4 . ASSEMBLING AND INSTALLATION

Assembling should be performed as per this manual. Since this is a complex machine, erroneous assembling may cause damage to the machine, or malfunctioning to occur. When assembling, be sure to perform work by plural persons. Depending on the assembly work, there are some cases in which performing the work by a single person can cause personal injury or parts damage.

When carrying out the assembly work, follow the procedure in the following 5-item sequence:

ASSY OF THE REAR CABI (COCKPIT)

ASSY OF BILLBOARD

SECURING IN PLACE (ADJUSTER ADJUSTMENT)

POWER SUPPLY

ASSEMBLING CHECK

Note that the tools such as a phillips screwdriver and wrench for M16 hexagon bolt w/24 mm width across flats are required for the assembly work.

ASSY OF REAR CABI (COCKPIT)

Permanantly tightening the hex bolts should not be completed until the leg levelers are adjusted properly.

www.seuservice.com

Install the coin chute tower on the Right-hand side of cabinet. Open the coin chute door and the cashbox

door to secure with the 4 hexagon bolts from inside the doors. Please note that the Coin Chute tower is NOT mounted

THE GAME HAS ONLY ONE COCKPIT AND THE COIN TOWER WILL MOUNT ON THE RIGHT SIDE AS YOU

FACE THE CABINET..

www.seuservice.com

ASSY OF THE BILLBOARD

Due to its large size, it is very difficult for one person alone to install the billboard, Make sure 2 or

more persons are available to perform this work. Attempting to perform the installation alone can

cause an accident.

Mount Billboard on cabinet by ensuring the front lip of the Billboard is securely placed under the mount-

ing bracket already installed on the cabinet. Fasten with the 3 hexagon bolts.

Connect all of the 4 connectors inside the Billboard box (This needs to be done prior to final installation

of Billboard Assy).

www.seuservice.com

SECURING IN PLACE (ADJUSTER ADJUSTMENT)

Be sure to have all the Adjusters make contact with the surface. Unless the Adjusters come into contact with the surface, the Cabinet can move of itself, causing an accident.

This machine has 4 each of casters and adjusters (shown below). When the installation position is determined, cause the adjusters to come into contact with the floor directly, make adjustments in a manner so that the casters will be raised approximately 5mm. from the floor and make sure that the machine position is level.

Move the machine to the installation

position.

Cause all of the leg levelers to make

contact with the floor. By using a wrench,

make adjustments in the height of the leg

adjusters to ensure that the machine's

position is level.

6 . CONTENTS OF GAME

The following explanations apply to the case the product is functioning satisfactorily. Should there be any

moves different from the following contents, some sort of faults may have occured. Immediately look into

the cause of the fault and eliminate the cause thereof to ensure satisfactory operation. During the Advertise

mode, the Billboard’s Decoration Lamp lights up periodically. When the machine is energized, the

Billboard’s Fluorescent Lamp is always lit. The Steering Wheel repeats centering action periodically. Auto-

matic centering will apply to the Steering Wheel if it is not centered. During the Advertise Mode, sound is

emitted from the Speaker beside the Monitor.

OUTLINE OF GAME

The Player as a taxi driver picks up a passanger (hereafter customer) randomly appearing on the the Game

Field waiting for a taxi, and takes the Customer tot he desired destination. Time Limit is set for each Cus-

tomer (displayed on the upper left-hand side of Customer while traveling). If the taxi takes Customer to the

destination within the time limit, Customer pays the fare (the player earns points.).

On the contrary, if the player fails to take the Customer to the destination within the time limit, Customer

will get off and results in no fare (no points) for the player. The Player is to accomplish the above within the

time limit of the game (displayed on the upper left-hand side of the screen) repetitively as many times as

possible. When time limit becomes zero (0), the game is over. The game is aimed at earning money as much

as possible by taking as many Customers as possible to their destinations within the time limit.

HOW TO OPERATE

The operation of Steering Wheel, and Accelerator & Brake pedals are similiar to an actual car.

SHIFT LEVER

Input to (D) towards the monitor side to drive forward, and to (R) towards you to reverse. Auto transmission

and not manual is applied to speed shifting. The DR LAMP displays Forward (D) and Reverse (R), which-

ever is being inputted.

www.seuservice.com

HOW TO PLAY

Insert a coin.

Coin insertion causes credit(s) to be displayed on the screen. For example, in the case of 2 coins one credit

setting, “INSERT COIN(S) CREDIT(S) 1/2” is displayed when one coin is inserted.

Inserting one play worth of coin(s) causes “PRESS START BUTTON” to be displayed and the START BUTTON

to flash. Press the START BUTTON to have the character mode appear on this screen.

In the Character Select Mode, select on-screen player character. Turn the Steering Wheel left or right to shift to

each character select mode. Press the START button or step on either of Accel. or Brake pedal to decide on the

character being displayed.

While the Character Select Mode is displayed, countdown is executed. Counting down to (0) causes the character

being displayed to be selected automatically.

When the character is determined, the game starts. The

Taxi picks up the Customer who has the $ Mark above

him/her. There is a circular mark signifying the Stop Area

in the periphery of Customer. Stop the taxi in the Stop

Area.

When the taxi comletely stops in the Stop Area, the on-

screen scene shifts and Customer rides in automatically. At

this time, the taxi is in status not operable.

When the Customer rides in, the neccessary time to the

destination is added to the Game’s Time Limit.

The color of the $ mark represents the distance of the

destination. Green indicates the furthest destination. The

distance becomes shorter sequentially in order of green--

>yellowish green-->yellow-->-->orange-->red.

Take the Customer to the destination. While traveling to the destination, time limit and the arrow showing the

direction of destination are displayed on the screen.

www.seuservice.com

The following explains as regards how to earn FARE (or score points).

The minimum fare is earned at the time the taxi picks up the Customer.

Basically, the best way to earn FARE is to take the Customer to their destiantion as fast as possible. In other words,

since the time remaining when reaching the destination is converted into FARE, the more remaining time is, the

greater the FARE the player earns.

In addition to the above, receiving a tip is another way of increasing the FARE. The tip awarded for doing some-

thing to please the customer is added to the FARE. Details are as follows:

Tip for dodging: Awarded when dodging other (ordinary) car at the very critical moment.

Tip for Jumping: Awarded when the taxi jumps over trailers, etc.

Tips for drifting: Awarded when the taxi drifts.

When awarding tips, coins are sent in a flying motion from the Customer towards the FARE METER. If tips are

consecutively earned, the earning rate increases (in combo) This combo effect resets if the taxi bumps against

another ordinary car.

The combo display appears below the FARE METER.

The Customer’s fare is not added to the TOTAL FARE unless the Customer is taken to the destination.

When reaching the destination, drop off the Customer. Stop the taxi within the destination area mark. When the taxi

completely stops within the area, the on-screen shifts to evaluation mode and the customer gets of automatically.

the Customer’s evaluation displayed in characters depends on the remaining seconds of the Customer time when

reaching the destination.

SPEEDY: Display of more remaining time/money converted from time is paid.

NORMAL: Display of normal remaining time/normal amount of money converted from

time paid.

SLOW: Display of less remaining time/less amount of money converted from time is
