7. Once you have cleaned up the routed area, install the trackball plate into the control panel using the ¼"
Flat Washers and ¼-20 Nylon Hex Nuts. Be sure the mounting plate is flush with the top of the control
panel.
NOTE: At this time you are only installing the trackball plate, do not install the trackball yet.
Button Preparation
The following are the steps you should take to prepare your control panel for the installation of the button
assemblies:
1. Cut out the template(s) (see Appendix H).
2. Using a tape measure, measure the specified distances from the center of the trackball hole in the
trackball plate and make a mark for both the left and right button reference points.
3. Lay each template over the appropriate reference marking point. Mark the centers of the remaining holes
using a sharp object.
4. Drill a 1 1/8" hole at each marked point.
NOTE: Do NOT install the trackball or buttons until the control panel graphics have been applied.
Once the installation is complete, be sure to use the System Controls test in the game’s System Setup menus to
ensure proper functionality of all the player controls.
CONTROL PANEL OVERLAY INSTALLATION
Silver Strike Bowler’s Club comes with an oversized control panel overlay that will accommodate a variety of
existing game cabinets, but works best on Golden Tee Fore!, NFL® Blitz™ and EA Sports™ PGA Tour® Golf
cabinets. Follow these instructions to correctly install the control panel overlay on one of these cabinets:
1. Make sure that the newly drilled control panel has a smooth, clean surface. Sand where necessary to make
sure the graphics are installed on an even surface.
2. Clean the control panel to make sure it is free from dust, grease, metal filings, etc. Make sure that all
residues (adhesive, overlay material, etc.) from the previous control panel graphics are removed. This will
ensure a clean, easy, and beautiful application of the control panel graphics.
3.
It is very important that the trackball and control panel graphics be mounted perfectly straight.
Find
the center of your trackball template and lightly draw vertical and horizontal guidelines on the control panel,
marking out your centering lines.
4. Remove a small section of the protective backing from the overlay. Carefully center the overlay over the
control panel by lining up the die-cut hole with the trackball template.
Be sure the graphic is positioned
perfectly straight.
Line up your pencil guidelines with the lines incorporated into the art. Once in position,
gently press down on the section with exposed adhesive, affixing the overlay into place. Once affixed, the
overlay cannot be removed.
5. While holding down the overlay over the attached area, very carefully turn over one side and remove the
exposed backing. Gently lay down the exposed overlay from the center outward, smoothing with your hands
or a roller as you go.
Be sure the overlay remains straight and square.
Repeat the process with the other
side of the overlay, so the entire surface is affixed to the control panel. Make sure all bubbles have been
pressed out for a clean, flat surface.
TIP:
Liquid window cleaner can be sprayed onto the control panel before placing the overlay onto the control
panel. The window cleaner will allow the overlay to be positioned with less risk of damage to the overlay or
adhesive. Once in position, use a decal roller or squeegee to force any excess cleaner out. Be sure to add
additional time for the liquid to evaporate.
6. Using an X-acto
®
knife (or other sharp instrument) carefully cut around the edges of your control panel,
trimming any excess material.
7. Find the center of each hole you've drilled out for the buttons and use the knife to poke a hole into the
overlay. Make a vertical and horizontal line (like a plus sign) from the center of the hole to the edges. You
should be able to place your button in later with no edges showing.
