4.1.2. Cleaning the plastic parts
The coin passage inside the Coin Mechanism
leaves some waste which periodically should
be removed. To carry out the cleaning it is
necessary to remove the tube box (see para.
2.1.4. “Configuration of the tube box”) and
remove the conveyor by acting on the side
clips.

The tube box and the conveyor are both made
of plastic materials and can be cleaned by
soaking them in water and detergent. Rinse
the parts carefully by using plenty of running
water.
4.1.3. Cleaning the photocells and the tube box
To maintain the perfect transparency in front of the
photocells for controlling the coin level inside the
tubes, it is necessary to carry out a periodical cleaning.
Remove the tube box, manually empty the coins from
the tube box from the coins and use some compressed
air to remove some dust particles or other material
both in the tube box and the control holes of the
photocells.
Do not use abrasive products for cleaning the Coin
Mechanism (see para. 5. “Warnings”).
For each level there are 5 photocells, three for each
tube, which are placed in correspondence of the holes
for controlling the coin level inside the tubes (see
para. 1.3.6. “Tube Group”).
