2. To make putting prizes easier, fit the
locking pin to the prize arm and define,
above which loop a colorful sticker will be
placed.
3. Put prizes on appropriate loops, starting from this one, which should fall on the
end. Remember that the first prize should be placed on the first loop of the spiral,
marked by colorful sticker, counting from the beginning, and the next have to be
placed two loops further –exactly in spaces marked by colorful stickers.

4. After placing prizes reach the locking pin over hanging ties supporting prizes and
screw the locking pin into the prize arm by turning it in anti-clockwise direction.

hanging within a loop marked by colorful
sticker.

may cause losses for operator. Prizes are placed unproperly, when they are
hanging:
1) above the locking pin;

2) below the locking pin and below the spiral;
3) too close to each other (on neighbouring loops);
4) below the locking pin and on the loop, but on loops non-marked with
sticker.

VII TYPES OF ERRORS APPEALING ON THE DISPLAY
