A COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
The Vendo Company is committed to safety in every aspect of our product design. Vendo
is committed to alerting every user to the possible dangers involved in improper handling
or maintenance of our equipment. The servicing of any electrical or mechanical device
involves
potential hazards
, both to those servicing the equipment and to users of the
equipment. These hazards can arise because of improper maintenance techniques.
The purpose of this manual is to alert everyone servicing Vendo equipment of potentially
hazardous areas, and to provide basic safety guidelines for proper maintenance.
This manual contains various
warnings
that should be carefully read to minimize the risk
of personal injury to service personnel. This manual also contains service information
to insure that proper methods are followed to avoid damaging the vendor or making it
unsafe. It is also important to understand these warnings are not exhaustive. Vendo
could not possibly know, evaluate, or advise of all of the conceivable ways in which service
might be done. Nor can Vendo predict all of the possible hazardous results. The safety
precautions outlined in this manual provide the basis for an effective safety program.
Use these precautions, along with the service manual, when installing or servicing the
vendor.
We strongly recommend a similar commitment to safety by every servicing organization.
Only properly-trained personnel should have access to the interior of the machine.
This will minimize the potential hazards that are inherent in electrical and mechanical
devices. Vendo has no control over the machine once it leaves the premises. It is the
owner or lessor’s responsibility to maintain the vendor in a safe condition. See Section
I of this manual for proper installation procedures and refer to the appropriate service
manual for recommended maintenance procedures. If you have any questions, please
contact the Technical Services Department of the Vendo office nearest you.
