5. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
5-1. Quick Troubleshooting:
TROUBLESHOOTING PHILOSOPHY
When troubleshooting any product, certain general guidelines should be followed.
1. Always check to be sure that you game is turned on. Be sure that all of the fuses in the game are functional and
check to see that the AC voltage is in the proper operating range for your game.
2. Check to be sure that all of the game harnessing is plugged in properly and that all of the pins are firmly seated in
the connectors. It is always possible that a harness can be damaged by rough shipping or moving.
3. Check game harnessing to be sure that none of the wires have become damaged. Using a handheld multi-meter,
check continuity of the wires to make sure they are not broken.
4. Check for obvious damage to any P.C. Boards or electrical components.
5. If you have multiple games or multiple parts on a game, change or exchange the parts and see if the problem goes
away or moves to another location. This way you can quickly eliminate certain parts as being the problem with the
game.
6. When changing electronic or electrical components, ALWAYS turn off and unplug the game.
7. Check to see that all power supplies are delivering the specified voltages to the P.C. Boards and components as
shown in the manual.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the rubber ball hammock does not move, be sure to check the following for possible problems in this order:
1. Check game for proper power source at game and main fuse.
2. Check to be sure that you are supplying at least 90 PSI of clean compressed air to the game and that the pressure
regulator is set for 90 PSI (pounds per square inch). The air line must be connected to the pressure regulator inside
the game.
3. Check all wiring connections and ground wires inside lower cabinet.
4. Check hand option is set to 1.
5. Check that the Push button assembly LED sensor boards are working properly. There are 2 boards on the button
assembly. Each one has a test LED on it. Slowly push the button down and you should notice that the left sensor
LED should flash off and back on when the button is pushed down slowly. The sensor on the right hand side should
also flash the same way as the button is pushed down further. If one of the sensors LED’s do not flash when the
button is moved slowly, one of the sensors is either dirty and needs cleaned; or faulty and must be replaced. Both
sensors must be working for the game to function properly. On a rare occasion a faulty board might be the cause.
6. If the protector diode to the air valve is bad, the air valve will not work correctly. To test for proper operation of the
diode, disconnect the connector to the air valve. Disconnect the other end of the harness at the Main P.C. Board.
Insert a test meter into the connector that plugs into the air valve and do a diode check. If the diode is bad, replace
the diode.
For your safety and to reduce risk of damage to your game read the Important Safety
Information in Chapter 2-2 before attempting any troubleshooting procedure.
