Clear a coin jam
When a coin jam occurs, the meter maintenance staff will be notified via email or text
message. These jams typically occur due to the insertion of foreign material or insertion
of multiple coins all at once, both with the intention of jamming the meter. Otherwise, the
design of the meter is such that coin jams will happen very infrequently. If a coin
blockage does occur:
1. Remove the screw from the front of the meter
2. Pull the validator from the rear of the meter housing by pressing on the spring
loaded retention clip
3. The jam will be visible due to the design of the clear validator cover. Any thin
object (such as a screw-driver) can be used to remove the jam. In rare cases,
complete disassembly of the validator can be accomplished by removing the
screws at the corners of the validator assembly
4. With the jam cleared, insert the validator into its original position, clipping into
place
5. Replace the front validator screw
