INTRODUCTION
GAME FEATURES
Thank you for your purchase of the new WACKY
DUCKSÔredemption game from I.C.E.
Through an exclusive agreement with JUPITER
GAMES, I.C.E. is able to bring you an innovative
product with all of the features and reliability
you've come to expect in our games.
The game is constructed of a quality 7 ply MDO
plywood cabinet. The cabinet is then sealed,
painted and decaled using laminated graphics
that resist most common cleaning agents. All
metal parts are powder coated for maximum
beauty and durability.
The game uses creative lighting techniques to
draw game players to it and to enhance game
enjoyment. Long lasting rope light is used for the
marquee that is mounted behind a multi-color
graphics panel to create an attractive rainbow
pattern. Flashing ducks and super bright sign
grade florescent lighting round out the lighting
package.
A unique cartoon like Punching Glove on a
scissors mechanism gives the game a fun way
for Kids to play the game. The mechanism has
been extensively tested for durability and
reliability. The solenoid coil that drives the
mechanism is fan cooled and thermally
protected. The coil is also operated on low
voltage D.C. power.
The game electronics are at the same time high
tech, yet all drive components are chosen for
their long history of reliability. Surface mount
components and programmable logic arrays keep
the board size to a minimum and the reliability to
the maximum.
A high quality digital audio amplifier is used to re-
create some of the funniest sounds you'll ever
hear in a game. A variety of funny duck sounds
will keep you laughing for hours on end.
The ducks move along a belt that is powered by
a heavy-duty 12-volt gear motor. This motor has
been chosen for its long lasting and cool running
capabilities. It has a full-length drive shaft for
greater reliability.
All electronics are fully operator adjustable and
are adjusted via convenient programming buttons
located just inside the coin door. The game
allows the operator to choose a timed game or a
random hit game depending on the operators'
location. (Please see the Game Play section
below and the programming section for further
information).
GAME PLAY
The game can be set up to be played in two
different ways. Both ways are described below.
TIMED GAME
The player inserts their money into the game to
begin. Behind the row of ducks are Frog displays
that have a "time" indicator on them. Once the
player tries to hit his first duck, the count down
timer will begin. (The timer will also begin if the
player does nothing for ten seconds or more).
Once the timer begins, the player needs to hit as
many ducks as possible before time runs out.
The player will be awarded tickets based on how
many ducks have been knocked down. The
player may also receive "mercy" tickets if they
were unable to hit any ducks.
ONE HIT GAME
In this version of the game, the player inserts his
money to start the game. Then the Frog display
will show a random number of "Tickets" that can
be won. This number will constantly continue to
change during game play. The player can hit the
punch button multiple times, however the game

INTRODUCTION
ends once the player hits a duck. The player then
wins the tickets that were displayed at the time of
the hit.
NOTE: This game is generally set up as a "One
Hit" game. The operator can however set the
game up for a different predetermined number of
hits.

ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY
SETTING A.C. LINE
VOLTAGES
The game comes with 4 available line voltage
settings as described below. These settings
should be used to provide A.C. power in the
correct range to the game without over or under
powering it.
POWER RANGE VOLTAGE SETTING
90-110 V.A.C. 115
110-130 V.A.C. 125
200-220 V.A.C. 230
220-250 V.A.C. 250
The game uses a POWER MODULE to handle
all of the A.C. power distribution chores of the
game. It incorporates an On-Off switch, primary
A.C. game fusing, and power switching
capabilities. This allows the game to be used with
a wide variety of A.C. voltages by re-strapping
the main transformer.
A.C. LINE VOLTAGE
ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the game for a different A.C. voltage:
·Unplug the game from the outlet.
·Disconnect the power cord from the
power module.
·Using a small flat blade screwdriver, pry
the fuse holder from the power module.
·Notice a small window on the fuse holder
with an arrow that points to the voltage
the game is presently set at.
·Using a small flat blade screwdriver, lift
the retaining tab that holds the voltage
selector in the fuse holder.
·Rotate the voltage selector until the
voltage you want is displayed in the
voltage select window.
·Push the voltage selector back into the
fuse holder until it snaps into place.
NOTE: Do not force the selector into the
fuse holder. If it does not go in easily, it is
not being installed correctly.
·Snap the fuse holder assembly back into
the power module.
·Plug the power cord back into the
receptacle in the power module, and into
the wall outlet.
NOTE: WHEN CHANGING VOLTAGES FROM
THE 115-125 TO 230-250 RANGE, LOWER THE

FUSE AMPERAGE VALUE.
Plug the game in, turn the power on
and play a couple of game. Pay
attention to the sound volume of the
game.
ADJUSTING VOLUME
There are two volume control potentiometers on
the Main P.C. Board. The top one controls the
theme music and the bottom one controls the
sound effects such as Duck sounds, etc. Adjust
these during game play.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
After the volume is adjusted, proceed to the set
up / testing section to prepare the game for your
location. When all testing is done, re-install the
"Wacky DucksÔ" Sign, remove the keys, and roll

OPERATIONAL
BACKGROUND
The WACKY DUCKSÔgame has been designed
to be as easy as possible to repair.
The duck belt can be easily adjusted while in the
game, yet can be removed easily from the game
if replacement should ever become necessary.
The punching mechanisms have been designed
for easy access by simply removing the access
covers.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PHILOSOPHY
To find problems with the game, always first
check what should be obvious. See that the
game is plugged in, and that all of the fuses on
the game are good. This includes the fuse that is
located INSIDE the power module.
Next, check to see that all of the connectors are
firmly seated and that none of the wires have
been pulled out of them.
When trying to find out if specific components are
bad or not, try swapping them with components
from another player station to see if the problem
moves with the component, or stays where it
was. This will help you to know if you have a
problem with a specific component, or maybe a
problem with either the wiring or the Main P.C.
Board.
Use extreme caution when using probes or
voltmeters if the game is powered up. If doing
continuity checks, it is important to disconnect the
harnessing at both ends, as attached they may
yield erroneous results.
If a P.C. Board is suspected as the cause of a
problem, check to see that all of the components
on the board are firmly attached. Pay special
attention to any socketed devices.
If light bulbs are suspected, swap them with one
that is known to work to narrow the problem
down to either a bulb or P.C. Board.
MECHANICAL REPAIR
PUNCHING GLOVE ASSEMBLY
OVERVIEW
The punching glove system is designed for high
reliability and safety. The assembly can be
designed with simplicity in mind, as the solenoid
is driven for maximum pull in strength.
The solenoid is driven by approximately 35 DC
volts. This voltage may be higher or lower
depending on your A.C. voltage at the wall.
The solenoid is fan cooled to allow for higher
voltages that will in turn provide the higher pull in
strength.
Since fan cooling is necessary under a high
game play mode, the solenoid is protected by a
bi-metal thermal switch that is strapped directly to
the solenoid bobbin. This switch assures that if
the fan fails, the solenoid power will be shut down
before the coil could be damaged.
The thermal switch is run "IN LINE" with the
solenoid power. This simple arrangement is very
reliable and easy to troubleshoot.
TESTING THE COIL
TESTING FOR POWER - Disconnect the coil
from the connectors. Using a voltmeter, measure
that voltage is present during game play if the
punch button is pressed. There should be a
voltage of 30+ volts D.C. If you do not see this
much voltage, but do see some, your meter is
probably too slow to see the voltage, as it is only
on for approximately 100 milliseconds. If you
don't see any voltage at all, the solenoid driver
F.E.T. on the main P.C. Board could be bad. It
could also be that the push button is not sending
a signal to the main P.C. Board.
If you see voltage to the coil, but the mechanism
won't fire, check that the thermal switch is
working correctly. When the thermal switch is
cool, disconnect the wires from its leads and do a
continuity test across the switch terminals. You
should see continuity. If you don't, the switch
needs to be replaced.

REPAIR
If you see that the thermal switch is good, check
to see that the coil and the diode on the coil are
good.
Disconnect the coil and unsolder 1 side of the
diode. Do a resistance check to see that there is
infinite resistance in one direction. If there is no
resistance in either direction the diode is bad. If
the diode is bad, there is also a chance that the
drive transistor and / or fuse could be bad as
well.
If the diode tests good, check to see the
resistance of the coil. It should measure
approximately 3.8 ohms. This resistance will vary
some depending on the temperature of the coil. If
the resistance is significantly more or less, the
coil should be replaced.
COIL REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the
punching mech cover in place.
2. Disconnect the micro switch assembly
from the push button and remove the
cover.
3. Remove the 2 square drive screws that
hold the cardboard fan shroud in place.

THREADS AND RETAINING NUTS.
DUCK BELT ASSEMBLY
ADJUSTMENT AND REPAIR
There are two different adjustments that should
be occasionally performed on the belt assembly.
The first is an adjustment to get the proper
amount of tension to the duck belt. This is
important to prevent the ducks from hanging too
low on the bottom of the belt, and to help insure
proper tracking.
The second type of adjustment is to set the
tracking accurately to the center of the belt board.
NOTE: BOTH OF THE ABOVE ADJUSTMENTS
ARE NECESSARY WHEN THE BELT NO
LONGER RUNS CENTERED ON THE BELT
BOARD OR WHEN REPAIRS TO THE DUCK
BELT ASSEMBLY ARE PERFORMED.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is easy, as the game requires very
little service under normal use. For your
customers to get the greatest enjoyment from the
game, please perform the following periodically:
·Clean the cabinet with soapy water or a
commercial cleaner such as FantastikÔ
or Formula 409Ô. Do not use any
chemicals such as alcohol, benzene, or
paint thinners that could damage the
finish. Finish cleaning the cabinet by
applying a good quality spray furniture
polish.
·Clean the glass with a good quality glass
cleaner.
·Adjust the Duck Belt to assure proper
tracking and operation.
·Clean the coin mechs with a soapy water
solution to remove dirt and grime.
·Clean the push buttons if they become
sticky in use.
·Clean dirt and grime from the punching
mechanisms if they become sluggish.
NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY LUBRICANT ON THE
PUNCHING MECHANISMS, AS THIS WILL
ONLY ATTRACT DIRT, WHICH WILL BIND,
AND SLOW THE UNITS. If the punching
mechanisms still respond sluggishly after
cleaning, check you’re A.C. line voltage to be
sure it matches the way your game is set.

WACKY DUCKS SERVICE NOTICE
Dear Customer,
It has come to our attention that the software originally shipped in the WACKY

In the RANDOM TICKET mode, under some circumstances the second game
played after power up may not end. Also, some programming modes or ticket
payouts in either the Random Ticket or Timed game may not work correctly.
The included code (version WK U5 2.1 and WK U6 2.1) will correct the above
mentioned problems. Please note that the programming instructions in your
service manual will work correctly with the new software.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
