Inspection & Installation

Please check the following after the game has been removed from its shipping crate and placed in a suitable

play or service area.

Make sure that the game cabinet is level. Adjust the casters as needed

1. Remove the cabinet keys from the coin comparator reject latch.

2. Open the front main cabinet door. Open the cash box and remove extra parts including the power cord

and spare parts.

3. Inspect the cabinet and any included parts for possible shipping damage.

a. Check the top cabinet glass for any signs of breakage

b. Check the cabinet backdoor

c. Check cabinet graphics

4. Open the rear cabinet door and verify that all connectors are secure and that the bottom of the cabinet is

free of loose objects, which may have possibly come loose during shipping. This includes the

fluorescent light assembly. Check to make sure that all bulbs are secure and did not come out of their

assembly.

WARNING: Use extreme care when moving or servicing the game cabinet. Do not plug the game into a

power outlet until you have read this entire operation manual.

WARNING: Use extreme caution when removing the machine from the pallet. Unit is very heavy. J.E.T

recommends that you have a least 3 personal available to remove the game from the cabinet and lower

it to the ground. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE UNIT OFF THE PALLET. CASTORS ARE

SECURED INTO A RECESSED AREA. WE SUGGEST LIFTING THE UNIT UP AND THEN

REMOVING THE PALLET FROM BELOW.

Installing (or) Applying the Bonus Playfield Character Ticket Values

Jennison Entertainment Technologies provides 1 set of stickers for the bonus playfield in all Intermission units.

These stickers are designed so that the operator can easily change or modify the ticket values on all pop-up

characters on the playfield. The program has been designed so that the operator can choose any value from 1 to

100 as the value for each character pop-up. We have included a set of commonly used numbers and have

provided a chart to guide you on payout.

1. Locate the unit keys and open the side access windows on the left and right side of the game. NOTE:

Although it is easy to access the character pop-ups through the side access windows – you can also

remove the top window to have more access to the pop-up displays.

2. Decide what values you would like to set each character frame to have. NOTE: You can only select

three different values as each character pair is the same. J.E.T. suggests that the lower number should

start with the Peggy assembly – but it doesn’t matter. All characters could have the same value if you

choose. Record your initial setting below here for easy reference in the future.

Peggy: _________________

Kernel: _________________

Jetty: ___________________

3. Locate the provided stickers and gently peel off the selected value and attach to the correct character.

NOTE: You may want to use a pair of scissors to cut the sticker to a smaller size. Firmly attach the

sticker to the character frame and ensure that all air bubbles are removed by pressing on all surface area

of the sticker. When properly attached – you should only barely recognize the sticker outline.

4. Repeat Step # 3 with each of the character frames until each one has your selected value.

5. You must now change the program to register the new ticket values. Please see “Changing the Bonus

Pop-Up Ticket Values” on the following page in order to set the program software to correctly payout

the chosen values.

Coin Comparator Setup

Jennison Entertainment Technologies (J.E.T.) has elected to install a coin comparator into Intermission in order

to facilitate ease of installation for different operators in different operations. Should you choose to use a

mechanical coin mechanism instead – please contact (J.E.T.) for the correct part number and mounting plate.

1. Insert key into the lock directly above the coin mechanism which is located on the napkin dispenser.

2. Slowly pull the coin mechanism towards you.(as shown in Figure # 1)

3. Pull the entire mechanism out of the napkin dispenser. Be careful of the electrical wires attached to the

mechanism. (Figure # 2)

4. Locate the slide mechanism and remove the plastic spacer from the spring loaded assembly. (Figure # 3)

5. Replace this spacer with the coin or token from your facility.

a. Make sure that the coin is set correctly or the unit may not accept coins

6. Insert the coin mechanism back into the napkin dispenser by installing the bottom first and then by

pushing the top back into place. (Figure # 4 & 5)

7. Lock the mechanism securely in place. The mechanism should not move when securely seated. (Figure

# 6)

8. With the unit POWERED ON, insert one of your coins into the coin comparator to test.

9. Coin(s) should easily be accepted and fall into the coin track.

Cabinet Glass Removal

The Intermission cabinet was designed so that operators could access all internal components without much

difficulty. When servicing the inside playfield area, access should be gained primarily through the side access

panels. If it becomes necessary to remove the top cabinet glass, please do so with extreme caution!

Removal of the glass without following these directions COULD result in glass breakage and MAY result

in personal injury to you or your customers.

To remove the glass in order to access the inside playfield:

1. Remove the two acrylic tabs and screws located on the rear of the glass at the intersection of the

backboard. FAILURE TO REMOVE THESE TABS COULD RESULT IN THE GLASS

BREAKING. THESE TABS HOLD THE GLASS IN PLACE. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO REMOVE

THE GLASS WITHOUT REMOVING THESE TWO TABS, IT WILL PUT PRESSURE ON

THE WEAKEST PART OF THE GLASS AS IT IS BEING LIFTED UP.

2. Attach the glass vacuum hand-cup (provided) to the top of the glass. Make certain that the cam levers

are flipped into position and securely locked.

3. Two people are suggested when lifting the top glass off of the cabinet. Make certain that there are no

pieces of plexi-glass restricting the removal and ensure that the rear cabinet tabs have both been

removed. Each person should take a side and slowly lift the glass off the cabinet. One hand should be on

the glass hand-cup while the other should be on the glass. Lift the piece high enough so that it clears the

napkin dispenser and slowly place it onto a carpeted floor. Take care when placing the piece of glass on

the floor as it could slide if left unattended. Place the glass AWAY from any areas where children could

be present.

WARNING: TO PREVENT INJURY AND POSSIBLE GLASS BREAKAGE, PLEASE READ THIS

SECTION IN DETAIL AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROPER REMOVAL OF

GLASS.

WARNING: NOT FOLLOWING THE PROPER INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS REMOVAL

COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE GAME AND (OR) PHYSICAL INJURY.

CAUTION: TWO PEOPLE SHOULD BE PRSENT TO LIFT THE GLASS OFF OF THE CABINET
