SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
Floor Model Installation
1. Locate and remove the plastic bag stapled to
the top of the base section. This bag contains
the game keys.
2. Open the control panel door
and pull up on the target sec-
tion until the Velcro latch on the
target section door separates
from the Velcro hook on the
base section. Continue pulling
the target section up until it
locks into its upright position.
Be careful not to damage any
of the cables that run from the
target section into the base
section. Close the control
panel door. Refer to Figure 1.
3. Use the provided key to unlock
the target door. In the upper,
right corner of the target sec-
tion you will see a safety hook
holding the door in its closed
position. Push the hook up-
ward to release the target
door. Inside, stapled to the
floor of the target section, you
will find a plastic bag with three
threaded knobs. Place the
knobs and washers in the
holes provided, as shown in
Figure 3.
4. Close the target section door.
5. Using the key provided, open the coin box
door.
6. Locate and remove the bag of hardware in-
side the coin box. This hardware is used to
secure the game to the wall. Refer to the in-
structions contained within the bag to prop-
erly install the hook needed for your applica-
tion.
7. Move the game into position. Adjust the
levelers until the game does not rock and is
stable; use the level built into the control panel
of the game to determine when the game is
level. Attach the safety chain from the game
to the wall hook installed in
Step 6.
8. Set the floor mark for the throw
line. In the U.S.A., the throw line
should be placed 8 feet from the
face of the target. In some Eu-
ropean countries, the throw line
distance is placed 2.44 meters
or 2.37 meters from the face of
the target. Consult your local
rules for throw line distances.
The throw line decal can be
found in the coin box.
9. Remove the line cord from its
slot at the bottom, rear of the
game (see Figure 1 for loca-
tion). Plug the cord into the wall
outlet and power up the game.
