Everest VX, Operator'S Manual

Page: 7 / 71

When operating the machine you will be responsible for and be expected to:
● Have a basic knowledge of tools and be able to follow verbal commands and
instructions.
● Be able to stand on a step ladder. Operators who cannot use a step ladder will not be
able to access some of the most important systems of the machine. If you cannot
physically access your machine, you will need to have someone who can present during
machine installation and service.
● Be able to lift at least 50 lbs.
● Have the ability to operate a Windows based computer. A computer installed with a
Windows operating system is required in order to use the machine’s maintenance mode.
● Contact Everest with service issues and requests and be able to accurately describe the
issue and assist the Everest Service Team in determining next steps.
● Be available at the machine for service troubleshooting and repair should your
machine(s) require it.
● Diagnose and troubleshoot machine issues with help of Everest Service Team.
● Fix and repair issues and install parts that are provided by Everest Service Team or
contract that work out to a third party if necessary.
● Schedule your own service visits for components that are not directly warranted by
Everest (Scotsman, MEI, USA Technologies). The Everest machine has components
that are warranted by their respective manufacturer. As the Warranty holder, you will be
responsible for scheduling service visits or component returns to the manufacturer on
these components. Scotsman has a National Service Network and can respond at your
machine location. MEI and USA Tech components may require that they are removed
and sent to the manufacturer for repair. Sometimes a “loaner” unit can be arranged or
you can purchase an additional unit to replace it while it’s being serviced.
● Properly maintain your machine according to the recommendations put forth by Everest
and any other manufacturer that is referenced in this manual (Scotsman, MEI, USA
Technologies, Everpure, etc.).
● Keep the machine at the proper operating temperature stated in this manual. Allowing
your machine to operate outside of the outlined operating temperatures could result in
failures within the machine and/or loss of the machine’s warranty.
An Everest Ice and Water Vending machine can make you money while you are out working
your current job and even while you sleep and typically do not need much daily attention.
However, this is a business like any other and will require the business owner to be engaged
and responsible for certain aspects of your new business and its operation, service and
maintenance. This is a guide and outline of some of the things that you may need to be aware
of so that you can be a successful Ice and Water Vending machine operator.
