EastWest Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Found this in the bottom of my 501E... can anybody tell me where it came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I think that's the clip that goes on the oscillator to prevent cans/bottles from sliding forward (and out), particularly if someone tries to rock the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Chris is correct. It's only found on DN machines and only on E model wide columns. The nice thing about them is they are replaceable where the older style metal anti-tilt devices were not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastWest Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Thanks guys... I thinks the nice folks at this account have been rocking the machine for freebies which explains the big mess all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdef215 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Amazing you guys were just talking about this today. I have a 276e with the metal style clips. Think the previous owner either bent a few of them way up or had product snag it somehow. Either case, I applied pressure to force them down some. Still seems to not let cans vend occasionally. Should I be looking to get those things out of there? The location is under video surveillance so I’m not to worried about the machines being rocked.

AZVendor Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 If the metal ones are even slightly deformed with the edges not meeting each other where they join then you should remove them as they will jam cans or cut cans. One and done for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 90% of my jammed can problems were because of the metal ones when they are bent. Don't bother trying to fix them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdef215 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Thanks for the answers guys! Going off memory here until I get back to the machine but I think they were riveted? You guys have to cut them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in the picture is for the wide column. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Yeah, now I realize that he added in to the wrong thread about the clips since the "rivet" comment refers to the rotors not the oscillator bars. The rotor can retainers just need to be bent back and forth until they break off and then if any sharp edges remain those need to be pounded down flat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdef215 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Thanks! Sorry I didn’t specify but yes they are the narrow columns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Carroll Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Have a DN 5591 that I stopped the shaking with a 7” 2x4. I screwed a joist hanger sideways into the top back of the machine and one to the wall. Slid the 2x4 into the joist hangers, a few small screws to secure the 2x4 in place and no more shaking. It doesn’t stop side shaking but that wasn’t an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastWest Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Do I need one or two of these clips for 3-deep cans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacanteen Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Don't worry about having the clip in the machine. If some moron wants to try to tip a loaded machine for a free can that might fall vs. having the machine fall on him let it happen. Very few of my 800+ Dixie Narco machines have them any more.
