and pay attention to ensure that the players can enjoy the game safely.
Be sure to turn the power OFF before working on the machine.
Make sure the power cord is not exposed on the surface (floor, ground, etc.) where
people walk through.
Check that the rubber glide feet levelers are set evenly on the floor so that the game
cabinet is unable to roll and is stable.
Always make complete connections for the integrated circuit (IC) logic PC Boards
and other connectors. Insufficient insertion can damage the electrical components.
Only qualified personnel should inspect or test the integrated circuit (IC) logic PC
Boards.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The “Fire Fighter” is shipped in two main sections, the Upper Cabinet, containing
most of the controlling electronics and the Lower Cabinet, containing the water system
and player controls. The game should not be shipped fully assembled as this could
cause damage to the Both Cabinets.
Position the Lower Cabinet nearby to its final location. The cabinet has four
heavy duty castors to allow easy repositioning of the game. Remove the four M12
x 80mm Bolts from the back mounting section and make sure it‟s clear of any
wires or obstructions.
Position the Upper Cabinet on the floor near the back of the Lower Cabinet
with the header facing the front. Unwrap and remove the back door of the Upper
Cabinet, this will give better grip when lifting the Upper Cabinet into place.
Using at least two persons, one at each side, lift the Upper Cabinet into position
on the Lower Cabinet. Using the four M12 x 80mm Bolts, mount the Upper
Cabinet tight to the Lower Cabinet.
Feed the Cables from the Upper Cabinet through the hole down into the Lower
Cabinet. Mate all the connectors together; they are keyed to prevent incorrect
connection. Remove the four Philip head screws from the red metal bracket just
above the Hydrant Targets. Position the Acrylic Splash Guard with the rubber
edging pressing up against the Display Glass and fit and tighten screws, don‟t
over tighten or it may crack the acrylic.
* CAUTION! *
Water needs to be added to the game BEFORE running the pumps.
Prolonged dry running of the pumps can shorten their life.

WATER SYSTEM
The “Fire Fighter” is a water style game and requires regular maintenance and
cleaning to keep the water in good condition. The game needs 20 liters (5 Gallons) of
water to operate effectively. The machine should be emptied of any water before
moving or shipping to prevent spillage. The two 12Volt DC Pumps are able to run dry
for short durations without damage should the game accidentally be run without water.
A Stainless Steel grill between the water catchment and the water tank prevents large
objects from blocking the plumbing. A water filter protects the two pumps from fine
particle damage. Refer the Water System Diagrams on page 7 for locating water system
components and valves.
FILLING MACHINE
Check that the Drain Stop Valve is in the closed position (See page 7). Use a
bucket or metered container to fill the tank with 20 liters (5 Gallons) of clean tap
water. Open the Main Stop Valve at the back of the machine and then press the
small red filter bleed button on the top of the Water Filter to fill the filter with
water.
PRIMING PUMPS & ADJUST PRESSURE
Check that both the Yellow Player and Blue Player Stop Valves are open. Use
the Run Test Mode on page 13 to activate both Water Pumps. Let the water run
for a while to remove all air from the plumbing. Then with the Yellow Player /
Blue Player Stop Valves, as shown in the Water System Diagrams on page 7.
Slowly close off each valve to reduce the Canon water pressure so that the
targets can be moved and activate the target lights but the water stream is not
splashing excessively.
CLEANING OPERATIONS
The “Fire Fighter” is fitted with a Wash-Down Gun to help in cleaning the water
catchment area. To activate the Wash-Down Gun, Use the Run Test Mode on
page 13 to activate Pump 2 only. Then open the Wash-Down Gun Stop Valve,
use the trigger on the Gun and direct the water where needed. Be careful not to
splash water outside the fiberglass catchment area. You can close the Blue Player
Stop Valve if need be, but you will have to adjust the Canon water pressure again
when finished.
EMPTING MACHINE
Close the Main Stop Valve and then place the Drain Pipe at the front of the
machine in a bucket or suitable container. The containers height must be no
higher then 400mm (15”) to allow the tank to gravity drain. Use the Drain Stop
Valve to prevent overfilling of the container. Repeat until all water is drained
from the machine.
* NOTE! *
The addition of a small amount of pool chlorine to the water is recommended
to kill any algae or other organisms introduced during filling.

HOW TO PLAY
THE PLAYER’S AIM IS TO REACH THE 99 POINTS
FIRST BY AIMING THE WATER STREAM AT THE LIT
TARGETS INSIDE THE PLAYERS FIRE HYDRANT
Insert coin/s.
(The exact amount of coins per play is dependant on Program settings P1
through to P4. See program settings, page 14 for details).
For single player game, the player chooses to press ether the yellow or blue
player start button only. For a multi (two) player game both players must press
both the blue & yellow player start buttons together.
There is a brief build up period where the buildings are lit on fire. Then the
players fire hose(s) will start shooting water. Aim the stream of water at the
flashing targets inside the fire hydrant on your half of the playfield.
The fire in the building will start to reduce downwards while your score will
start rising as you hold your water stream on your targets.
(The exact amount of time you must hold your flashing targets in the active
position before a level of fire is turned off is controlled by P11. See Program
Settings, page 14 for details).
Once all the fires in the either building are put out (or the score reaches 99
points, as these always occur simultaneously) the game is then over. The side
that has put out all the levels (Or reached 99 points) is the winner.
(The skill level of the computer player in the one player game is controlled by
P12 setting. See Program Settings, page 14 for details).
Tickets are then dispensed.
(The amount of tickets is controlled by P7 through to P10. See Program
Settings, page 14 for details).
* NOTE! *
If the time out is reached then the side with the highest score is the winner.
(As set by P5, see Program settings Page 14 for details)

PROGRAMMABLE ADJUSTMENTS DETAILED
P01=COIN MECH 1: NUMBER OF COINS PER CREDIT
(Default 01) (Adjustable 1 – 10)
This variable sets the number of coins that need to be inserted into coin
mechanism 1, for each credit. It can be set to either of 1, 2, 3… to 10 coins for one
credit.
P02=COIN MECH 1: NUMBER of PLAYS PER CREDIT
(Default 01) (Adjustable 1 – 10)
This sets the number of games for each credit inserted into coin mechanism 1. It
can be set to either of 1, 2, 3… to 10 plays for each credit.
P03=COIN MECH 2: NUMBER OF COINS PER CREDIT
(Default 01) (Adjustable 1 – 10)
This variable sets the number of coins that need to be inserted into coin
mechanism 2 for each credit. It can be set to either of 1, 2, 3… to 10 coins for one
credit.
P04=COIN MECH 2: NUMBER of PLAYS PER CREDIT
(Default 01) (Adjustable 1 – 10)
This sets the number of games for each credit inserted into coin mechanism 2. It
can be set to either of 1, 2, 3… to 10 plays for each credit.
P05 = MAXIMUM GAME TIME
(Default 80) (Adjustable 30s-300s)
This option adjusts the number of seconds before the game will time out and shut
itself down. This is intended purely as a safety measure, in case of a blocked
pump causing the game to run continuously (as the sensor would not be activated)
or a player who starts a game then walks away.
P06 = ATTRACT MODE SOUND
(Default ON) (Adjustable ON or OFF)

ERRORS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
If the Game microprocessor detects any problems with the operation of the game, an
Error will be displayed on the 3-digit display and the machine will play a voice
message. “Please Call the Attendant”. Some error Messages will only be displayed
when test mode is entered. Errors are displayed on the Timer display as
E r r
X
and
the error number in ether the Yellow or Blue player score display as
X
. where „X‟
is the error number, listed as follows:
CODE
ERROR DESCRIPTION
SOLUTION
Err1
TICKET DISPENSE ERROR
Jammed tickets, no tickets or no
ticket notch pulse for longer than
3 seconds.
Check if the ticket dispenser is jam or
empty of tickets. After clearing
dispenser jam or replenish tickets, push
Test button once to clear error.
Err3
EEPROM ERROR
Problem with on-board
EEPROM
The main MCU is getting errors reading
the EEPROM (24C16 IC on MCU).
Err4
TARGET SENSOR JAMMED
Check Target movement is free & test
sensor using switch test.
Err5
COIN SWITCH ERROR
Check switch movement & test coin
switches using switch test.
* NOTE! *
Error numbers displayed in the Yellow Player Score display indicate
the error has occurred on the Yellow Player side
Error numbers displayed in the Blue Player Score indicate the error has
occurred on the Blue Player side
The exception is Err3, this is displayed on the Yellow Player Score
display only.
Page 32
Operator's Manual – FireFighter
© LAI GAMES
Page 27
Err1 – TICKET ERROR
This error usually occurs if the game has run out of tickets or there is a
ticket jam. A less common reason is if the game PCB tries to dispense
tickets but doesn‟t get a notch pulse for approximately three seconds. You
can test the notch pulse by passing a ticket in and out of the notch sensor.
(See Switch Test, page 11).
If the game was out of tickets or jammed, replace the tickets, clear the
ticket jam and then push the test button once to clear the error. The game
will then payout any owed tickets.
Err3 – EEPROM ERROR
This Error is only displayed in test mode and means that the CPU cannot
read the EEPROM, or is receiving errors during communication with the
EEPROM (The 24C16 IC on the main MCU PCB). This could cause
problems with the game audits and program settings. The first thing to do
is trying to switch ON and OFF the machine in at least 2 cycles, if message
still appear than replace the EEPROM IC Atmel 24C16 on the CPU PCB
with the new EEPROM, If still Error massage, this could be a problems
with the game audits and program. If this error occurs, send your main
MCU PCB to the nearest authorized LAI games dealer for repair.
Err4 – TARGET SENSOR JAM
This error occurs if one or more of the target sensors are continuously
active. The target sensors are located behind the Fire hydrant on the
playfield, and are accessed through the lower back door. The magnets that
activate these sensors are located on the actual targets in the playfield.
This error can be caused by the target(s) being jammed and not swinging
freely. Clean the targets are make sure they are swinging properly and test
the sensors in the switch test mode (See page 11) and the run test mode
(See page 13).
This error can also be caused by the target sensor(s) being installed too
close to the magnet(s) on the target. Make sure that the sensors are far
enough from the target magnets that the sensor(s) are not active when the
target is in it rest position (Use Switch Test, page 11).
Err5 – COIN SWITCH ACTIVE ERROR
This Error is displayed when a coin input has been active continually for 5
seconds or longer. The problem is likely due to a stuck coin switch or
someone trying to „string‟ a coin.
This error can also be caused by connecting the Coin Input wire to the
Normal Closed (NC) connection on the coin switch.
Enter switch test mode (See page 11) to check with coin switch is active
and check the micro-switch on the appropriate coin mechanisms.
