Figure 4-3 Removal of Coin Mechanism
Cleaning of Coin Paths
- - - - - - - CAUTION - - - - - - - - .
The
use
of an abrasive
(such as steel wool or
a
wire
brush) or a
lubrication on a
coin
mechanism will
result in a rapid buildup of
residue.
By talking
to many
operators, we
have found that
the best
method
of cleaning a coin
mechanism is by us-
ing hot
or boiling water and a
mild detergent.
A
toothbrush
may
be
used for those
stubborn
buildups of
residue.
After cleaning, flush thoroughly with hot or
boiling
water,
then blow
out
all water with compressed
air.
Figure 4-4 shows the surfaces to clean inside the
coin mechanism. These include the inside surface of the

MAGNET)

Clean Inside the Coin
Mechanism
mainplate, and the corresponding surface of the gate
assembly. There may also be metal particles clinging to
the magnet itself. To remove these you can guide the
point of a screwdriver or similar tool along the edge of
the magnet.
If coins are not traveling as far as the coin
mechanisms, you will need to clean the channel beneath
the coin slot.
To gain access to this channel, use a
3/8-inch wrench and remove all three nuts that secure
the cover plate (refer to Figure 4-5). Removing the plate
will provide access to the entire channel.
Also clean the inside surfaces of the secondary coin
chutes, but when doing this be careful not to damage or
bend the trip wires on the coin switches.

Lubrieation
Do
not
apply lubrication to the coin mechanisms.
The only points that may need lubrication (and only
rarely) are the shafts of the scavenger buttons (coin re-
jection buttons) where they pass through the coin door.
Apply only one drop of light machine oil, and be
positive that no oil drops down onto a coin mechanism.
Figure 4-6 shows this lubrication point.
Adjustment of Coin Switeh Trip
Wire
In order for a coin switch to operate
reliably
when a
coin travels down the secondary coin chute, the rest
position of its trip wire should be as shown in Figure 4-7.
Use extreme care when handling or touching these
wires.
