Column Gate Spacing Adjustment

Keep your Nevada Gold™ in top performance by performing seasonal care and maintenance.

Your model of the Nevada Gold Pull Tab Dispenser has been manufactured to exceed mechanical and electronic standards. The following information will assist you in the care and maintenance of your unit.

  • Wipe the unit with a damp cloth and a drop of liquid fabric softener to keep it looking new. Do not use any abrasive cleaning materials or solvents to clean your model.
  • Handle any removed parts gently and carefully. Dropping or mishandling parts can damage electronic components.
  • Use plastic cleaning implements or a soft cloth to remove dust from inside the unit. Metal tools can damage electronic parts.
  • Use light lubricants and precision oiling implements to lubricate the gears, shafts and the chute door.
  • Use Compressed air duster to blow out any dust or lint.
