Warnings for Operation
NOTE: Only operate this machine after checking that it has been installed correctly
in accordance with this Installation and Commissioning manual.
NOTE: Parts of this machine move during game play, so there are places where the
distance between the stationary section and moveable section changes.
There are warning stickers to keep hands and feet clear of moving parts,
however if the operator feels that a customer playing the game is in any
danger, he should warn the customer accordingly.
NOTE: The warning stickers must always be kept in good condition and replaced if
worn so that the customer can read them clearly.

1. INSTALLATION
Notes on installation
DANGER: NEVER turn the power to the machine ON until installation has been
completed.
DANGER: In order to avoid injury or damage to the machine due to mis-operation,
ensure that the voltage of the mains in supply is 220-240volt AC. Also,
in order to prevent possible electric shocks, be sure that the machine is
connected to the mains in supply with a securely connected earthed
plug.
NOTE: When installing the machine, in order to maintain customer safety, be
sure to attach the supplied rear fence and safety warning mats.
NOTE: In order to prevent customer injury when the machine is being played,
make sure that the space between the side of the machine and a wall
or other machine is at least 30cm.
NOTE: In order that the PCB rack or power supply can be removed for service,
make sure that the rear of the machine is separated from a wall or other
machine by a distance of at least 50cm.
[NOTE]
The shipping brackets that are removed during installation will be required
to be refitted for moving, shipping, and for maintenance when the drive
castor is worn. They should be stored safely and not lost or thrown away.

1-1 Installing the Sign Assembly
For your convenience, the sign assembly has already been fitted to the tower unit.
NOTE: The weight of the Sign Assembly (not including the sign board) is 32kg. The
centre of gravity of the Sign Assembly is to the front , making it unstable, and
as assembly involves lifting the Sign Assembly above head height, at least
two people should be used to install the Sign Assembly.
1) Remove the two security screws (M5x12), and remove the harness cover.
2) Make sure that there are no wires or connectors on top of the main tower assy. If
there is, drop them in to the tower.
3) NOTE: The Sign Assembly is unstable. Ensure that one person maintains the
balance of the sign assembly during installation.
4) Place the Sign Assembly on top of the tower, making sure that the Sign
Assembly is forward of the tab at the top rear of the tower. Centre the Sign
Assembly left to right and push the assembly back until the base board engages
in to the tab.
5) Using the four hex head bolts (M10x30) and washers supplied, secure the Sign
Assembly to the main tower assembly.
6) Feed the harness through from the tower assembly and connect the connectors.
Refit the harness cover using the two security screws (M5x12) removed in step 1.

1-2 Installing the Sign Boards (L), (R)
The overall height of the machine can be adjusted by altering the position at which the
sign boards are fitted.
Normal Height (Total height: 2,200mm)
1) Bring the Sign Boards (L), (R) close to the fixing position, and connect the
connectors.
2) Hang the Sign Boards (L) (R) on the side joints (L) (R).
3) Slide the Sign Boards (L) (R) to the back, and fasten to the cabinet using two
security screws (M6x20).
Lower Height (Total height: 2,140mm)
1) Remove the two hex head screws (M6x20), and remove the side joints (L) (R).
2) Turn the side joint top to bottom, and refit the side joint using the lower two of the
three fixing holes.

1-3 Connecting the Seat Assemblies to the Tower Assembly
1) Insert the seat assembly from the side of the tower unit so that the front legs of
the tower unit are underneath the seat assembly.
2) Remove the four security screws (M5x12) from the bottom front of the tower unit,
and remove the lower front cover (F). Temporarily fasten the seat unit with two
hex head bolts (M10x25), flat washers and safety washers. (Do not tighten)
3) Remove the four security screws (M5x12) from the bottom rear of the tower unit,
and remove the lower rear cover (S). Temporarily fasten the ride unit with four
hex head bolts (M10x25), flat washers and security washers.
4) Tighten all of the hex head bolts (M10x25).
5) Connect the connectors between the seat assembly and tower unit.
6) Connect the other seat assembly in the same way.
7) Replace the front and rear covers (F), (S) taking care not to trap or pinch any
wiring.
[NOTE]: When connecting the seat asseblies to the tower unit take care not to
trap any wires.

8) Insert the front rubber brackets (L), (R) of the tower unit in the side panel of the
seat assembly, and fasten them with two security screws (M5x16) and two
No6X½" pozi flange head screws.
9) Remove the five security screws (M5x16) from the tower side support.
10) Fit the rear safety rubbers to the tower unit with the retaining bracket and the five
security screws (M5x16) previously removed from the tower side support.
11) Place the left, centre, and right safety warning mats in their correct positions.
12) When the machine is in its final location, lower the level adjusters (17 adjusters)
with a spanner so that all castors are raised from the floor.
13) Tighten the lock nuts with a spanner to ensure that the level adjusters not move.

1-4 Removing the Shipping Brackets
NOTE: Store the removed shipping brackets in a safe place as they must be refitted
when replacing the drive castor, when shipping, or when moving the machine.
1) Remove two hex head bolts (M8x20) from each rear shipping bracket, and
remove the brackets. Retain the four hex head bolts (M8x20) that were used to fit
the shipping bracket for future use.
2) Slacken two security screws (M10x30), and remove two heax head bolts (M8x20)
from each front shipping bracket, and remove the brackets. Re-tighten the four
security screws (M10x30).

Page
After removing the shipping brackets, install the supplied safety rubber skirt (D) and
skirt stay (F) to the upper base assembly as described below.
NOTE: The safety rubber skirt is to prevent hands or feet being trapped by the
moving parts. Be sure to install the safety rubber skirts.
1) The safety rubber is installed on the outside of each seat assembly. i.e.on the left
of the left hand seat and on the right of the right hand seat.
2) Install the safety rubber and skirt stay using three security screws (M5x20).
NOTE: Ensure that the gap between the bottom of the skirt and the cover plate is no
greater than 1.5mm.
