Sorry if this has been asked before But I seam to be having problems finding information on this machine.

Bought this machine used and the directions are missing pages 1 to 10 , I only got pages 11 to 31.

I bought this machine to lower the prices in my shop for my crew to nearly cost, current vending company wont drop prices bellow 200% markup.
I don't need to make money on the machine I just want to make snacks more feasible for my crew and costco is around the corner..

My questions are the following..

1. I'm using this machine to replace a GO-380 which looks like the big brother to my machine.. My machine has 2x 20oz bays and 1 bay labeled .5 liter water bottles only.
Current vending company has a 16oz energy drink Can in this bay (im not sure if that machine has diff call out for that bay than mine does) was curious if any one knows if I can put 16oz cans in this bay or if im stuck with water only (we have a water dispensing unit already)

2. The directions say to pull out the middle section of the 20oz bays to load the back portion first then the front when stocking, I was looking at the machine (haven't stocked it yet) should it take much effort to pull those panels out? I tugged on them but stop for fear of bending them.

3. on page 14 of my manual it talks about resizing the 20oz bays with spacers to fit shorter bottles.. Are these the plates im seeing that separate the front and back loads or is this another part that I should worry about buying?

4. has any one tried to vend cigarettes from the "Candies" rows on this machine? or know if its possible?

5. my machine came with a bill reader.. but the bill reader says $1 nothing about $5 bills and i haven't had a chance to try it.. is it possible to put a new bill reader in that accepts $5's as well? if so is there a special model i need to get or would most any reader work?


Sorry for all the questions.. Genesis doesn't want to talk to me unless I pay them..

Any and all information is greatly appreciated.. and if someone can point me to a pdf of the completed manual for this machine that would be super great!

Thanks ahead of time!
