Safety Notices

The following safety instructions apply to all game operators. We recommend that you read this page before setting-up Bikini Bottom Bowling. Use the following safety guidelines to help protect the system from potential damage and to ensure your personal safety.

• Use with only 115 volts/60 Hz

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system power cables into properly grounded power

sources. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must us an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.

• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

• Do not spill food or liquid on your system.

• Do not push any objects into the openings of the system. Doing so can cause fire or electric

shock by shorting out interior components.

• Keep your game far away from radiators and heat sources.

• Do not block cooling vents.

• Before working on the machine be sure to unplug it.

• Be sure to use fuses that meet the specified rating. (5A, 250V Fast-blow) Using fuses

exceeding the specified rating can cause a fire and electrical shock.

Setting the game up for the Desired Payout Percentage

The payout percent can be adjusted in the Ticket Adjustment Menu. Turn to page 10 for instructions on accessing and making changes to this menu.

Cost To Play (Main MenuÎOperator AdjustmentsÎPlayer Cost)

This setting determines the number of coins that have to be inserted for one credit. The default setting is one coin per play. This can be changed from $0.25 to $63.75. Instructions for accessing and making changes to this setting can be found on page 13.

Balls Per Frame (Main MenuÎOperator AdjustmentsÎGame Adjustments)

The Balls Per Frame setting determines how many balls a player receives for a credit entered into the machine. If this is set to one ball per frame, the player will receive one ball to throw. If this is set to two balls per frame, the player will receive a second chance after the first ball. If the player bowls a strike, they are allowed to bowl up to two more frames for a chance to win the bonus. Instructions for accessing and making changes to this setting can be found on page 9.

Ticket Payout Table (Main MenuÎOperator AdjustmentsÎTicket Adjustments)

This table adjusts tickets awarded for number of pins knocked down, spares, strikes, and the three strike in a row jackpot. Instructions for accessing and making changes to this menu can be found on page 11.

Opening the Ticket Drawer

The ticket drawer is located on the front left side of the unit and must be opened using a key. To open the drawer, turn the key clockwise and pull on the small handle at the top of the drawer. After unlocking the drawer, the key must either be held in position or removed while in the unlocked position. Leaving the key in will allow the locking mechanism to fall back into the locked position. Note that the ticket drawer slides out on rollers, like a drawer, rather than tilting open.
