3. HANDLING AND INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
• Installation and commissioning should only be carried out by a QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERONNEL.
When installing or inspecting the machine, be very careful of the following points and pay attention to
ensure that the player can enjoy the game safely.
The game must NOT be installed under the following conditions:
• Outside, the game is designed for indoor use only.
• In areas directly exposed to sunlight, high humidity, dust, excessive heat or extreme cold.
• In locations that would present an obstacle in the case of an emergency i.e. near fire equipment or
emergency exits.
• On unstable surfaces or surfaces subject to vibration.
• Where liquids, other than routine cleaning, may come into contact with the game.
Important:
• This machine should only be installed by Qualified Service Personnel.
• Ensure that the line supply voltage matches that of the transformer input tapping. For more information
see the section in this manual dealing with changing the transformer voltage.
• Please note that the input voltage of the machine has been set during manufacture to 230V AC
• Be sure to switch the supply power OFF and remove the mains supply plug from the machine before
any work is carried out on the machine.
• Do not attempt to repair the PCB’s (Printed Circuit Boards) yourself. This will void the warranty. The
PCB’s contain static sensitive devices that could be damaged.
• Always return a faulty part to your distributor with adequate packaging and protection.
• When removing the plug from the mains always grasp the plug not the cable.
• Do not use a fuse that does not meet the specified rating.
• Make sure all connections are secure before applying power.
• Ensure that the mains lead is not damaged. If the main lead is damaged in any way
there could be a danger of electrical shock or fire hazard.
• Ensure that the power supply is fitted with a circuit protection device. Using power
supply without circuit protection is a fire hazard.

6.1. SECURING IN PLACE (LEG ADJUSTER ADJUSTMENT)
• Make sure that all of the leg adjusters are in contact with the floor. If they are not,
the cabinet may move causing an accident.
This machine has 4 castors and 4 leg adjusters. When the installation position is determined, bring the leg
adjusters to come into contact with the floor directly, make adjustments in a manner so that the castors will
be raised approximately 5mm. from the floor and make sure that the machine position is level.
1. Install the machine in a suitable location.
2. Bring the leg adjusters to come into contact with
the floor directly, make adjustments in a manner
so that the castors will be raised approximately
5mm. from the floor and make sure that the
machine position is level.
3. After making adjustments, fasten the leg adjuster
nut upward and secure the height of the leg
adjuster.

6.2. POWER SUPPLY, AND EARTH CONNECTION
• Maintenance must only be carried out by Qualified Service Personnel. Ensure
that the mains power is switch OFF and disconnected before attempting any
work.
The Transformer fitted to this machine is capable of accepting a wide range of voltages from 210V to 240V.
This is factory set to 230V and, in normal operating conditions, should not need to be changed.
However circumstances may arise that require the primary voltage to be changed, to do this follow the
procedure detailed below. DO NOT REMOVE ANY WIRES ATTACHED TO THE TRANSFORMER.
1. Switch off the machine and remove the IEC plug from the IEC inlet.
2. Unlock the L/H/S door, remove the two tamper-proof screws and remove the back door.
3. Disconnect Wire Harness Transformer In (HDF-66016UK) from the 6-way Mate ‘n’ Lok connector on
the transformer primary.

on HDF-66016UK and insert into:
Position 2 for 210V input;
Position 3 for 220V input;
Position 4 for 230V input;
Position 5 for 240V input;
DO NOT REMOVE ANY WIRES ATTACHED TO THE TRANSFORMER
5. Plug HDF-66016UK back into the primary of the transformer.
6.3. CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

7. PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN MOVING THE MACHINE
• When moving the machine, be sure to pull out the plug from the power supply.
Moving the machine with the plug as is inserted can cause the power cord to
be damaged, resulting in a fire and or electric shock.
• When moving the machine on the floor, retract the leg adjusters and ensure
that casters make contact with the floor. During transportation, pay careful
attention so that casters do not tread power cords and earth wires. Damaging
the power cords can cause an electric shock and or short circuit.
• When moving the machine, do not push the cabinet from the left/right direction.
Pushing the cabinet from the left/right direction can cause the cabinet to fall
down, resulting in injury and or parts damage.
• Do not attempt to complete this work alone, a minimum of 2 people are
required.
When lifting or inclining the machine do not hold the controller (Gun) portion.
Holding the controller portion can cause the controller and installation portion to be
damaged due to the heavy weight.
