6-9. Handling Drive Castor Wear
This machine uses a moveable mechanism controlled by the pressing of a
drive castor against the metal roller. During the playing of the game, this castor
gradually wears due to the constant friction with the roller.
When the drive castor wears sufficiently, the pressure becomes poor, and the
seat assembly is no longer driven left and right and can be pushed easily
sideways by hand. This will take about a year to occur. (This is assuming that
the game is played 7.5 hours per day. This period will vary depending on how
often and for how long the game is played.
6-9-1. Checking Drive Castor Wear
The drive castor should be checked, when the machine displays the following
symptoms.
• Game play is possible on the screen, but the seat assembly does not
move.
• When the steering wheel is turned to the left or right, the seat assembly
movement is slow.
NOTE:
First check that the motor is working.
If the motor is not working, ensure that the motor switch in the under base is
turned ON.
If the motor switch is ON but the motor is not working , there is a motor
problem, and should be checked as described in section 7, "Troubleshooting".
Method of Checking
1) Ensure that the power to the machine is turned OFF.
2) Remove the fence, and rear cover (L) or (R). (
Refer to section 6-7-1,
"Removing the Rear Covers (L), (R)" on page 36.)
3) Look at the drive castor in the roller base. If the drive castor moves left and
right when the steering wheel is turned, there is no problem with the
steering linkage, and the problem is the drive castor worn out.
6-9-2. Action When the Drive Castor is Worn Out
If the drive castor is worn out, discontinue use of the machine until the
following has been carried out.
1) Turn the main power to the machine OFF.
2) Remove the fence.
3) Remove the rear cover (L), (
Refer to section 6-7-1,
"Removing the Rear
Covers".)
4) Turn the motor switch in the under base OFF.
5) Refit rear cover (L).
6) Refit and securely fasten the seat assembly shipping brackets that were
removed when the machine was first installed.
7) Refit the fence.
8) After the above has been carried out, turn the main power to the machine
ON.
9) After a new drive castor has been fitted, ensure that the game is re-
initialized before the game is played.
(Refer to section 6-7-1
, "Removing
the Rear Covers",
6-7-3,
"Replacing the Drive Castor", and
5-5,
"Adjustments When Replacing Parts".)
10) After fitting the new drive castor, remember to turn the motor switch ON.
