TRAY LOADING AND SPRING ADJUSTMENT
As you are loading trays, observe the tray level. The top of the stack should be
maintained at a comfortable height. If the level is too high or too low, springs will
have to be added or removed to attain the desired height. To ensure smooth oper-
ation, use a similar number of springs on both sides of the platform. This is done
by connecting or disconnecting the springs from the bottom retainer bracket.
OPEN TRAY RACK: Access the springs by removing panels on the inside of
each side panel of the cart. Remove center tray platform, then lift out and remove
elevator, Open panels on inner walls of the uprights to access springs.
CANTILEVER TRAY RACK: Access the springs by removing the screws
(Phillips screwdriver required) and then remove the panel on the back of the up-
right on the cart.
ENCLOSED TRAY RACK: Access the springs by lifting the entire tray lowerator
assembly out of the cabinet.
1) Place 12 trays in the unit. The top tray should self-level one or two trays
above the top edge.
2) If the top tray is below the top edge, remove all the trays. Attach one or more
springs to the bottom bracket. If two springs are attached (enclosed and
open dispensers), be sure to attach one to each side. Replace trays and
check tray level. Repeat if needed.
3) If the top tray is more than two trays above the top edge, remove trays, and
detach one or two springs to the bracket. If two springs are detached (open
and enclosed dispensers), be sure to detach one from each side. Replace
the trays and check tray level. Repeat if needed.
4) When the dispenser is fully loaded with trays, the top tray will be several
inches above the top edge of the dispenser. When the dispenser has only a
few trays left, the top tray will be about even with the top edge.
After adjustment, replace panels (cantilever and open tray racks) or re-insert the
tray lowerator assembly back into the cabinet (enclosed tray racks)
