SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance will improve the perfor-
mance and extend the life of your Guardian
changer while reducing the need for more in-
volved repairs. Frequency of maintenance will
depend on environment and number of transac-
tions.
Cleaning
The majority of your Guardian Series changer is
manufactured from high-quality industrial grade
plastic and should be cleaned with a warm water
and detergent solution.
CAUTION
:
•
Never submerge the changer in water
•
Do not use petroleum solvents, steel wool,
scouring pads, or metal brushes for
cleaning.
•
Do not spray any part of the changer with
any type of lubricant.
Since all coins share a common inlet and coin
ramp, heavy usage or a dirty environment can
result in dirt build-up in the acceptor. Clean the
coin ramp by opening the acceptor gate to the
right. Hold the gate to prevent it from snapping
back. Wipe the exposed coin ramp and inner
surfaces with a damp cloth. For excessively dirty
units, use a damp cloth and mild detergent.
DO NOT SUBMERGE UNIT IN WATER!
Maintenance / Disassembly
Removing the Acceptor
1.
Remove the acceptor from the changer
housing by pressing the acceptor latch to the
right on the front of the acceptor and then pull
the escrow lever towards you, away from
changer housing. See Figure 58.
2.
Disconnect the acceptor’s ribbon cable from
the changer housing. Lift the acceptor slightly
to free the lower acceptor studs from the
changer housing. Place the acceptor in
a clean, dry area. See Figure 59.
