Title: How full should I let the hopper get? Post by: dieselburner on July 23, 2011, 11:42:39 AM I use arcade tokens in my slot. When I filled up the hopper the tokens went over the full sensor which was screwed in about half way up which caused the coins to be rejected into the bottom of the stand. I moved the full sensor up to the highest hole. Is there a preferred setting for the full sensor? Could the hopper break if I leave it like this or could it cause other problems? Thanks

Make sure your machine is grounded correctly or you will experience a horrendous electrical shock when you put your hand into the drop bucket. The shock itself won't kill you but it's enough to send someone completely startled flying backwards into something that will hurt you...such as a concrete floor or down a flight of stairs!...believe me...I've seen it happen! We had to get a ski-pole with a automobile battery clamp and touch the coins with that pole wearing thick rubber gloves! The problem had laid with the building's ground not properly working correctly with the machine outlets! We have an old black& white video somewhere of a floor employee flying backwards about 18 - 20 feet and then down the stairs to the basement! Luckily they didn't get hurt!

Post by: poppo on July 25, 2011, 10:59:21 AM I'm not usually one who is for suing over everything, but I hope that lady got a good payout. What a bunch of idiots for leaving it open like that. At a minimum they should have made sure she knew it was open by having her turn around and look.

That looked like that would have hurt! She had NO CHANCE...ouch! I worked 20 years on skyscrapers and bridges...you would not believe how many workers walk right off the edge like that. OSHA started pushing 100% tie-off to safety lines...saved a lot of lives. At the very least - that lady needed to be warned and a barrier placed around that opening. But since it was probably in a mom & pop store - they probably let her have the week off with pay... :25- Title: Re: How full should I let the hopper get?
