HANDLING ELECTRONIC DEVICES: This kit uses complex electronic components that are SENSITIVE

to

statrc

electricity. The following precautions must be observed and followed prior to handling any of the

electronics that make up this game.

1)

Ensure that the A.C. power to the game is turned off prior to servicing the electronics.

2)

Discharge any static electricity build up in your body by touching the safety ground stud of the power
supply

chassrs.

3)

Store the electronic assemblies in an anti-static area. Anti-static bags must be used to store the CPU
board assembly. Use the same bag to save the old CPU assembly after the new unit is installed.

4)

DO NOT remove or connect any electronic assemblies when the cabinet power is on.
damage the electronic assemblies and void the warranty.

DISCONNECT POWER DURING INSTALLATION OR REPAIRS. Always turn your game OFF and
unplug it before attempting to service or install your kit. Installing or repairing PC boards with power ON
can damage components and void the warranty. Be sure that all ground wires are installed securely

PROPERLY GROUND THE GAME. To avoid electrical shocks, do not plug in the game until it has been
inspected and properly grounded. This game should only be plugged into a grounded 3-wire outlet
not use a “cheater” plug or cut off the ground pm on the line cord.

USE PROPER FUSE. To avoid electrical shock all replacement fuses must match the original fuse in

fuse type, voltage rating, and current ratrng.

SALVAGED PARTS. Parts salvaged from old games are required to complete your kit. These salvaged
parts must operate perfectly; otherwise, the converted game cannot perform properly or safely. Always
repair circuit board malfunctions and cabinet damage before conversion is attempted.

This must be done BEFORE touching or handlrng the electromc assemblres.

POWER SUPPLY. Be sure the power supply from your old game is capable of +5Vdc at 5A, -5Vdc at IA.

and +12Vdc at 2A. Measure these operating voltages while existing electronics are installed in the game.

All power supply voltages should be +5% under load. Your power supply must be FCC approved.

WIRING. This kit uses as much of the existing wiring as possible. To
the wiring is an exact match

MONITOR. This kit is not intended for use with X-Y monitors. Suitable monitors have horizontally
mounted CRTs and raster electronics with inputs for RGB video and COMPOSITE NEGATIVE SYNC.

COIN MECHANISMS. Be sure to clean and test your game coin mechanisms with known currency.
Servicing of these mechanisms is crucial to your game’s earning potential and operation.

COIN METERS. Coin meters are not provided with this kit. Wiring information is provided as a
convenience to the operator. Existing meters may be used provided their operation is verified.

HANDLE FLUORESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE. If you drop a fluorescent tube or a CRT and it
breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can fly eight feet or more from the implosion.

HARD DISK DRIVE. The hard disk drive must be packed in an anti-static bag. The disk drive assembly
must be removed from the tray and packed in an approved shipping container (P/N 08-8068) in order to
be sent in for repair or replacement Do not stack or drop hard disk drives during installation or removal.

EPILEPSY WARNING

A very small portion of the population has a condition which may cause them to experience

epileptic seizures or have momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of
flashing lights or patterns that are present in our daily environment. These persons may
experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video
games. People who have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected

epileptic condition.

If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g.

seizures or loss of awareness), immediately consult your physician before using any video games.
We recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you or your

child experience the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching,
involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions, DISCONTINUE USE
IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician.

PROPERLY ATTACH ALL CONNECTORS. Be sure that the connectors on each printed circuit board

SWITCHES AND JUMPERS

The CPU Board has a number of hardware variables that can be changed to adapt this assembly to other
uses. Jumpers determine which circuit paths are active, and DIP-switches select instructions.

There is one CPU Board push button switch (S2, near the battery). This
switch may be used during service to restart the game without cycling the power off and on again,

There are two blocks of DIP Switches
individual switches. These switches are factory set for normal game operation.

NOTE Most instruction variables for this game are software selectable from the menu system.

Jumpers

There is one block of jumpers (P20) on
function of each jumper is explained in CPU Board Jumper Status Chart (Refer to Section Three, Wiring)

NOTE: The circuit paths have been optimized at the factory during the board test procedure. Each

jumper should be out (disconnected) to avoid error messages or video sync problems.

ERRORS

Errors are detected by the system and reported on the screen. Some errors, such as minor disk data

faults, can be repaired by the system. Other errors, such as player control calibration, may be fixed by

manually resetting the values into game memory In most cases, the game will continue to operate after

errors have been found, although performance may be reduced. Do not ignore error messages.

Always record error messages before attempting to correct any problem. Some temporary messages will
be created by intermittent conditions; it might be a while before the same error occurs a second time.
