Servicing with “Power On”

Some service situations may require access with the power on. Power on servicing

should be performed only by fully-qualified service technicians. Particular

caution is required in servicing assemblies that combine electrical power and

mechanical movement. Sudden movement (to escape mechanical action) can

result in contact with live circuits and vice versa. It is therefore doubly important to

maintain maximum clearances from both moving parts and live circuits when

servicing.

WARNING:

“POWER-ON” SERVICING SHOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED ONLY BY

FULLY-TRAINED PERSONNEL. SUCH SERVICE BY UNQUALIFIED

INDIVIDUALS CAN BE DANGEROUS.

Power to lighting and refrigeration system is shut off automatically by the electronic
controller when the outer door is opened. Applies to V-Max only.

NOTE: For power-on servicing of the vendor’s lighting system, turn lighting power on by

accessing the Lights test function of the electronic controller (see programming
on inner door). Applies to V-Max only.

For power-on servicing of the vendor’s refrigeration system, turn refrigeration

power on by accessing the Compressor test function of the electronic controller
(see programming on inner door). Applies to V-Max only.

SECTION III: MECHANICAL HAZARDS

A. Servicing of Moving Parts and Assemblies

When servicing assemblies involving moving parts, use extreme caution!! Keep

fingers, hands, loose clothing, hair, tools, or any foreign material clear of

entrapment.
As noted before under the electrical hazards section, Power On servicing should

only be performed by qualified personnel. Refer to and heed the warnings noted in

the electrical hazards section. These warnings refer to the potential hazards

associated with electrical power and moving parts. Always maintain maximum

clearances from electrical and moving parts.
Always install protective covers and guards when reassembling equipment.

WARNING:
THIS VENDING MACHINE INCLUDES MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT
WHICH CAN BE HAZARDOUS IF IMPROPERLY HANDLED OR

A. UNPACKING

Remove all plastic film, cardboard and tape from the outside of the vendor. Loosen
any shipping devices used to secure interior parts during shipment (backspacer,
shims or spacers).

To remove shipping boards from base, raise vendor on a well-stabilized lifting
device. Remove the leveling bolts which hold the boards in place and remove the
boards. Replace bolts to equal heights in the threaded holes.
Another method to remove shipping boards is to split the boards apart. Using a
pinch bar or a heavy screwdriver and hammer, insert tool into the slots and force the
boards apart.

B. POSITIONING

IMPORTANT: PLACE THE VENDOR IN DESIRED LOCATION AT LEAST THREE
TO FOUR INCHES AWAY FROM ANY REAR OBSTRUCTION. This is for proper

air flow through the refrigeration compartment. The refrigeration system requires
front to rear air circulation for proper operation.

C. POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION

INITIAL SET-UP

CAUTION: DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD!

The vendor’s power requirements will vary depending upon the country it was
purchased for. To verify the power requirements of the vendor, check the serial
plate located on the hinged side of the outer door (see Figure 4 on page G-4). The
power requirements are listed on the serial plate.

To insure safe operation of the vendor, the vendor’s power supply must be a
properly grounded and polarized outlet. Before plugging the vendor into the outlet,
test the outlet to confirm it will meet the vendor’s power requirements. If the power
supply of the outlet is different from the power requirements of the vendor, a
transformer may be necessary.

If the power requirements are not properly met, contact a licensed electrician and
have the necessary correction made.

Should you require additional information, contact the Technical Services
Department of the Vendo office in your area.
