COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
Automated Merchandising Systems Inc. is committed to
designing and producing a safe product. As with all electrical or
mechanical pieces of equipment, some potential hazards exist. It
is the intent of Automated Merchandising Systems, through this
manual and service technician training, to alert individuals who
will be servicing our equipment to these potential hazards, and to
provide basic safety guidelines.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, please read and
follow all warnings in this manual. It is important that we point out
that these warnings are not comprehensive. Automated
Merchandising Systems cannot possibly anticipate all of the
ways that service may be conducted, or all of the possible safety
hazards that may result from service. Therefore at all times we
urge you to beware of hazards such as electrical shock,
mechanical entrapment, and tipping a vendor during movement.
Automated Merchandising Systems strongly recommends a
commitment to safety on the part of all servicing personnel or
organizations. Only personnel properly trained in vendor
servicing should attempt any service to the internal components
of the vendor. Automated Merchandising Systems has no
control over the vendor once it leaves our factory.
Maintaining the vendor in a safe condition is the sole
responsibility of the owner.
If you have questions concerning safety or service, or would like
more information, please contact the Automated Merchandising
Systems Service Department at 304-725-6921 or e-mail
info@amsvendors.com.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Below are listed safety precautions and safe practices to follow
to avoid injury from selected hazards. This list cannot possibly
cover all hazards, therefore please remember to
To Protect Yourself from Injuries
Plan ahead to employ proper personal protective equipment
(PPE), including safety glasses, slip resistant steel-toed boots
and leather/protective gloves. Don’t place hands against edges
of metal drawers or bare parts inside the machine. Beware that
parts on the inside of the Vending Unit can be sharp.
High Voltage Contact
Each vendor is designed to operate on a specific voltage, either
single phase 115VAC 60Hz or 220-240VAC 50-60Hz, depending
on the country. The voltage is specified on the serial plate. (See
MODEL IDENTIFICATION
on page 1.) High voltage areas
include the electrical panel. It is important to understand that
contact with the high voltage wiring can result in injury or death.
a. Always test the outlet for proper voltage, polarity
and grounding before plugging in the vendor.
b. Always disconnect power to the vendor before
servicing. Allow only fully trained service
technicians to service the vendor.
c. Always keep electrical connections dry. Do not
place the vendor in or near standing water.
d. Never use a worn or damaged power cord.
e. Always wear hand and eye protection when
servicing the vendor.
Grounding
Some electrical components have a green or green/yellow
ground wire attached to a grounding point in the vendor. If it
becomes necessary to remove a ground wire during service,
note how the wire is attached, including the locations of any
washers. After servicing, make sure that the wires and washers
are replaced exactly as they were. Note that the vendor may
appear to work normally without the ground wires, but there will
be a potential shock hazard from ungrounded components.
a. Always test the outlet for proper grounding before
plugging in the vendor.
b. Always reconnect ground wires after servicing.
c. Test the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
periodically to insure proper operation. (See
REPLACING THE POWER CORD AND GFCI
TEST
on page 37.)
Helix Motion and Jamming
Energized vend motors can turn a helix with considerable torque,
creating a possible entrapment hazard. Also, turning helices may
eject tools or other objects left on trays. A helix that is jammed or
caught can store energy as it binds, which can cause it to twist
or spring outward suddenly even if power is disconnected. Use
gloves and caution when freeing a jammed helix.
a. Always disconnect power to the vendor or control
board before servicing the vend motors.
b. Always check for proper fit when loading products
in helices to avoid jamming.
c. Always restrain the helix before freeing a jammed
or caught helix.
d. Always wear hand and eye protection when
servicing the vendor.
e. Always keep hands, hair, loose clothing and tools
away from moving parts.
Vendor Tipping
The weight of an empty vendor is over 450 pounds, and can be
more than 600 pounds! A falling vendor can cause serious injury
or death. Caution should always be taken to avoid dropping or
tipping a vendor.
a. Never rock or tip the vendor. It must be kept
vertical for safe operation.
b. Never place the vendor in an inclined position,
such as on a ramp or with all the legs not on the
same horizontal surface.
