Please read this manual in its entirety. This service information is intended to be used by a
qualified service technician, who is familiar with proper and safe procedures to be followed when
repairing, replacing, or adjusting any Dixie-Narco vender components. All repairs should be
performed by a qualified service technician who is equipped with the proper tools and replacement
components, using genuine Dixie-Narco factory parts.
REPAIRS AND/OR SERVICING ATTEMPTED BY UNQUALIFIED
PERSONS CAN RESULT IN HAZARDS DEVELOPING DUE TO
IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OR ADJUSTMENTS WHILE PERFORMING
SUCH REPAIRS. PERSONS NOT HAVING A PROPER BACKGROUND
MAY SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO THE RISK OF INJURY OR
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, WHICH CAN BE SERIOUS OR EVEN FATAL.
RECEIVING INSPECTION
Upon receipt, inspect the vender for any shipping damage. If there is any damage, have the driver
note the damage on the bill of lading and notify Dixie-Narco. Although I.C.C. regulations require
that the consignee originate shipping damage claims, Dixie-Narco will be happy to assist you if
you must file a shipping damage claim.
UNPACKING THE VENDER
Remove the stretch wrap and top cover from the vender.
NOTE: DO NOT STORE THE VENDER OUTSIDE WITH STRETCH WRAP ON.
THIS COULD CAUSE THE STRETCH WRAP TO BOND TO THE
VENDER’S SURFACE, WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE FINISH.
Remove the shipping boards from the bottom of the vender. The shipping boards are attached
by the leveling legs. To avoid unnecessary damage to the leveling legs or base, remove the
shipping boards by using a 1-1/2 inch “socket type” wrench to unscrew the leveling legs. Be sure
to replace the legs after removing the shipping boards.
To open the vender, locate the door lock keys that are located inside the coin return cup. After
unlocking the door, rotate the T-handle counterclockwise until the door can be opened. Once
inside, remove and discard the wood shipping block from the bottom right side of the cabinet.
Check the coin box, under the can/bottle chute, and between the column walls for any additional
flavor strips, additional parts, pricing labels or information concerning factory installed parts such
as coin mechanism, validator or card reader. Check the T-handle for proper alignment with the
cabinet and locking functions. Check the lamp for proper operation.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT POWER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
VENDER OR THAT THE POWER INTERRUPT SWITCH (IF PROVIDED)
IS NOT DEFEATED BEFORE INSPECTING OR REPLACING THE
LAMPS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY
SUBJECT THE USER TO THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, WHICH
CAN BE SERIOUS OR FATAL.

WARNING: DO NOT STORE ANYTHING OR ALLOW DEBRIS OF ANY
KIND TO ACCUMULATE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR, IN AND
AROUND THE REFRIGERATION COMPARTMENT OF THE CABINET,
OR IN FRONT OF THE EVAPORATOR AND CONDENSER COILS.
ELECTRIC POWER REQUIREMENTS
Refer to the cabinet serial number plate/label to determine the proper voltage and frequency
required by the vender. The cabinet serial number plate/label also indicates the amperage or
wattage required by the vender. Single phase, alternating current is required. The vender must be
plugged into its own properly rated circuit with its own circuit protection (fuse/circuit breaker) in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
GROUND THE VENDER
The vender is equipped with a three-wire power supply cord and must be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN OR IN ANY WAY BYPASS,
MODIFY, DEFEAT, OR DESTROY THE GROUNDING SYSTEM OF THE VENDER. If
the outlet will not accept the power cord plug, contact an electrician to install a proper AC outlet.
WARNING: FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS
MAY SUBJECT THE USER TO THE RISK OF INJURY
OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, WHICH CAN BE SERIOUS
OR FATAL.
PLACING THE VENDER ON LOCATION
CAUTION: DO NOT TRANSPORT THE VENDER TO OR FROM THE
LOCATION LOADED WITH PRODUCT OR DAMAGE
TO THE VENDER MAY RESULT.
The vender must be located on a solid, flat, and level surface. Ensure the surface can bear the
weight of a fully stocked vender. The vender must be positioned close enough to an electrical
outlet so that an extension cord is not required. If the machine will be subject to user misuse or
vandalism, is it recommended that that vender be secured to the floor or wall as described in Dixie-
Narco Technical Bulletin No. 344. Call the Dixie-Narco Technical Service Department or your
Dixie-Narco Representative for assistance.
LEVEL THE VENDER
Level the vender. When the vender is level, the door can be opened to any position and it will not
move by itself. Open the door to several different positions before deciding that the vender is
level. A carpenter’s level will help verify the machine is level. Make sure that all of the leveling
legs are in contact with the floor. If you cannot level the vender in its current location, select
another location. DO NOT PLACE ANY OBJECTS UNDER THE MACHINE!

DANGER: THE VENDER MUST BE PROPERLY LOCATED AND
LEVELED. IF THE MACHINE WILL BE SUBJECT TO
USER MISUSE OR VANDALISM IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
THE VENDER BE SECURED TO THE FLOOR OR WALL
AS DESCRIBED IN DIXIE-NARCO TECHNICAL BULLETIN
NO. 344 TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH
FROM TIPPING. CALL DIXIE-NARCO TECHNICAL SERVICE
DEPARTMENT, OR YOUR DIXIE-NARCO REPRESENTATIVE
FOR ASSISTANCE.
SPACE THE VENDER
Do not block the rear of the vender. Maintain a minimum of 4 in. (10 cm) from the wall to ensure
adequate airflow to the condenser and compressor. At the front of the vender, make sure that
nothing obstructs the air intake at the bottom of the main door. At the rear of the vender, make
sure nothing obstructs the air exhaust at the bottom of the cabinet.
INSTALLING FLAVOR CARDS
CIRCULAR OR FLAT FULL LENGTH SIGN
The flavor cards are inserted into the back of the selection buttons. Where applicable, swing the
coin changer mounting plate away from the outer door exposing the back of the select buttons.
The flavor cards are perforated on the right side. Bend the flavor card 90 degrees at the perforation
so that the right edge is toward the back of the flavor card. This will aid in easy installation and
removal of the flavor card. The flavor cards can now be inserted into the back of the selection
buttons from the left side. Ensure that the flavor cards are placed in the selection buttons that
correspond to the columns in which the product is loaded.
DISPLAY VENDERS
Remove bag of arrows, price labels and button caps from the cash box. Referring to the product
installation chart below (Fig. 1), place price sticker on arrow and place arrow in the clear plastic
cap noting that the bottom row of buttons point downward. Next, install clear cap with arrow onto
selection switch and push firmly until cap snaps into place.
INSTALLING PRODUCT IN DISPLAY
Open main door and open inner door to gain access to product
display box. Locate the two locking tabs at the top and bottom left
side of the display box. Lifting these two tabs will allow the product
display box to swing open. Again referring to figure 1, carefully
install the product into the clips provided being sure not to puncture
the display product.
