SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE
Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance will improve performance
and extend the life of your COINCO FOUR-
TUBE changer and reduce the need for more
involved repairs. Frequency of maintenance
will depend on environment and number of
transactions.
The coin changer should be kept in its original
shipping carton when not in use. This will keep
the changer clean and offer the best protection
for the unit.
Cleaning
The majority of your COINCO FOUR-TUBE
changer is manufactured from a high-quality
plastic, which should be cleaned with a warm
water and mild detergent solution.
CAUTION:
•
Never submerge changer in water.
•
Do NOT use petroleum solvents,
steel wool, scouring pads, or metal
brushes for cleaning.
•
Do not spray any part of the changer
with any type of lubricant.
Since all coins share a common coin ramp,
heavy usage or a dirty environment can result in
dirt build-up in the acceptor. To clean the coin
ramp, lift the acceptor gate upward and diago-
nally to the right. Hold the gate to prevent it
from snapping back. Wipe the exposed coin
ramp and inner surfaces with a damp cloth. Be
cautious not to harm the coin stabilizer (clear,
thin piece of film). If the coin stabilizer looks
buckled, wrinkled, or is peeling off, replace it at
this time.
For excessively dirty units, use a damp cloth
with a mild detergent. DO NOT SUBMERGE
UNIT IN WATER.
For more detailed cleaning of the acceptor,
remove the front cover by opening the coin tube
loading door and wedge your thumb underneath
the front cover. To remove the cover, push out
and up. Next, remove the intermediate cover
using a small screwdriver to release tab on the
right side of the acceptor. Pivot the intermedi-
ate cover out towards the left. Lift the metal
debounce rail out of the acceptor. You are now
able to fully clean the interior coin rail, gates
and the intermediate cover (pay attention to the
mirrored surface on the intermediate cover).
Reassemble the acceptor in the reverse order.
NOTE: When installing the intermediate cover,
make sure the metal debounce rail is in place
and raise the anti-stringing door on the accept/
reject gate before snapping the cover in place.
Removing/Replacing
Individual Assemblies
ACCEPTOR
To remove the acceptor, press down on the
acceptor latch and pull the top of the acceptor
forward and away from the changer housing.
Unplug the ribbon cable from the changer.
Raise the acceptor and pull outward until the
acceptor clears the housing slots.
FRONT COVER AND TUBE SHIELD
Remove the front cover by gently pulling
forward on the front cover while spreading the
sides of the changer housing apart. There are 3
tabs on each side of the front cover that hold it
in place. Lift the tube shield off the top of the
coin tubes.
REMOVING THE TUBES
The tubes are held in place by 3 sets of tabs that
secure it to the payout base.
To remove the tubes, start with the tube on the
left side and pull it straight up. Working your
way to the right, remove all four tubes.
