Assemble the game as follows:
Boit legs to cabinet. Boit back box to cabinet. Use flat washers under boit heads. Gently feed
cable connectors and ground braid through cable port in back box. Screw ground braid to
braid in back box. Carefully and fully insert connectors on printed circuit as emblies.
On ali games there are certain items that should be checked after shipment. These are
visual inspections which rr1ay avoid time consuming service work later. Minor troubles
caused by abusive handling in shipment are unavoidable. Cable connectors may be
loosened, switches (especially tilt switches) may go out of adjustment. Plumb bob tilt
switch should always be adjusted after game is set on location and leg levelers are adjusted.
Visual inspections before plugging in line cord:
1. Check that ali cable connectors are completely seated on printed circuit assemblies.
2. Check that cables are clear of ali moving parts.
3. Check for any wires that may have become disconnected.
4. Check switches for loose soldeor other foreign material that may have come loose in
shipment and couId cause shorting of contacts.
5. Check wires on coils for proper soldering. Cold solder connections may not show up in
factory inspection, but vibration in shipment may break contact.
6. Check th at fuses are firmly seated and making good contact.
7. Check the transformer for any foreign material shorting across wiring
lugs.
8. Check wiring of transformer to correspond to location voltage. See figure 1.
Check adjustment of the three (normally open) tilt switches:
1. Panel tilt on bottom of playfield panel.
2. Plumb bob tilt on left side of cabinet near front door.
3. Bali tilt above plumb bob tilt. lnsert the smaller bali ( 15 / 16" dia.) into the bali tilt
assembly, and adjust the bracket so the bali will roll free to contact the switch biade, if front

 Il. GENERAL GAME OPERATION
Place bali into playfield by outhole.
Coin game.Coin should be rejected. Plug in line cord. Move power ON-OFF master switch at
bottom right front corner of cabinet to 'ON' position. The game will play a power-up tune to
announce game-readiness. Drop targets are reset, scores are set to zero, alternating with the
'High Score to Date,' and the game is ready for play. Coin game. The game should accept the
coin and post credits* for coins accepted (adjustable). Pressing the credit button on the door
will cause the outhole kicker to serve the bali to the shooter ailey. The 1st player-up lite is
lit. A game-up tune* is played to announce play-readiness.
One player is posted each additional time the credit button is pressed (one to four can play).
The credits are reduced by one each time the credit button is pressed until the credits are
reduced to zero.
Shooting the bali initiates play.
The game awards ali points earned by the player. If spinner is turning and scoring when the bali
hits a target, the spinner and the target scores are awarded.
When the bali enters the outhole, the bonus score is added to the total score. The player-up
and/or bali in play on the back box is advanced one position. The outhole kicker serves the bali
to the shooter ailey and play is resumed. This continues until each player has played the
allowable number of balls per game (adjustable). At this time the 'Game Over' light is lit. A
random Match* number appears and the 'Match' light is lit. If the number is the same as the last
two digits in a player's score, a free game is awarded.
Extra balls won during the course of the game are played immediately after the player's regular
bali enters the outhole. The player-up and/or bali in play on the back box are not advanced for
extra bali play. Bonus score is added to the player's score before the game serves the extra bali
for play.
Scoring over 10,000,000 gives "High Score to Date" award.
At the end of the game, a 'High Score to Date' is alternately flashed with all4 player scores. If
the
'High Score to Date' is beat, this feature* awards free games.
Tilting the game results in loss of a bali. The flippers, thumper-bumpers, etc., go 'dead: Bonus
points are not scored. The purpose of the tilt penalty is to discourage the player from jostling the
machine in an attempt to pralong play. Game action becomes normal after the bali kicker
'

assembly serves the bali to the shooter ailey.

Slamming the machine results in loss of the game. Ali feature lights go out, the game goes
·dead,' and a time delay occurs. The purpose of the time delay is to discourage unnecessary
abuse of the machine. After the delay, the 'Game Over' light lites and the power-up tune is
played. The time delay occurs anytime one of the siam switches is made to contact. There are
two factory installed siam switches, on the front door, and one on left side of cabinet. (Any
number of siam switches couId be installed by the operator, to meet his individual requirement.)
The switch should be adjusted to have approximately 1/16" gap between the contacts. The
weighted blade should be adjusted to attain the desired sensitivity. Decreasing the gap
between contacts will make the switch more sensitive. Opening the gap will reduce sensitivity.

*Sorne tunes and features can be disabled by operator if so desired. See Back Box Adjustments.
NOTE:Seoring and feature units will differ from game to game.

 C. FRONT DOOR GAME ADJUSTMENTS

High Score Feature Adjustments:

The game is designed to award an extra bali (option) or a free game at each of three score
levels. The recommended levels are on the score cardin the game.
Any level from 10,000 to 9,990i000 can be set, as desired. lt is also possible to reset or turn
off
(00) any or ali of the 1evels, if desi-
red.
1. Push and release Self-Test button (See Figure Ill) at one second intervals
approximately six times or until identification number 01 appears on the 'Match/Bali in
Play' display.
2. The number on the Player Score Displays is the score level.* lt can be increased, if
•

desired, by holding the credit button in. To decrease the score level, hold the credit
button in
and depress and release the Self-Test button. Release the credit button when the
desired number appears. Note that the level changes 10,000 points at a time. If the
number '00' is left on the displays, the high score feature is eliminated for that leveL
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second and third score levels. The identification
numbers
'02' and '03' on the Match/Bali in Play display are for the second and third levels,
respectively.

High Score to Date and 10,000,000 Feature:

The game is designed to award free games when 'High Score to Date' is beat, or if the
player exceeds 10,000,000 points.
lt is recommended that the level, which will build with play, be periodically reset to the
factory recommended level to encourage game play. The adjustment procedure is the same
as for the High Score Feature Adjustment, Steps 1 and 2. Continue pushing the Self-Test
button until the identification number '04' appears on the 'Match/Bali in Play' display and
then do Step 2.
Any level from '00' to 9,990,000 can be set as described. lt is to be noted that '00' does NOT
turn off the feature, as it does on High Score feature. The feature is turned off by self test
position 19 as discussed under 'Back Box Game Admustments:
SELF TEST SETUP FOR 16-22:

 VIII. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON LOCATION:
Self-Test routines are written into the game design. They are particularly useful for routine
maintenance. The tests are described below. The first test is automatic and occurs on
power-up. This test causes the MPU module A4 to examine itself for failures. Seven flashes of
an LED indicates proper operation. The second series of self-diagnostic tests causes the MPU
to 'exercise' each of the ether modules in such a way as to make their faults, if any, obvious.
See Figure Ill and Page ii.
lt is recomme11uvJ that these tests be used severai times a week to check out the games
before play. If faults are discovered, they may be corrected on location if the operator has a
stock of replacement modules. See "Trouble Shooting on Location."
MPU Module Self-Test:
At power on, the LED on the MPU module flashes once. (Fiicker-Fiash). After a pause, it
flashes six more times and goes out. A power-up tune is played to announce game readiness.
This indicates proper MPU operating condition and successful completion of the power-up
test.
Game Self-Diagnostic Tests:
1. Pressing the Self-Test button inside the door initiates the Self-Test routine. See Figures
Ill and IV. Ali switched lamps flash off and on continuously.
2. Pressing the Self-Test butten again causes each digit on each display to cycle from 0 thru
9, and repeat continuously.
3. Pressing the Self-Test butten again causes each solenoid to be energized, one at a time,
in a continuous sequence. Hold bath flipper buttons 'in' during this test. The number
appearing on the Player Score displays is the same as the number assigned to the solenoid
The sound of a solenoid pulling-in as a number appears indicates proper operation. The
absence of sound is improper. If sound is absent, see Page 17 for help in
Solenoid identification.
4. Pressing Self-Test button again causes the sound module to play the "Game Over'' tune
repeatedly.
5. Pressing the Self-Test butten again causes the MPU tosearch each switch assembly for
stuck contacts. If any are found, the number of the first set encountered is flashed on the
Player Score displays. The number remains until the fault is cleared. See Page 17 for help in
Stuck Switch identification. Other numbers may follow if more stuck contacts are present. If
there are no stuck switches, the Match/Bali in Play display flashes '0'.
6. Pressing the Self-Test button 22 more times causes the MPU to step thru the threshold
and bookkeeping functions described previously and finally to repeat the power-up test.
For more rapid exit to power-up, turn the game off, thenon. The game is now ready to play.
After successful completion of the Self Diagnostic Test procedure, set the game up for play.
Exercise each rollover, thumper-bumper, slingshot, etc., by hand until each switch assembly
on the playfield has been checked for proper operation. If actuating a switch assembly
results in intermittent or no response, clean contacts by gently closing them on a clean
business card or piece of paper and wiping until they wipe clean. Regap, if necessary, to
1/16". Do not burnish or file Gold Plated Switch Contacts.

IX. TROUBLESHOOTING ON LOCATION

The game is designed to make troubleshooting easy. Severa! simple procedures are given
herein that caver the greatest percentage of game failures. They are written for an operator on
location and require module replacement. (See Figure Ill) Symptoms and the action to be
taken are given for each type of problem.
If the problem is more complicated and is not solved by following this procedure, more detailed
procedures are available from Sally. See the Parts List for ordering information.
