the legs are the means of leveling the machine. After posi-

tioning the machine, level machine in front to rear and right

to left directions. After leveling, turn front right (lock side)

leveling screw in about one-half turn to drop this corner

slightly to make the door easier to close and lock.

2. Voltage and Polarity Check. It is important that this

machine is hooked up to the proper voltage and polarity.

Using a voltmeter, perform the following checks from the

illustration shown.

(A) (B)

(C)

(A) to (B) = 117 VAC (+

Figure 1. Moving shelf into loading position.

Figure 2. Placement of product on main product snack

shelves and front end position of spiral.

Figure 4. Alignment of moveable product spacers.

Figure 3. Removing and installing spiral.

3. Loading Snack Shelves. Open door to full open position,

push down on white and gray plastic lock levers (Figure

1.) on right side panel by shelf to unlock shelf, holding

lever down. Grasp the shelf slightly and pull forward until

shelf reaches its stop. The shelves tilt down (do not drop)

to make loading easier. Only one product shelf should

be In the loading position at a time. When returning a

shelf, be sure the shelf is in its full home or vend position.

Begin loading with the top shelf. Move it to the loading

position. The height spacing for items is greatest in this

shelf and the tallest bagged items should be placed there.

Soft items, such as pastry, pies, etc., should be placed in

the lowest snack shelf, making the drop distance as short

as possible.

IMPORTANT: Product must not be forced into the spiral

spaces but should fit freely. If the product is too tight, use

a larger pitch spiral. The bottom of the product should be

placed on top of the spiral wire that rests on the shelf

surface. (Figure 2.) The width of the product must be

greater than the diameter of the snack spiral. If it is

smaller, the product may fall through when it is in the front,

ready to vend position.

4. Removal of Spiral. Grasp the front of the spiral and turn

it clockwise. Lift the spiral up and off of the spiral lock and

turn the spiral counterclockwise to lock it in place. Be sure

the front end of the spiral is positioned properly (with the

front end of the spiral pointing downward on the left side).

(Figure 3.) The spiral lock is attached between the spiral

retainer tabs. Give a light forward pull on front of the spiral

to check if it is locked in place.

5. Product Spacers, 4-Selection Shelf. A product spacer is

used to reduce the width of the product area and should

be used on any 4-selection snack shelf where the product

width is 4-1/2” or less. Spacers should fit within 1/8” of the

product but should not fit tight against the product. There

are three positions in each snack space where these

spacers can be placed. To install the spacer, align the lock

ears (on the lower edge of the spacer) with one of the

three sets of slots (one front and one rear). (Figure 4.)

Push the spacer to the rear to allow the ears to enter

the slots, then allow the spacer to move forward. Be sure

the ears are in the same set of slots, front and rear.

(Figure 4.) Continue loading all spirals. Adjust with

spacers where needed in the top shelf. Return the top

shelf to the vend position and following this procedure,

load the remainder of the large spiral shelves. The shelf

divider separating the right (lock side) column from the

next column is movable to allow vending of products wider

than 5-1/2” in the second column. If this is used, the right

column must be used to vend narrower products.

6. Loading Main Product Candy Shelves. The 8-selection

(candy type) shelves are loaded similar to the 4-selection

shelves, except that, the bottom of the product sits on the

shelf in front of the spiral wire (Figure 5.) that rests on the

shelf. These products must also fit properly in the spiral

space. Do not force product into spiral. These spirals are

removed and installed the same as the large spiral (Figure

3.), except that, the front end position is different

(approximately 5 o'clock) (Figure 5.) and the front left side

of the spiral must be behind the small tab located on the left

side of the product space side wall. (Figure 5., Detail A)

7. Product Spacers, 8-selection shelf. The 8-selection

shelves are equipped with a product spacer (Figure 6.)

that can be pivoted from the right side of each product

space. These spacers should be pivoted out to hold the

product upright, but not tight against the product. Leave

about 1/8" clearance between the spacer and the product.

8. Product Pusher. The machine contains enough pushers

for you to install a pusher on each candy spiral.This plastic

part is designed to push the top of the product forward

while it is vending, helping it to fall from the shelf. It can also

be used with products that have the wrapper end flap on

the outside of the package. In this case, the pusher

prevents these products from hanging on the spiral by

spreading the flap. The pusher is installed approximately

210 degrees from the front end of the spiral with the tab

extending forward. (Figure 7.) Locate the pusher in its

proper position, hold it against the spiral wire and push the

semi-circular part around the spiral wire.

Note: Not every selection spiral will need a product

pusher. (Example: box items)

shelves and front end of spiral.

candy upright.

9. Bagged or Boxed Items in the 8-selection shelves, if not

loaded properly, could be a problem.The sealed edge of

the bag may get under the spiral wire causing the product

to hang up after it has been vended. It is recommended

that the lower edge of these types of product be folded

forward and up (Figure 8.) next to the product before

inserting into the spiral space. It is also recommended to

use an 18 count spiral for bagged items because of the

product settling to the bottom of the package.

10. Cigarette Vending from Snackshop LCM5. Cigarettes

can be vended from the candy shelves using the 10

capacity spiral for the soft pack regular, king, 100mm or

120mm packs. The 8 capacity spiral should be used for

box packs.

11. Lock Product Shelves. After all the product has been

loaded, be sure all shelves are returned to their vend

position behind the front roller guide.

12. Install Proper Price Tabs into price tab holder for each

selection in the main product area. (Figure 9.)
