3.3. FUNCTIONAL CHECK PROCEDURES

The service technician calibrates and prepares the equipment for operation. The technician also  
maintains the equipment on a regular preventive maintenance schedule. No other maintenance or  
service personnel are authorized to perform calibration or repair of the FLEX LS. If the machine requires  
maintenance or repair, contact the authorized service personnel using the number posted inside the  
front door of the machine.

3.3.1. ATTENDANT TRAINING AND DEMONSTRATION

Envipco will conduct training for the machine attendants on the same day as installation.  
We recommend that all machine attendants and store managers attend this training session. 

The training topics include: general operation, replacing the printer paper, emptying the bins, performing 
minor troubleshooting, cleaning the machine, care of the machine, access levels to the machine, and  
performing minor safety inspections.
