Installing Front Load Changers - Wall mount
Type of wall construction: For maximum security, it is recommended that the changer be
installed on a wall made of cement block, brick or other type of masonry, not a stud wall
covered by plaster board.
The mounting holes on the back of the changer will accommodate four 1/4-inch diameter
bolts.
WARNING:
CHANGERS MOUNTED ON THE BASES ARE TOP HEAVY. The changer must be
secured to a rigid vertical surface, as well as to the stand to provide appropriate security, stability, and
safety.
Installing Front Load Changers - Vending Bases & Pedestal Stands
If the wall to which the changer will be mounted does not meet the construction standards
above, we recommend the Standard Change-Makers stand. Mounting holes are provided
on the bottom for mounting the stand to the floor. Cabinets are provided with mounting
holes on the top surface for mounting the changer to the stand. A drill template is
included with the stand. When utilizing the stand, we recommend that the machine be
bolted to the wall as well as to the stand.
If the changer is to be mounted to a post, the post should be sunk in concrete for stability.
It is also recommended that the post be filled with concrete for strength. A steel plate
approximately the same dimensions, as the changer should be welded to the post. Bolt the
changer to the steel plate through the four 1/4-inch mounting holes drilled into the plate.
Tack weld the heads of the mounting bolts to prevent their removal. Four nuts and
washers inside the changer can then secure the changer. If this method is not feasible the
bolts can be bent after installation to prevent removal.
WARNING!!!
Welding the cabinet to any kind of mounting could cause damage to electrical
components within the machine! Warping of the cabinet may also occur. Welding of any
kind to the cabinet during installation will void the manufacturer’s warranty!
If welding is ultimately necessary, all components within the machine must be
removed prior to welding! Please contact our Service Department with any questions.
Installing Rear Load Changers
The rear load changer cabinet must slide through the hole in the wall. The stainless front
plate, which extends 2 inches beyond the cabinet on both sides and top and bottom, must
be tight against the wall surface. The cabinet is 13-18 inches deep. Its protrusion into the
back room will be the difference between this depth and the thickness of your wall.
Allow for proper door swing. Angle iron should be used for securing the changer in
place. One side of the angle iron should be secured to the side of the cabinet while the
other side of the angle iron secures against the inside of your wall.
