3.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING LOCATION
Do not place the machine where it might be an obstacle in case on emergency (i.e.
close to fire extinguishers or emergency exits).
Install and operate the machine in places where appropriate lighting is available, so
warning labels can be clearly read by the customers.
This machine has been for indoor use only, within residential or commercial
spaces. Absolutely do not set up the machine outdoors or under the following
conditions:
•Direct exposure to sunlight, high humidity, water contact, dust, high heat or extreme
cold.
•In locations near containers holding liquids or liquid dispensing equipment. In general,
precautions should be taken against spilling liquids of any kind whatsoever over the
machine
•In a place exposed to vibration. The machine must be installed on a level surface with
levellers properly adjusted.
•In locations near ventilating holes. Doing so could cause internal temperature to rise
excessively, resulting in equipment failure.
•Near hazardous substances
Furthermore:
•In order to have easy access to the PSU, CPU and control devices, please make sure
that the rear an sides of the machine are separated from the wall or other machines by
at least 300mm (12")
•Ventilation slots must be not obstructed, and the machine must be positioned so as to
leave a distance of at least 100mm (4") from possible obstructions
•Do not run the power cord across passages where pedestrian's feet could get caught
on the cord.
•Ensure that the location’s power supply is equipped with an Earth Leakage Breaker
rated at 30mA.

The machine can easily moved by using their castors. When moving the game machine,
always retract the levellers to the extreme up position, so the castors can make contact
with the floor. Please ensure that the levellers are raised fully when moving the machine,
even for short distances. Furthermore:
•Do not use the handlebar or the rear handle to move the platform (rider assembly),
unless the levellers are raised fully.
•When moving the machine on slopping or uneven surfaces or across steps, proceed
with extreme caution to avoid the risk of being crushed!
•If there are steps or step-like differences in grade, move the machine by separating into
each unit. Be sure to catch the bottom part.
•During transportation, pay attention so that de castors do not thread power cords.
•Ensure that there is enough room to get through doors or to avoid any collision with
elements hanging from the ceiling. Read section 4 to know the dimensions of the
machine.
The two units of the machine are not equipped with lifting rings. It is therefore
absolutely prohibited to lift them with ropes or belts!
3.2.1 SECURING IN PLACE
Ensure that all the leg levellers make firm contact with the surface of the floor. This
precaution is crucial for the ATV-TRACK version with motion system, because the machine
can move of itself, causing an accident.
After making the adjustment of all legs, secure the height of each one by fastening upward
the nut.
3.3 PRECAUTIONS TO BE HEEDED WHEN MOVING THE MACHINE

GAELCO - ATV QUADS TRACK

3.4 PRECAUTIONS TO BE HEEDED DURING OPERATION
Please heed the following indications in order to ensure the safety of the customers when
using this game machine. Be sure to read and get a good understanding of each item:
•Before starting the operation, please check if all the level adjusters are in firm contact
with the surface of the ground. If they are not, the cabinet can move and cause an
accident.
•Do not use the machine as support for other objects.
•Do not put on the machine or near by any kind of receptacle containing chemicals or
water.
•Ensure to provide enough space around the machine to avoid the risk of injury or
trouble. Insufficient installation space can cause the player to come in contact with
spectators or hit them.
In order to avoid injury and accidents, it is not allowed to use the machine to those
persons who fall under the following cases:
•Intoxicated persons.
•Persons susceptible to motion sickness.
•Persons who are not in good health, such those having problems of high blood
pressure or heart malfunctions.
•Pregnant women
•Persons whose acts do not observe the warning notices.
•Persons whos could be unable to support themselves at both footrests being sitting
(disabled people, children, etc.).
Despite the machine is fitted with protection hoods to avoid access to potentially
dangerous places, do not allow customers to put hands, fingers or extraneous matter in
any opening of the cabinet.

The ATV-TRACK / MOTION machine has two dedicated devices that provide additional
safety to the player when the game is running:
•An EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON placed on top of the fuel tank, which can be easily
activated by the player or the operator at any time. The game keeps running but the
motion stops until the button is unlocked manually by turning it clockwise.
•A SAFETY STOP SYSTEM, that stops motion immediately if the player does not press
simultaneously both rider footrest. The game still runs but the machine does not move
until both footrest are pressed.
The combined action of these two devices reduces the possibility of an accident resulting
from sudden sickness or improper use of the machine while it is moving.
