ADJUSTMENT
All Ultimechs are adjusted at the factory for maximum performance and no adjustment
should be necessary. If the mech has been disassembled or if more critical adjustments
are desired, the following adjustment procedure is recommended (make sure that the
mech is upright and level):
GATE
To adjust for slightly thicker coins or improve acceptance. turn the gate adjustment screw
clockwise. To adjust for thinner coins or improve security, turn the screw counterclockwise.
MAGNET
Turn the magnet holder adjust screw counterclockwise until a coin dropped into the mech
will not pass. Turn the screw clockwise until the coin just passes through. Turn the screw a
further 1/2 turn clockwise for proper operation.
SEPARATOR
Loosen the screw holding the separator. Align the right edge of the separator with the
innermost mark on the back of the main bezel. This is the standard adjustment and
should be acceptable for most locations. As coins are dropped through, observe where
the coin hits the separator. By moving the separator back and forth slightly, the desired
acceptance of good versus bad coins can be obtained. Tighten the screw and retest to be
sure of proper operation.
The entry restrictor, cradle and sizing lever are specially tooled are not adjustable.
MAINTENANCE
The mech can be cleaned with any mild cleaner or even in a dishwasher. Rinse and
dry completely. Make sure that the cradle and sizing lever move freely.
Do not use grease or oil on any part of the mech as this will attract dust and dirt which
will slow down the coin and cause poor acceptance.
The magnet can be cleared of metal filings by guiding the edge of a screwdriver along
the inside edges of the magnet holder. The filings will stick to the screwdriver.
