P6 – Toy Run Time : This function allows the user to game the distance that the Monkey will
travel. The settings are 0 – 24 with the default being set to 4. For Progressive Speed, it was found
that a setting of 6 was best suited as it decreases the space that is travelled by the monkey from
the default setting.
PD & PE: The functions correspond to the time that the buttons will stay lit during game play. The
larger that the value is set to, the longer that the buttons will stay lit. We have found that a setting
a 45 is proficient for Progressive Speed.
PH – Progressive Speed: This is the Progressive Speed option. There are four settings:
•0 – Progressive Speed is turned off
•1 – Game play will experience a 30% increase in speed by the end of the round.
•2 – Game play will experience a 50% increase in speed by the end of the round.
•3 – Game play will experience a 70% increase in speed by the end of the round.
Currently this game is set to the default settings with these exceptions:
P6 – 6
PD – 45
PE – 45
PH – 3
Please note that the game unit has already been set to the above settings.
For any questions or concerns please contact our technical support department.

9. TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING PHILOSOPHY
When troubleshooting any product, certain general guidelines should be followed.
1. Always check to be sure that your game is turned on. Be sure that all of the fuses in the game
are functional and check to see that the AC voltage is in the proper operating range for your
game.
2. Check to be sure that all of the game harnessing is plugged in properly and that all of the pins
are firmly seated in the connectors. It is always possible that a harness can be damaged by rough
shipping or moving.
3. Check game harnessing to be sure that none of the wires have become or are damaged. Using
a handheld multi-meter, check continuity of the wires to make sure they are not broken.
4. Check for obvious damage to the P.C. Boards or electrical components.
5. If you have multiple games or multiple parts on a game, change or exchange the parts and see
if the problem goes away or moves to another location. This way you can quickly eliminate certain
parts as being the problem with the game.
6. When changing electronic or electrical components, ALWAYS turn off and unplug the game.
7. Check to see that all power supplies are delivering the specified voltages to the P.C. Boards
and components as shown in the manual.
For your safety, and to reduce risk of damage to your game read the Important Safety
