ASSY OF THE CABINET
SECURING IN PLACE (ADJUSTER ADJUSTMENT)
POWER SUPPLY
ASSEMBLING CHECK
•Assembling should be performed as per this manual. Since this is a
complex machine, erroneous assembling may cause damage to the
machine, or malfunctioning to occur.
•When assembling, be sure to perform work by plural persons.
Depending on the assembly work, there are some cases in which
a single person performing the work can cause personal injury
or parts damage.

Permanantly tightening the hex bolts should not be completed until
the leg levelers are adjusted properly.
NOTE: Game is shipped fully assembled. No assembly required.

SECURING IN PLACE (ADJUSTER ADJUSTMENT)
Move the machine to the installation position.
Be sure to provide adequate space allowing the
player to get on and off.
Have all of the Leg Adjusters make contact
with the floor. Adjust the height of the Leg

machine's position is kept level.
After making adjustments, fasten the leg
Adjuster Nut upward and secure the height of
the Leg Adjuster.
This machine has 4 each of casters and adjusters (shown below). When the installation position is determined, cause
the adjusters to come into contact with the floor directly, make adjustments in a manner so that the casters will be
raised approximately 5mm. from the floor and make sure that the machine position is level.
Be sure to have all the Adjusters make contact with the floor surface.
Unless the Adjusters come into contact with the floor surface, the
Cabinet can move of itself, causing an accident.

3POWER SUPPLY
Turning the AC unit’s main switch on will cause the machine
to start the power check and network check automatically.
In the Power On check, the steering wheel turns left and right,
and then returns to the centering position and stops. In this
check, the values of the VR inside the control panel are
corrected.
Until this check is finished, and the steering wheel stops, do
not touch the steering wheel or play the game.
If you do, the steering reaction during the game (reaction at
the time of course-out or crash) can not be obtained correctly.
In the case of an abnormal reaction during the game, turn
power on again from the beginning and complete the power on
check.
Connect the game to the power supply and turn on power to the game. Before connecting power supply be sure that
power switch is off
Ensure that the power cord is not exposed on the surface (passage,
etc.). If exposed, they can be caught and are susceptible to damage.
If damaged, the cord can cause an electric shock or short circuit.
Ensure that the wiring position is not in the customer's passage way
or the wiring has protective covering.

switch is tested) to be displayed. Press each
switch. For the coin switch test, insert a coin
into the coin inlet with the coin chute door
open. If the display beside each switch indi-
cates “ON,” the switch and wiring connections
are satisfactory.
Select OUTPUT TEST from the menu in the
test mode to cause the screen (on which each
lamp and wiring connection is tested) to
appear. Ensure that each lamp lights up satis-
factorily.
In the TEST mode, selecting SOUND TEST
causes the screen, on which sound related BD
and wiring connections are tested, to be
displayed. Be sure to check if the sound is
satisfactorily emitted from each speaker and
that the sound volume is appropriate.

When moving the machine, be sure to pull out the plug from
the power supply. Moving the machine with the plug inserted
can damage the power cord and cause a fire or electric shock.
When moving the machine on the floor, retract the Adjusters
and ensure that Casters make contact with the floor. During
transportation, pay careful attention so that Casters do not
tread power cords. Damaging the power cords can cause an
electric shock and/or short circuit.
When lifting the cabinet, be sure to hold the catch portions or
bottom part. Lifting the cabinet by holding other portions can
damage parts and installation portions, due to the empty
weight of the cabinet, and cause personal injury.
Do not push on the plastic parts. Doing so may damage the parts
and cause injury due to fragments resulting from damage.
