TROUBLESHOOTING

Note: Due to manufacturing defects, damaged lids or poorly stacking lid types, some lids may not dispense as planned. Under these rare conditions
your customer is still able to easily retrieve a lid.

Problem Might be Caused By Course of Action

Unsatisfactory dispensing

More than one lid releases when
opening door

Single lid dispenses inconsistently.

Lids are frequently damaged.

Door is disengaged from door pivots
or becomes disengaged when
opened too far.

Your lid may be incorrect for your
LidSaver™ settings.

LidSaver™ may be overfilled with lids.
When lids are compressed too tightly
from overstocking they will not dispense
well. Instruct staff to not overstock lids.

Pager flipper not returning to proper
working position after loading lid stack.

Pager not securely fastened down.

Lid claw is missing or damaged.

Piston or piston spring may be damaged
and preventing movement to the most
forward position.

One or pager flappers have migrated
inward, causing the lids to be held too
firmly.

Door pivot screws are sheared.

Read label on “lid plate”. If this does not match your lids, order a lid
change kit” to reset your LidSaver™ for your lid.

Remove lids and flake the stack. Avoid overstocking lids when
loading.

Using warm soapy water, thoroughly saturate pager and flipper
until flipper operates freely.

Grasp each pager to determine if it is loose and allows movement
within the adjustment slot. Order a tune-up kit to set these
components accurately.

Look for horizontal motion in one or the other claw. If horizontal
motion is noticed, tighten or replace the claw screws. If claw is
broken, order a new claw.

The piston or piston spring may be damaged. Clean the inside of
the tube

to check if the lid claw reaches behind the first lid when the door is

order a Lid Tune Up Kit to reset the pagers.

Remove the door pivot screws. Replace with 0.75-1.00" 10-24
round head screws.
