Newgy 40mm UPGRADE KIT Installation instructions
40mm UPGRADE KIT
INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The 40mm Upgrade Kit permits a Robo-Pong 2000 or 1000 to accept the new 40mm ball. Use of 38mm balls is no longer
supported as of August, 2010. You will retain your current net system and electrical control system. Installation is easy
and fast.
Pictures below show installing an upgrade on a Robo-Pong 2000. Installation for Robo-Pong 1000 is even easier and
faster, except the Ball Feed Collector Plate must be removed before mounting the robot body on your Ball Bucket and
you will not need the Wedge Filler.
Detach the sides
of your Trap Net
(the black net
with large holes)
and then flip it over the
top of the net tubes to
get it out of the way.

➥
First detach both Side Nets
from your table net.
Unplug the Connector
Cable from the back of the
robot. (See Step 12 for photo.)

➦
Push all the balls in
the Center Trough up
into one of the Ball
Trays and then insert
a Ball Dam to prevent the
balls from rolling back into
the Center Trough. (See page
11 of your Owner’s Manual
for more info on Ball Dams).

The Wedge Filler fits on the inside
front surface of the Center
Trough. With the Wedge Filler in
place, balls cannot hang up on the
right angle corner, assuring a
continuous flow of balls to the
ball feed mechanism.
Attach the Wedge Filler
using the screw provided
from the hardware packet.
Hold your finger over the
hexagonal hole to keep the screw
from pushing the nut out of its
hole. You may need to push
forcefully with your screwdriver
to get the screw to engage the nut.
Tighten securely.

Unhook the robot
from the table and
place the robot on
top of the table.
Place it with the robot
facing you for easy access.
4
PREPARATION
Find the gold colored
Phillips head screw on
the inside right front (as
you face the robot)
surface of the Center Trough.
Unscrew this screw and remove
it and the washer. The nut
should stay recessed inside its
hexagonal hole.
6
Locate the Wedge Filler
from the Upgrade Kit
and a #2 Phillips head
screwdriver.

INSTALLING THE WEDGE FILLER
Reinsert the
Connector Cable
into the robot. Pull
out the Ball Dam
to release the balls so they roll
back into the Center Trough.
➨
12
Take your new Robo-Pong 2040 robot body
and mount it on the Center Trough. Be sure
that the new robot body fits fully down on
the locating tab of the Center Trough.
Finally, retighten the Wing Nuts.
➦
11
Pull straight up on
the robot body to
remove it from the
Center Trough.
You may keep your old robot
body, there is no need to return
it to Newgy.
➥
10
Loosen the two Wing
Nuts that hold your
current robot body onto
the Center Trough. If
your robot has the black,
rectangular Clip Washers
(instead of the round gold-
colored washers), you will also
need to rotate the Clip Washer 180˚.

REPLACING THE ROBOT BODY
Locate the Robo-
Pong 2040 Robot
Body in the
Upgrade Kit.
