How to change from a 2row column to a 3row column in a Vendo 511

[Eric Kamta]

Hello,

I have a vendo 511 and one of the columns sells Monster and it takes 2 cans.

Due to slow sales, I want to change that to regular pop and that column can take 3 cans. 

When I removed all the Monster and put the regular cans and increased the length of the column, the machine will spit out 2 cans on the first purchase then 1 can after. But I need it to spit out 1 can at a time.

So how can I reset it so that it recognizes I have 3 cans and needs to spit out 1 at a time?

Adjust your motor cam to show three notches in it.

AZVendor,

Thanks for your response.

Please can you tell me how to adjust the motor cam?

Sorry, I am fairly new in the business and this is a new location I just acquired.

 

Thanks

You are VERY new if you don't know how to do this yet.  On each motor you will see plastic timing cams with a front narrow cam in front of a rear full disk.  Where you see three holes in the wider end of the narrow cam you will flex it away from the rear cam and adjust it to the hole that will expose three notches in the rear cam at the narrow end of the front adjustable cam.

Yes I am very new, about 1 year into the business.

Thanks for your response, I will try it and let you know how it goes.

I was also wondering if there is another way/step to do this. I had some trouble when emptying the column last time. I had to reach down and remove the cans from the tray that was curved downwards and when refilling, I was not sure whether to refill from inside the tray (still curved downwards) or above the tray, if above the tray, how do I make it rotate after refilling?

I saw the previous owner do something like that. He emptied the columns (curved tray still facing down), then filled it back with the new cans, then pressed some buttons on the machine that made the curved tray to rotate and refill with cans so that it is ready for vending. 

He left the country, so I can't contact him for help.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

You can run each of the motors from the MOTOR TEST function in the service mode.
