Before Installation
First, inspect carton for tears, holes or obvious damage. Remove vender from shipping carton
and save all components of carton until after you have made a complete inspection of your
new vender. Should you notice any damage, immediately contact the transportation company
to file a claim.
Vender keys are in an envelope taped with the Wall Mounting Bracket to the packing material
on top of your machine. Immediately record the key number and vender serial number
(stamped on center of lower door) and store in a safe place.
The coin slide assemblies for your vender are wrapped in paper and shipped in a separate
box from your vender. Instructions for attaching coin slides to your vender are packed with the
slides, as well as included in the following pages of this manual.
Vender Mounting Instructions
Tools required: Level, drill, screw or nut driver, pencil and hardware appropriate for your wall
type.
Measure 63" up from the floor and mark two small lines. Put the Hanging Bracket on your
level on top of the 63" mark and mark all the slotted holes in your Wall Mounting Bracket. (At
this height, your coin slides will be within the suggested height range of the Americans with
Disabilities Act.) Drill out holes, and attach bracket using the correct hardware for your wall
type. Try to secure to at least one wall stud.
Place back of machine on the Wall Mounting Bracket and check again for level - both vertical
and horizontal. When packing your vender, we use tape, paper and wood to secure some
components during transit. Open upper door and remove all packing material, including
wood filler in package delivery area. Next, take out the magazine assembly by removing the
top and bottom screws. Mark wall through the two bottom holes of cabinet and take down
vender. Drill out holes.
Replace vender on the Wall Mounting Bracket and attach bottom of vender to wall using
recommended hardware for your wall type. Before tightening hardware, check the vertical and
horizontal level again.
*Note: Your vender is only as secure as the wall it is mounted on. Make sure to hang
your vender only on a sound, secure wall which can support the unit.
Take a soft cloth over the interior of your machine at this time to clean out any dust or dirt that
may have settled in the machine during installation.
Once machine is hung and cleaned, you can replace the magazine assembly by tilting the
magazine bottom in first, then lining up the top and bottom. Replace all of the screws.

Before the next step of attaching the coin slides to your vender, you
should have inspected the vender, the carton, and mounted the vender

** if you have a soap vender refer to the vertical style
instructions, if you have a bag vender refer to flat style
instructions. **
WE SHIP COIN SLIDE ASSEMBLIES COMPLETE, PLEASE USE THEM AND THE
LINE DRAWINGS AS REFERENCE DURING THIS NEXT STEP.
Tools required: #2 phillips head screw driver, straight edge screw driver and a 3/8" nut driver.
1. Important: Test each coin slide with money before proceeding.
2. Open the upper and lower doors of the vender.
3. Lay the coin slide on a table up side down. If the coin slide is a VERTICAL style,
remove the two 10/32 kep nuts and single Phillips head screw, from the end of the
slide under the driver bracket (See illustration # A, items #1 & #2). If the coin slide is a
FLAT style, remove the two 10/32 kep nuts and then the two 10/32 screws (See
illustration # C, items #4 & #5).
4. Remove the driver bracket. Using one completely assembled coin slide as
reference, disassemble remaining coin slides one at a time for mounting slides to
lower door. If on a VERTICAL style, disconnect the small flipper spring from the
return spring bracket (See illustration # B, items # 3 & #4). If on a FLAT style,
remove the driver and set aside.
5. Now loosen 1/4 turn, but DO NOT remove the four (4) Phillips head locator mounting
screws (Illustration #'s A& C, item # 3). Remove the center screw on the top back side
of the face plate (Illustration #'s B & C, item #'s 1).
6. Mount the coin slide by inserting it face up through the opening in the lower door, and
putting the spacer/washer on the inside of the lower door, over the coin slide (Illustration
# D for VERTICAL style and FLAT styles). Align the center screw hole, insert screw and
tighten. Check that the four (4) locator screws are seated into the slots of the lower door
and spacer/washer. Tighten the four (4) locator screws. CAUTION: Do not lean on the
lower door while attaching the coin slides.
7. Replace the driver bracket. On the VERTICAL style you may need to push slightly in
on the slide to align the holes for the screws on the slide and driver bracket. The flipper
must fit flush against the back edge of the slide lip for correct operation. (See illustration
# A, item #4). Secure with the 10/32 kep nuts removed earlier, then the Phillips head
screw in the center of the bracket. Connect the flipper spring to the return spring bracket
(See illustration # B, item#4). On a FLAT style slide, attach the driver using the 10/32
screws and kep nuts removed earlier (Illustration # C, items #'s 4 &5).
8. Using coins without product in the magazine, check operation of the coin slide and
clearance of the driver bracket through the magazine, also that the package weight
moves freely up and down the magazine. Insert coin box to collect coins with the angled
side facing the back of vender.
9. Now test vend using product with the package weight. Check product delivery and
positive lock out of the empty weight when the column is empty.

Product Display Area
This will identify and advertise the items your vender sells.
For Bag vender:
The display area of your vender has been factory installed. The artwork should promote
bag sales while showing customers what the actual product looks like. Be sure the vend price
on your coin slide matches the vend price on your door.
For Soap vender:
Mount product cards behind plexiglass, not on plexiglass. Remove the 8/32" kep nuts
from inside of upper door and remove plexiglass. Line up product display card with small
horizontal line on vender door. This will center product card above correct coin slide. Reattach
plexiglass.
Fill you machine with product. Be sure to leave enough room at the top of each column to easily
top with the package weight. It's important to use these package weights for two reasons: 1)
The package weights help product to vend smoothly and 2) The package weight acts as an
empty indicator by preventing the coin slide from accepting money when column is empty. This
new feature will help eliminate customer abuse of your machine by taking the product column
out of use when empty.
Cleaning Your Vender
Clean your machine regulary and it will perform profitably for you for many years. Wipe out the
inside of the magazine assembly and the product delivery slide using a hot, damp cloth to
remove wax, ink and soap accumulation or buid-up. Follow cleaning with application of auto
wax.
Troubleshooting

A. Possibly a stuck box in magazine above vend area. Check boxes for correct square seal and
