Safety Mechanisms and Controls

For safety, this machine is equipped with a locking mechanism for securing the
steps when the machine is not being played.

• The step locking mechanism is controlled as describe below.
a. After selecting the course, the step lock is released before game start.
b. At game over, the steps are locked.
c. If the steps are moved left or right while they are locking or unlocking, the

motor temporarily stops in order to prevent damage to the step-lock motor.
When the steps are no longer being moved left or right, the motor will
restart. To prevent damage from occurring, do not move the steps while the
motor is running.

d. When the machine is first turned ON, the step-lock mechanism is checked

automatically by unlocking and re-locking the steps.

e. If the step-locking system fails, an error message will be displayed on the

monitor screen.
