INTRODUCTION
Overview and Technical Features
Thank you for purchasing the new 3 IN 1 EVENT TRAILER (FEC) from Bob's Space Racers®. Built on a long tradition
of value, the 3 IN 1 EVENT TRAILER (FEC) retains all of the great game play you have come to expect from a game
from BSR. It has been designed and engineered by taking years of experience in producing industry leading Water
games and combining this experience with modern manufacturing technology developed for this application. All of this
is brought together to provide the operator and customer with the best possible experience.

FEATURES
WATER –The water tank is an enclosed re-circulating
system designed to be easy to maintain and service. It
also features the low water warning light as a safety
feature and reminder to fill the water.
WATER PUMP ASSEMBLY - The water pump
assembly uses an all plastic impeller and housing to
completely eliminate any rusting or corrosion in the
water system. This greatly extends the time between
water changes. The pump assembly also uses a
basket type washable water filter in a clear-view
housing to keep the game working properly. The entire
pump assembly can be easily removed from the game
making bench top servicing possible.
SCORE DISPLAYS - The solid state score displays
(AKA Display P.C. Boards) are replaceable as a sub-
assembly making service easier.
SIMPLE ELECTRONICS - The new design uses 3-4
electronic boards (AKA the Main P.C. Boards, ) making
troubleshooting far easier than ever.
NEW TARGET SENSORS - The game utilizes fully
encapsulated magnetic switches for the target sensing,
greatly extending the reliability of the game.
GAME PLAY
(IN AUTOMATIC MODE)
The object of the game is to shoot water from the
gun into a target "pan" making the display indicator
rise to the top of the game to win.
The game can be played by 2 to 8 players. The
game is designed to be played in a traditional
player versus player RACE with 2 players needed
to start the game.
When the game is idle, it will normally say SWIPE
CARD or INSERT COIN on each display. Unless it
is playing the attract mode.
When a player puts enough money into the game
to start, the display on his/her side will say "GET
READY" and the other side will still say SWIPE
CARD or INSERT COIN. Under the side with get
ready, a count down from 9-0 will be visible.
Once both players have inserted enough money to
play, the count down will continue and the game
will start when the timer runs out. If a game is in
progress and additional players walk up to play and
inserts money, the display at that station will flash
"WAIT" until the game in progress has ended. At
that time, the previous game play scenario will
begin.
In a game, the winning player will win the
dispensed PRIZE TICKETS. PRIZE TICKETS are
larger 2x4 tickets used for a direct exchange for a
prize. They are larger then the conventional
redemption game tickets. And the amount of PRIZE
TICKETS is dependant on the number of players in
each game.
In a 2-4 player game, the game is set to dispense 1
PRIZE TICKET to the winner. The loosing players
don’t receive any tickets.
In a 5-8 player game, the game is set to dispense 2
PRIZE TICKETS to the winner. The loosing players
don’t receive any tickets.
At the end of the game, "WINNER" will flash on the
winning station. The beacon light will also rotate
when winner is flashing.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Water Filter
VERY IMPORTANT!
This Water Filter should be checked daily when running the game. It is recommended that at the end of the
event or when shutting down the game for long periods of time, the filter be cleaned out.
Cleaning the filter is easy, just “OPEN” the Water Clean-Out Valve and wait until all the visible debris that
has collected in the filter has been purged (shouldn’t take more than a few seconds), then “Close” the Valve.
You are now ready for the next event service.
Check the Water Tank Level periodically, and add more water if necessary.

Quick Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING PHILOSOPHY
When troubleshooting any product, certain general guidelines should be followed.
1. Always check to be sure that you 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 damaged. Using a handheld multi-meter,
check continuity of the wires to make sure they are not broken.
4. Check for obvious damage to any 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 detailed servicing and repair information see the full the full repair section of this manual.
For your safety and to reduce risk of damage to your game read the Important Safety
Information on page 5 before attempting any troubleshooting procedure.
