INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR MULTI-6
Your Multi-6 vending machine has been set up at the factory and should give many years or
trouble free operation.
Health & Safety.
The Multi-6 vending machine weighs in excess of 30 kilo (depending on the options
requested) therefore ensure there is sufficient equipment / staff available when installing this
machine.
To install the machine proceed as follows:
Remove the front door.
After carefully removing the machine from its carton, remove the keys from the back of the
machine and lay it down on the floor. Using the keys, release the 2 locks on the door and
open. Whilst in the open position, lift the door off its hinges.
Installation
Ensure the wall is flat and sufficiently strong to take the weight of the Multi-6. Using the
screws provided, or other suitable fastenings, screw the chassis to the wall ensuring it is level.
Remember to allow sufficient room for the door to open. Re hang the door. The battery pack
should now be connected.
Product Label Identification
A standard label has been fitted in the display area if one was requested (optional extra). If
you are fitting your own label, proceed as follows:
Remove the 2 screws securing the top of the black display panel and swing down. Remove
the nuts securing the label back plate in position and take the back plate off. Using the paper
template, fit part of the product pack by the appropriate button remembering to include the
price. The top button (number 1) operates column number 1 (furthest left)
Filling the Multi-6 with product
The Multi-6 has been set up at the factory and a label has been fitted to the column to indicate
the product being vended (If known). Remove the weight from the channel and fill
remembering to place the weight on top of the final pack. (This weight can be discarded if the
products fall correctly and they are of sufficient weight to activate the switch on the tractor
unit. When changing to a new product or filling for the first time, operate the Multi-6 with
the door open to ensure smooth operation. If a problem occurs, see the trouble shooting guide
below.

Troubleshooting
Question: When ejecting, the product strains to go round the deflector.
Answer:: Adjust the deflector up or down using the wing nuts on the front until it runs
smoothly. This problem normally occurs when the product is very deep. Ensure
the wing nuts are tight to prevent the deflector from dropping during use.
Question: The machine will not accept any coins
Answer: There must be product in at least one of the columns. If all the columns are
empty, the coin will be rejected.
or
Check that you have got the correct coin set. i.e. you are not trying to put euros
in a sterling machine. See ‘To change the coin set’ above
