Protective shipping guards (Fig. 2) were installed on the leveling legs at the factory. Once the machine is placed near its
final location the protective shipping guards may be removed. To remove the shipping guard, unscrew the leveling leg
from the bottom until the guard is loose – a few turns only. The guard is held together with four phillips head screws and
two brackets. Remove the screws and the guard will split in half for removal.
Fig. 2
Now place the machine into its final location. Using a level on the top of the machine, adjust the five leveling legs, if
necessary, for proper level both side to side and front to back. A good point to keep in mind is the shorter the leveling legs
are kept to achieve proper leveling the more stable the machine will be.

DOOR CLEARANCE
Please leave 7” clearance on the right side of the machine for the door to open and extend past the cabinet side. See
clearance requirements above for refrigerated units.
Your vendor is intended for indoor use only.
Your vendor must be set on a level, well-supported location.
Always unload vendor before transporting it.
Remove all wire ties and protective sheeting prior to vending.
CAUTION!
Procedures marked in this manual with the symbol shown to the left require power to the
machine, which means that there is a shock hazard.
CAUTION!
It is important that this machine is hooked up to the proper voltage. Verify the voltage
before connecting the machine to a wall outlet.
CAUTION!
Different countries may have different power arrangements. Insure that the machine is
properly grounded before operating.
CAUTION!
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized service
agent or a similarly qualified person to avoid electrical hazards.
ATTENTION!
This vending machine is very heavy. Ensure that sufficient personnel are available for
lifting or transporting the machine. Use proper lifting procedures and equipment.
CAUTION!
Certain components of this machine are sensitive to static electricity. Precautions for
handling sensitive devices should be observed when handling these items.
ATTENTION!
Refrigerated models need air flow. Leave at least 6” between the back of the vending
machine and the wall. Condenser cooling air is taken in the bottom and exhausted out the
back of the machine. Clean the condenser once every two weeks or more often for high-
particle locations.

LOADING PRODUCTS
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 Product Chute, to vend
correctly. Never force an oversized item into the Helix Coil or Product Chute, nor attempt to vend an item that is smaller
than the Helix Coil as this will create problems and deter customers. (Fig.1)
1. To Load Product:
A.) Use the release latches and pull the desired Product Tray all of the way
forward. Product Tray will tilt down or can be removed and placed on the floor or a table.
Note: Pull out only one (1) Product Tray at a time.
B.) Place product in proper size Helix Coil. Note: Bottom of product must
rest on the Product Tray and not on the Helix Coil. (Fig. 12) Load each
Product Chute from front to back. Note: Do not leave any spaces between items.
C.) Once Product Tray is loaded, lift the front of the tray to level and push it
back in. Repeat above steps until all Product Trays are fully loaded.
D.) After loading the product, if you have removed the tray to do so, place the
Tray in the cabinet by aligning the wheels in the guide rails. Clear the wire harness
To the side so that it is not interfering with the tray below.
To increase the length of the Helix Coil, white plastic Product Pushers can be snapped on the end. A supply of Product
Pushers are provided in the vendors hardware bag.
Special Note: We suggest that you always partially fill the vendor with product and perform at least five (5) test vends.
Test vends can be performed easily by entering Service Mode and running "Individual Motor Testing". (See: Keypad and
LED Display, Individual Motor Testing.)
Fig. 5
PRODUCT PUSHERS
Product pushers assist in moving the top of the product forward while it is being vended on the bottom, helping it fall
smoothly from the shelf. Product pushers are also good for products that have the wrapper flaps on the ends of the
package. Packaging such as this benefits from the extra momentum from the product pushers to keep the flaps from
hanging up the product on the spiral. The pusher is installed approximately 15mm from the front end of the coil with the
tab extending forward (see Fig. 6). Locate the pusher in its proper position, hold it against the coil wire and push the semi-
circular part around the coil wire. Note: Boxed items will not need a product pusher.

Revision 2012.02.27 9
LOADING BAGGED OR BOXED ITEMS
When vending small bagged items in the 8 or 10 selection trays can be a problem when the products are not loaded
properly. The flap edges of some products may get trapped under the spiral and cause the product to “hang up”. It is
recommended that the bottom flap of this type of packaging be folded forward and up (Fig. 4) next to the product when
loading. This type of packaging also lets the product settle to the bottom, so using the wider spirals is also recommended.
PRODUCT STABILIZERS
Models with beverage vending can accommodate various sizes of cans and bottles. Product stabilizers have been
included with your machine, carefully wrapped, and inserted into the cabinet. Product stabilizers are not absolutely
necessary, but do assist the product in several ways: 1.) They present the product in an upright manner, which attracts
more attention and will increase your sales and 2.) They keep the product steady as it moves forward during vend cycles.
To install the product stabilizers for beverage vending, first pull out one of the beverage trays. Note the silver tab at the
back of the tray, inside the coil (Fig. 7).
Fig. 7 – Product Stabilizers
The product stabilizers (one for each selection) should be slid inside the coil and the silver tab at the back of the tray
should be inserted into the slot on the end of the platform. Note that there are two slots at the end of the platform; the
rear-most slot should be used for this application. (Fig. 8)

Revision 2012.02.27 10
LOCK
Your vendor has one Lock, more commonly known as T-handle lock. To unlock the front door, insert key and turn
clockwise ¼ turn. When unlocked the ‘T’ of the Lock will pop out from its base. Turn the ‘T’ 15 to 20 times counter clock
wise to unlock the door. To Lock the door turn the ‘T’ handle clockwise 15 to 20 times and then push the ‘T’ inside the
Lock to lock the door. Key can now be removed. Note: Do not over-tighten when locking – this could strip the threads and
damage your machine.
REFRIGERATION
If you purchased a refrigerated model, please see special information throughout the manual regarding refrigeration,
settings and other information. The refrigeration system consists of Compressor, Relay circuit, Accumulator, condenser,
condenser fan, evaporator, evaporator fans and air duct. The entire refrigeration system is modular and has a separate
internal power cord, which is plugged in on the plug point provided at the bottom area below the last tray. The power
switch has to be turned ON in order to start up the refrigeration system. There is a door switch that controls the
refrigeration system ON and OFF condition. When the door is opened, the door switch is not depressed and the
refrigeration system shuts OFF. When the door is closed, the switch is activated and the evaporator fans starts turning.
There will be a delay before compressor starts running after the door closure.
There is a vent on the cabinet back to blow the air from condenser. The inlet vent is at the bottom of the cabinet in front of
the condenser. The condenser has to be cleaned regularly. The recommended frequency is once every two weeks.
There are 6 clips around the front of the refrigeration module that has to be un-hooked in order to remove the front door of
the refrigeration module. This will provide the access to the condenser. Either using fin-comb or a brush, clean the lint in
between the condenser fins. Note: Be careful not to bend the fins – this could restrict airflow and damage your machine.
The compressor and the relay circuit, condenser fan motor and drain pan can be accessed in the same manner by
removing the front door. The refrigeration system has to be unplugged and the module has to slide completely outside in
order to gain access to these components.
