• Use a power supply equipped with an electric leakage circuit breaker. If you
use a power supply without an electric leakage circuit breaker, a short circuit
may occur and start a fire.

• After laying out the power cord on the floor, make sure that it is securely

protected from exposure. If the cord is exposed anywhere, it could easily be
damaged if a customer should trip or stumble over it. Such damages could
cause accidents from electrical shocks or short circuits. Either lay out the cord
so it will not interfere with customer traffic, or protect it with a cover.

6-4 CONNECT POWER CORD

1. There is an AC unit on the cabinet rear panel. The AC unit has a main switch and an inlet for connecting the power
cord.

2. Confirm that the main switch is OFF.

3. The power cord is inserted from the bottom of the
cabinet and comes out through a hole in the AC unit.
However, it is not absolutely necessary to pass the
cord through the hole. In some cases, depending on
the environment in which the unit will be used, you
can connect the power cord directly into the inlet.

4. Insert the power cord connector into the inlet securely.

5. Insert the power cord plug into the power outlet
securely.

6. Lay out the power cord. Place a cover over the laid
out power cord so that it will be protected.

On this product, there is a power supply switch on the AC unit on the cabinet rear panel and on the internal switch
unit. (The internal switch unit is inside the service door. Use the operator’s key to open the service door.)

Even when both of these switches are ON, there will be no power unless the glass doors on right and left are closed
securely. Normally, leave one of these switches ON and turn the other power supply switch ON/OFF to use.
When the power supply is activated, the billboard, the internal fluorescent lighting, and the left and right fluorescent
lights all turn on.
Now we will check the operation (initialization) of all motors and sensors in the UFO mechanism of this product.

These operations are also carried out upon completion of the test mode.
When in [Display mode], all of the 7-segment displays (numeric display, hereafter “7-seg display”) read “-”, the
game cannot be played, and coins are returned. Initialization also does not take place. (See Section 12.)

INITIALIZATION

During initialization, the UFO mechanism moves in the following sequence.
If an error is discovered during this series of operations, an error message is displayed and the UFO mechanism
stops. (See Section 19)

1. UFO returns to home position (above the prize drop-out slot).

2. UFO moves toward the back of the cabinet. When it reaches the back limit, the UFO stops.

3. UFO moves sideways toward the center of the cabinet. When it reaches the center limit, the UFO stops.

4. UFO descends. When it reaches the lower limit, the UFO rises. Upon reaching the upper limit, the UFO stops.

5. UFO moves toward the front of the cabinet. When it reaches the front limit, the UFO stops.

6. UFO moves sideways toward the home position. Upon reaching the home position, the UFO stops. During stages
1 to 6 above, the UFO arm remains at the angle it assumed when the power supply was activated.

7. The UFO arm opens and closes.

8. After the arm closes, the catch sensor inside the UFO is initialized. This operation cannot be seen, but an error
message will be displayed if there is an error in the sensor.

FIG. 6-5 Initialization of UFO mechanism on player 1 side (left seat)

When the above initialization procedures are complete,
the customer-standby status is assumed.
In this product, credits are remembered even if the
power has been cut off. However, partial credits attained
for multiple coins and bonus adder counts are deleted.
If credits remain, the game-play status is assumed upon
completion of initialization.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN MOVING

7

Carefully observe the following when moving the product. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury during movement and/or damage to the
cabinet.

• Disconnect the power cord plug before moving the product. Be careful not to
damage the power cable during movement.

• To move the product over the floor, retract the adjusters and have the casters
come in contact with the floor.

• After the casters are in contact with the floor, exercise special caution, as the
unit could move by itself if the floor is inclined.

• To lift the cabinet, always lift it holding the bottom. If you lift the cabinet holding
other areas, parts or attachments could be damaged due to the weight of the
cabinet.

• Do not press on glass components while moving the product. Careless
handling could cause damage to other parts. Fragments may also cause
injury.

• When moving the cabinet over areas with level differences and the cabinet
is projected to tilt due to the incline, attach shipping brackets and secure the
UFO mechanism in place. If the UFO mechanism is not secured in place, parts
could be damaged.

PRIZE REPLACEMENT8

• Observe and follow the conditions listed below for prizes used with this product.
Failure to follow the conditions could lead to product malfunctions and
components may be damaged. The prizes themselves may also be damaged.

• Prizes can be stacked up to a maximum height of 40 cm (15.7 in), and 800 g
(1.8 lb) or less in weight. If this limit is exceeded, there could be product
malfunctions and components may be damaged. The prizes themselves may
also be damaged.

• Exercise special care when handling glass components. Careless handling
could cause damage to the glass. Fragments may also cause injury.

• If the larger arm L has been attached, enlarge the prize drop-out slot for large­size prizes. Otherwise there could be malfunctions or damage when the arm
makes contact. The prizes themselves may also be damaged.

• Do not place prizes on, or suspend them from, the mechanism rail or moveable
parts. This could cause product malfunctions and components may be
damaged.

• Even if prizes meet the conditions set forth in these instructions, there could be
unexpected faulty operations due to prize materials, shapes, and/or centers of
gravity.

Use the operator’s key to open the glass door, then place prizes in the play field.

CHANGING THE PRIZE DROP-OUT SLOT

If arm L has been attached for large-size prizes, enlarge the prize drop-out slot.
(These instructions are for the 2P side drop-out slot.)

1. Loosen the 2 plastic-head screws.

2. Support the bottom of the corner partition and slide it
to widen the drop-out slot. Do not press down on the
top of the corner partition (acrylic) to slide. Excessive
force could damage components.

3. Tighten the 2 plastic-head screws that were loosened.

GAME CONTENT9

The following explanations apply when the product functions normally. If the product behaves in a manner at
variance with the content below, there may be a malfunction of some sort. Try to identify the cause of the problem
immediately and repair it so that the unit can be operated normally.

HOW TO PLAY

In this product, the internal fluorescent lighting (for both billboard and internal lighting), and the left and right
fluorescent lights light up when there is electrical continuity.
During customer-standby status, the UFO mechanism is stationary at the home position (above the prize drop-out
slot).
All the buttons’ lights on the control panel go out and the BGM outputs standby music.
The BGM can also be set for no output.
Play fee and play count are displayed on the 7-seg displays on the control panel.
When in [Display mode], all of the 7-seg displays read “-”, the game cannot be played, and coins (or bills) are
returned. (See Section 12.)

1. When coins are inserted, the time remaining (how
long the UFO mechanism can be operated) and the
number of games remaining are displayed on the
7-seg displays at the seat that is being playing.

2. When 9 credits are exceeded, no more coins are accepted. (The coins are returned.)
For example, if it is set so that 1 coin equals 2 credits and 8 credits have been established, the total becomes 10
credits when the next coin is inserted. At this time, the 7-seg display blinks alternately between “1” and “0” and
no more coins can be accepted.

3. When the lever is manipulated, time count begins and the UFO mechanism moves in the direction in which the
lever is manipulated.

4. The arm of the UFO mechanism opens automatically whenever time runs out or the DOWN BUTTON has been
pressed.

5. When the arm of the UFO mechanism opens
completely, the UFO mechanism begins to descend.

6. Whenever the UFO mechanism comes in contact
with a prize or other obstacle, or when the wire is
stretched to its full length, the UFO mechanism
stops descending and the arm closes.

7. After the arm has closed, the UFO mechanism
begins to ascend. When it reaches the upper limit
sensor, the UFO mechanism moves back to home
position.

8. When the UFO mechanism reaches the home
position, the arm opens.

9. When a prize passes the sensor, the fanfare rings.

10. When the arm opens and closes, 1 game is complete.
If no credits remain at this time and the 7-seg
display reads 0, the game is over. The BGM
switches back to standby music. If credits remain,
the next game can be played.

11. If the lever is not manipulated for 90 seconds, 1
credit is erased and the UFO mechanism arm opens
and descends at the current position. The arm then
closes and ascends and the UFO mechanism returns
to home position.
