Clear a card jam
Thanks to a new design feature, any coins jammed into the card reader slot are
automatically cleared with the insertion of a credit card. The coins will fall through an
opening in the card reader, thereby clearing the card path. Coins that fall into the meter
mechanism housing may be removed at a later time.
In rare cases where coins are maliciously jammed or for the removal of foreign material
in the card reader, any thin sturdy device, such as a letter opener can be used to clear
foreign objects.
It may also be useful to remove the card reader entry slot to clear the jam. To do this,
remove the two screws on the rear of the meter as indicated in the image below:
