If you wish to reuse your shipping box,

simply lift the wraparound cardboard

upwards and set it aside.

Step 1. Unboxing

5

If you do not wish to reuse your shipping box,

or if you do not have enough ceiling clearance,

lift the wraparound cardboard 5” to clear the

bottom tray and use a utility knife to cut down

the corner of the wraparound cardboard where

the dotted red line is shown below.

Cutting the box farther than 2” from the corner may
result in damage to your game.

and Nut

x4

8

Install a 3/8”- 16 hex nut onto each of the four

leveler feet.

Thread a leveler foot into each of the four legs.

Step 2. Setup

i

For a standard playfield angle of 6.5°,
adjust all of the feet to the same height
on each leg. For faster gameplay, the
rear feet can be adjusted taller.

9

Install one leg onto each of the two front corners

of the machine using two leg bolts each.

Tighten the bolts with a 5/8” socket or wrench.

10

Tilt the machine forward until the front legs are

resting on the floor.

11

With help from at least one other person, lift

the rear of the machine, move any remaining

shipping material out of the way, and install

the two rear legs with two leg bolts each.

Once the rear legs have been

installed, set the machine down so

that it is standing on all four legs.

Single person lifting could cause personal injury. Seek the
assistance of at least one other person to perform this step.

!

HEAVY

CAUTION

12

Cut the plastic strap that is securing the backbox.

Caution: The strap is under tension and may move
unexpectedly when cut.

!

13

Lift the backbox up into place and secure it

upright with one hinge bolt on either side using a

9/16” socket or wrench.

After tightening these
bolts, the hinges should
not contact the sides of
the cabinet. There should
be a gap of about 1/8”.

i

Caution: Do not deform the hinges
by overtightening the bolts.

!

Locate the blue [KEYS] label on the coin

door. Remove the label and use the keys to

unlock and open the coin door.

Locate the yellow lever inside the cabinet on the

upper right and move it to the left to release the

lockbar.

15

Lift the lockbar from the machine and carefully

set it aside.

With the lockbar removed, the glass may slide outwards
under gravity. If this occurs, hold it in place and proceed
to the next step.

!

16

Close and lock the coin door. Then slide the glass

out from the front of the machine.

Playfield glass is made from
high-strength tempered glass,
which is sensitive to extreme
temperature shifts and corner
nicks. These conditions can
cause the glass to shatter.
Take care to store the glass
on a soft, room temperature
surface.

!

17

Locate and open the bag containing the pinballs.

The balls are coated by a light machine oil which

must be removed prior to use.

Using a soft cotton cloth, remove the oil from the

surface of each ball. Place the balls onto the

playfield, just above the flippers, allowing them to

roll down into the drain

After installing the balls, replace the glass, reinstall

the lockbar, and close and lock the coin door.

12x

Install the power cord into the power connector

on the back of the machine and connect it to a

grounded outlet.

19

Power on the machine by toggling the switch

located on the underside of the cabinet near the

front right corner.

Step 3. Operation

A few seconds after power-up, the
machine will stage the balls into
the ball trough. This is a loud
process which will finish within
about 15 seconds.
