sorter cleaning / jam removal
1. General Cleaning
The Sorter should be kept clean and free
from dirt and dust. Clean the outside with a
soft cloth and a mild soap. NEVER use alco-
hol, Ketone, or any harsh chemicals on the
outside surfaces. NEVER spray any liquid
directly onto the Control or inside the Sorter.
A small portable vacuum is handy for remov-
ing coin dust buildups from surfaces inside
the Sorter.
2. Cleaning Coin Sensors / Clearing Jams in
Sorting Area
Should a badly bent or mutilated coin or oth-
er object enter the sorting area, it could be-
come jammed and must be removed before
further operation.
The Coin Sensors, located at the coin exit
points, control the counting and must be
kept clean and free of dirt buildups, coin
dust, bag strings, etc., at all times.
Should either situation arise, proceed as fol-
lows:
a. Disconnect the Sorter from Power.
b. Lift the Top Cover for access to the
finned Elastic Drive Disc.
c. Remove the Disc by removing the Elas-
tomeric (O--Ring) Retainer and unscrew-
ing the large knob in the middle of the
Disc.
d. Referring to FIGURE #143, remove the
protective foam strip and CAREFULLY
clean the channel, then clean each
Count Sensor with a cotton--tipped swab.
e. Reverse the process to replace the Disc.
f. Close the Top Cover and replace the
Work Surface. Connect the Sorter to
Power, and, if desired, test for proper
operation with coin as follows:
