Emptying The Coin Dispenser
The majority of coins in a dispenser can be removed from the hopper using the
bulk dump
method.
Bulk dumping refers to the manual method of tilting the coin dispenser forward in order to empty
coins from a dispenser into a container. A few coins will remain in the dispense disk following a
bulk
dump;
these coins can be removed by performing an
electronic dump
.
CAUTION
As a safety precaution you should never place your fingers in or near the coin dispense chute or in
the coin storage area of the coin dispenser when power is applied to the dispenser.

Programming the Coin Dispenser
If for any reason it becomes necessary to change the denomination of the coin to be dispensed, you
must first contact a factory authorized service center to determine if the hopper can dispense the new
coin size (diameter & thickness). If it can, then you need only to change the DIP switch setting on
the hopper dispenser board to program the hopper for the new coin value. Once this setting has been
made, press the reset button to enter in that value. The DIP switch located on the hopper control

Coin Dispenser – Bulk Dump
Bulk dumping
is performed the same way for all
standard capacity (3200 quarters) coin dispensers.
Do not use the bulk dump method to empty a high
capacity hopper unless it has only 30% or less of
the coins remaining. Coin dispensers in front load
machines tilt forward, and dispensers in rear load
machines tilt back. Always TURN POWER OFF
before bulk dumping a hopper for safety purposes.
To tilt the coin dispenser pull forward at the top
edge of the dispenser. There is a handle in the
middle of the opening to assist in bulk dumping.
