cable connectors and ground braid through cable port in back box. Screw ground braid to
braid in back box. Carefully and fully insert connectors on printed circuit assemblies.
On all games there are certain items that should be checked after shipment. These are visual
inspections which may avoid time consuming service work later. Minor troubles caused by
t^nZlT n^'? thif J
ment are unavoidab,e-Cable connectors may be loosened, switches
(especially tilt sw.tches) may go out of adjustment. Plumb bob tilt switch should always be
adjusted after game is set on location and leg levelers are adjusted.
Visual inspections before plugging in line cord:
1
.
Check that all cable connectors are completely seated on printed circuit assemblies
2. Check that cables are clear of all moving parts.
3. Check for any wires that may have become disconnected.
4Check switches for loose solder or other foreign material that may have come loose in
shipment and could cause shorting of contacts.
5. Check wires on coils for proper soldering. Cold solder connections may not show up in
factory inspection, but vibration in shipment may break contact.
6. Check that fuses are firmly seated and making good contact.
7. Check the transformer for any foreign material shorting across wiring lugs.
8. Check wiring of transformer to correspond to location voltage. See figure 1

II. GENERAL GAME OPERATION
Place ball into playfield by outhole.
Coin game. Coin should be rejected. Plug in line cord. Move power ON-OFF master switch at
bottom right front corner of cabinet to 'ON' position. The game will play apower-up tune to
announce game-readiness. Drop targets are reset, scores are set to zero, alternating with the
'High Score to Date,' and the game is ready for play. Coin game. The game should accept the
coin and post credits* for coins accepted (adjustable). Pressing the credit button on the door will
cause the outhole kicker to serve the ball to the shooter alley. The 1st player-up lite is lit. A
game-up tune* is played to announce play-readiness.
One player is posted each additional time the credit button is pressed (one to four can play) .The
credits are reduced by one each time the credit button is pressed until the credits are reduced to
zero.
Shooting the ball initiates play.
The game awards all points earned by the player. If spinner is turning and scoring when the ball
hits atarget, the spinner and the target scores are awarded.
When the ball enters the outhole, the bonus score is added to the total score. The player-up
and/or ball in play on the back box is advanced one position. The outhole kicker serves the ball
to the shooter alley and play is resumed. This continues until each player has played the
allowable number of balls per game (adjustable). At this time the 'Game Over' light is lit. A
random Match* number appears and the 'Match' light is lit. If the number is the same as the last
two digits in aplayer's score, afree game is awarded.
Extra balls won during the course of the game are played immediately after the player's regular
ball enters the outhole. The player-up and/or ball in play an the back box are not advanced for
extra ball play. Bonus score is added to the player's score before the game serves the extra ball
for play.
Scoring over 10,000,000 gives "High Score to Date" award.
At the end of the game, a'High Score to Date' is alternately flashed with all 4player scores. If the
'High Score to Date' is beat, this feature* awards free games.
Tilting the game results in loss of aball. The flippers, thumper-bumpers, etc., go 'dead.' Bonus
points are not scored. The purpose of the tilt penalty is to discourage the player from jostling the
machine in an attempt to prolong play. Game action becomes normal after the ball kicker
assembly serves the ball to the shooter alley.
Slamming the machine results in loss of the game. AH feature lights go out, the game goes
'dead,' and atime delay occurs. The purpose of the time delay is to discourage unnecessary
abuse of the machine. After the delay, the 'Game Over' light lites and the power-up tune is
played. The time delay occurs anytime one of the slam switches is made to contact. There are
two factory installed slam switches, on the front door, and one on left side of cabinet. (Any
number of slam switches could be installed by the operator, to meet his individual requirement.)
The switch should be adjusted to have approximately 1/16" gap between the contacts. The
weighted blade should be adjusted to attain the desired sensitivity. Decreasing the gap
between contacts will make the switch more sensitive. Opening the gap will reduce sensitivity.
'Some tunes and features can be disabled by operator if so desired. See Back Box Adjustments.
NOTE: Scoring and feature units will differ from game to game.

III. BOOKKEEPING FUNCTIONS
The game is designed to help the operator perform certain accounting functions. The game can
display the number of total plays and replays (free games). It can display the number of coins
dropped down each coin chute. The bookkeeping functions are displayed on all player score
displays simultaneously. An identification number, 05 to 15, appears on the Match/Ball in Play
window as follows:
05— 00 to— 40 =Current Credits
*06—100000 to—99999= Total Plays (Payed &Free Games)
*07— 10000 to—99999 -Total Replays (Free Games)
08— 00 to—99999 =Game Percentage
09— 00 to—99999 -Total times 'High Score to Date' is beat
*10— 10000 to—99999 -Coins Dropped thru Coin Chute #1
*1 1—10000 to—99999 -Coins Dropped thru Coin Chute #2**
*1 2— 10000 to—99999 =Coins Dropped thru Coin Chute #3**
*1 3—00 to—99999 =Number of Specials awarded from Panel Specials Only
*1 4—00 to—99999 =Number of minutes of Game Play
*1 5_ 00 to—99999 -Number of Service Credits
The game displays the first bookkeeping entry if the Self-Test button (See Fig. Ill) on the inside
of the front door is pressed ten times. Alternately push and release the Self-Test button at one
second intervals. The number 05 appears in the 'Match/Ball in Play' window. Current credits
appear on the playe'r score displays. Each additional press of the button causes the next entry
to be displayed.
After the data in each bookkeeping register is recorded, it can be set to zero simply by pressing
switch button S33, located on A4, the MPU module inlhe back box (See Fig. Ill), or by pressing
the Coin Chute #3 switch. Any or all registers can be cleared by alternating between the
Self-Test button and the switch button S33 on the MPU module or Coin Chute #3 switch. The
operator is given this option as a possible convenience and can elect to use or not use it as his
needs direct.
Pressing the button 5more times causes the game to play the power-up tune and light the
Game Over light.
Service credits are designed to allow the serviceman to test the game under actual play
conditions without disturbing the bookkeeping records that reside at identification numbers 06,
07,10,11 and 12.
To obtain Service Credits, push and release the Self-Test switch until identification number 05
appears in the 'Match/Ball in Play' window. Hold in the Credit button until the desired number of
Service Credits (up to five) appears on the player score displays.
NOTE: If, upon accessing identification number 05, anumber of credits greater than five is
displayed, pressing the credit button has no effect.
Identification number 15is reserved as a record of the number of Service Credits used.
The 10,000 level is pre-set at the factory; can be set io zero, initially, if desired.
"If Coin Chute is not used in game, number displayed (if other than 00) on Player Score displays has no significance.
NOTE: If "Total Play" register is reset to zeroes then "Total Replays" register should also be reset to zeroes to maintain the
game percentage value.

VIII. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON LOCATION:
Self-Test routines are written into the game design. They are particularly useful for routine
maintenance. The tests are described below. The first test is automatic and occurs on
power-up. This test causes the MPU module A4 to examine itself for failures. Seven flashes of
an LED indicates proper operation. The second series of self-diagnostic tests causes the MPU
to 'exercise' each of the other modules in such away as to make their faults, if any, obvious.
See Figure III and Page ii.
It is recommended that these tests be used several times aweek to check out the games
before play. If faults are discovered, they may be corrected on location if the operator has a
stock of replacement modules. See "Trouble Shooting on Location."
MPU Module Self-Test:
At power on, the LED on the MPU module flashes once. (Flicker-Flash). After apause, it
flashes six more times and goes out. Apower-up tune is played to announce game readiness.
This indicates proper MPU operating condition and successful completion of the power-up
test.
Game Self-Diagnostic Tests:
1. Pressing the Self-Test button inside the door initiates the Self-Test routine. See Figures III
and IV All switched lamps flash off and on continuously.
2. Pressing the Self-Test button again causes each digit on each display to cycle from thru
9, and repeat continuously.
3. Pressing the Self-Test button again causes each solenoid to be energized, one at atime,
in acontinuous sequence. Hold both flipper buttons 'in' during this test. The number
appearing on the Player Score displays is the same as the number assigned to the solenoid,
The sound of asolenoid pulling-in as anumber appears indicates proper operation. The
absence of sound is improper. If sound is absent, see Page 17 for help in Solenoid
identification.
4. Pressing Self-Test button again causes the sound module to play the "Game Over" tune
repeatedly.
5. Pressing the Self-Test button again causes the MPU to search each switch assembly for
stuck contacts. If any are found, the number of the first set encountered is flashed on the
Player Score displays. The number remains until the fault is cleared. See Page 17for help in
Stuck Switch identification. Other numbers may follow if more stuck contacts are present. If
there are no stuck switches, the Match/Ball in Play display flashes '0'.
6. Pressing the Self-Test button 20 more times causes the MPU to step thru the threshold
and bookkeeping functions described previously and finally to repeat the power-up test. For
more rapid exit to power-up, turn the game off, then on. The game is now ready to play.
After successful completion of the Self Diagnostic Test procedure, set the game up for play.
Exercise each rollover, thumper-bumper, slingshot, etc., by hand until each switch assembly
on the playfield has been checked for proper operation. If actuating aswitch assembly
results in intermittent or no response, clean contacts by gently closing them on aclean
business card or piece of paper and wiping until they wipe clean. Regap, if necessary, to
1/16". Do not burnish or file Gold Plated Switch Contacts.
IX. TROUBLESHOOTING ON LOCATION
The game is designed to make troubleshooting easy. Several simple procedures are given
herein that cover the greatest percentage of game failures. They are written for an operator on
location and require module replacement. (See Figure III) Symptoms and the action to be
taken are given for each type of problem.
If the problem is more complicated and is not solved by following this procedure, more detailed
procedures are available from Bally. See the Parts List for ordering information.
