The trays are pulled out by pushing up the locking lever and gently pulling out the tray until it comes to its stop point, the trays can then be tilted forward to allow easier loading of product.

After loading the tray it is very important that the trays are pushed back securely so they locate with the socket at the rear of the machine the   locking lever pushed must then be down. The trays can be tilted forward to allow easier loading of product.

  

 

To load, pull out one tray at time and loading from the rear of the machine to the front. Make sure that all products fit loosely within their spirals and that there are no gaps. Also make sure that any fragile items are placed on the lower shelves.

 

It is extremely important that the shelves are pushed back securely. The bottom trays do not tilt.

  

 

When the shelves are put back in the machine and the machine is switched back on or the door switch is switched on or off, the software automatically checks that the trays are correctly pushed home. The software will then identify if any of the trays have been pushed back incorrectly or if any of the motors are not connected. The display will show which motors are being used

  

 

These allow products to be separated and each tray can be configured to sell the desired item. With a 10 selection tray found in the MX10, there is room to have 5 double width compartments. In order to change the compartment width, the tray needs to be removed from the machine and the locating hooks which hold the compartment dividers need to be removed. This will allow the individual compartment dividers to be removed or added. The hooks are located under the tray.

 

 

  

 

If it is necessary to alter the position of a shelf in a machine, the following procedure must be followed. First remove the shelf completely from the machine and using the holes that run vertically the height of the machine, decide the new position for the shelf slide. Then carefully removing the fixing screws M4, take out the left hand and the right hand slides. Reposition the two horizontal slides making sure that they are located correctly. Then move the connector so that the tray when it is pushed in on its new position it mates with the rear socket. The rear socket is fitted with two screws.

 

Check that the tray slides easily in and out.

 

    ATTENTION. If it is necessary to move a special HQBO bottle tray, always make sure that the connector and the tray plug locates properly. The HQBO bottle tray needs the rear tray socket to be in a different position from a conventional all spiral tray.

           

     ATTENTION.  IF THE MACHINE HAS A LIFT IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO REPROGRAM THE LIFT SO THAT IT STOPS AT THE CORRECT SHELF HEIGHT.

 

 

The rear shelf plate supports the motors which drive the spirals. As well as the keeping the separators in position

 

To remove the motors unplug them from the wiring harness and simply pull up the motor with the spiral.

 

To convert a tray with 8 single or 10 single motors to a 4 double spiral or 5 double spirals it is necessary to change the motors and to alter the dividers to make the shelf into 4 selections or 8 selections.

 

It is also necessary to assign the new motors

to the price linked to price line software.

 

 

 

·         ATTENTION. After changing a single spiral drive for a double spiral drive

 

 

 

The spirals which are made from stainless steel can be changed to suit the dimensions of most products. Each rotation of 360 degrees vends one product. The spirals are supplied in different pitches, the wider the pitch the less items per selection.

Generally the spirals vary in pitch from 14.5mm.to 75mm. Crisps and snacks are dispensed using a single motor driving two spirals through a gearbox. One spiral turns clockwise and the other anti-clockwise within a double compartment. The left hand spiral must be clock wise the right hand spiral anti clock wise

A bridge rail can be fitted inside the spirals to vend Cans, PET bottles, Tetra pack etc

A motor fitted with a special cam will allow the sale of tubes of sweets or gums and mint by only rotating through 180 degrees.

 

Spirals. When installing spirals make sure that they are for left hand or right hand

 

 

The door interlock switch is located under the coin box support.

When the door is open, the door switch stops the machine from taking coins. To override the switch, pull out the switch then the software will go through its checking routine.
