Dealer Bulletin B22DB94037; November 11, 1994

Gentlemen:

We have attached documents with the titles indicated below. The first explains a tragic event. The second tells how your customers must test the machines in the field. (It also contains important additional safety instructions.) It is important to get these documents and their enclosures to all users of our coin machines with locking-type door interlocks.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL USERS OF COIN MACHINES WITH DOOR LOCKS THAT PREVENT THE DOOR FROM BEING OPENED WHILE THE MACHINE IS RUNNING

SAFETY FOR COIN OPERATED WASHER-EXTRACTORS (The pink pages 5 and 6 of this are entitled as follows:)

HOW TO TEST YOUR MILNOR COIN OPERATED WASHER-EXTRACTOR'S ELECTRONIC COIN COUNTER AND LOCKING-TYPE DOOR INTERLOCK

1. We have sent these documents and enclosures to every user of our coin machines for which we have original user names and addresses.

A list of the coin machines you sold is enclosed herewith. We have indicated those to whom we have sent this information directly to the address shown (the presumed "known address").

1a. If you are aware of any new or different location for any of the machines with a "known address", it is important that you immediately advise us how many of our coin machines are at that location and the proper name, address, zip code, etc. so we can send the documents and enclosures to the correct address.

1b. It is important to also get these documents and enclosures to the users of all machines for which we do not have valid end user addresses. To achieve this, we will either:

(1) send the information direct to each presently unknown user if you will promptly advise us the proper name, address, zip code, etc. plus how many machines are at the location (plus the serial numbers of each machine if possible), or

(2) we will send you individual envelopes for each serial number you sold-so you can forward these on to your customers.

We cannot over emphasize how important it is for this information to get to every user of our coin machines that have locking-type door interlocks.

1c. Separately, we are sending you a small (surplus) quantity of additional envelopes, each containing one set of documents and enclosures (with English labels). Feel free to give them to our users-but be sure to tell us to whom they were given so we can keep our records straight. Just let us know if you need more. We also have Spanish labels. Just tell us how many you would like.

2. We want to recall all the old style "separate" electronic coin counters. (Figs. A & B on the enclosed photo) that were and/or still are used with our coin machine models CWE,CWW,C4T,C5T,K4T,K5T that have electromechanical timers. (This recall does not apply to our microprocessors models C4A, C5A, K4A, K5A which have coin counters integrated into the microprocessor controls.)

2a. If you have in stock any old style unused separate electronic coin counters that look like Figs. A and B, call Terry Doyle (504-467-9591 ext. 324) for a Returned Goods Tag. When you return them to us, we will replace them with the new style free of charge, provided you paid for them in the first place. (You must give us our P-invoice number under which you paid for these.)

2b. If you have any used coin counters, please send them back to us or scrap them so they cannot be reused in the future. The reason for this is explained in paragraph 5, page 3 of the attached bulletin B22DB94038.

3. For your information, our latest coin counter (Fig. C) has been furnished for all our electromechanical timer operated machines for approximately the last 2
