I.
GENERAL
NEVER EXPERIMENT with any of the mechanism. Locate any trouble
with the aid of Wiring Diagrams or Operating
&
Servicing Infor-
rna.
tion sunulied wi th the machine, then check for
pr-ope r-
ad just...
~ ..
ment of the units involved before making any changes. Improper
•
adjustment or make-shift repair will only cause serious damage
to other parts of the machine or repeated failure of the part.
NOTE: Always look for a possible loose wire, bad
connection at a plug and socket, broken or
unhooked springs on step-up units, relays,
etc., before adjustments are made or wires
r-e
conne cted.
2. FUSES
IMPORTANT: Never replace fuses with any rating other than spec-
ified on the fuse block; this block is located adjacent to the
transformer.
3,
LUBRICAT ION
Over-lubrication causes far more trouble in coin operated equip-
ment than under-lubrication~ Practically all cases of poor con-
tact on switches and wiper discs are due to oil or grease, or oil
vapor, which forms a film or residue on the contacts and will not
alloW current to pass through. Excess lubricant may also seep in-
to clutches causing them to slip.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER
USE
VASELINE FOR LUBRICATION
OF
ANY
PART OF THE
0
MACHINE. Vaseline is not a true lubricant. It leaves a dirty and
gummy residue and it becomes very thick when cold. A soecial Coin
Machine Lubricant is supplied with each machine.
STEP-UP Levers, Ratchets, Cams, Shafts and other sliding or os-
cillating parts should be very lightly greased with soecial Coin
Machine Lubricant (su~plied with machine) not oftene* than every
six months. The bakelite discs (biscuits) on the Motor Units and
Step-up Units will require
Lubr-Lc
a
td.on
with
the sne c
La
L Coin
Machine Lubricant only after the grease 1s completely evaporated
(3 to 12 months, degending on climate) or when the film of grease
becomes dirty. In either event, clean the parts thoroughly with
a solvent, then a9ply an extremely thin coat of the soecial grease.
Solenoid Plungers should not have a lubricant of any kind.
Should there be a sluggish tendency or if p Lunge r s are sticking"
the parts should be cleaned with a solvent and flaked graohite
applied on reassembly.
4.
REL.AY
and S WITCH ADJUSTMENT
VVhere relay adjustments are called for, before bending
blades, in all cases" on any machine, make certain that
the screws holding the switch stacks are down very tightly.
This is sugges ted because the plastic spacers in the
IA
swi tch stacks have occasionally shrunk by drying out,
•. '
causing a poor adjustment"
