QUICK-START LINKING GUIDE

NOTICE: Before completing installation, verify that each cabinet has a separate and

unique ID. Otherwise the link won’t function. For further information, see Linked Play

Adjustments Menu in Chapter Three of the operation manual.

NOTICE: To link three or four cabinets, you must use an Ethernet hub.

SET UP THE LINKS

[ ] 1. Switch off power to all cabinets. Remove cabinet access doors and linking cables. Check cabinet

linking cables. One end of each linking cable must attach to the Arcade Computer’s network

interface jack.

[ ] 2. To link two cabinets: If you’re only linking two cabinets, use one coupler. You don’t need a hub.

(You’ll find a coupler in a Manila envelope, inside the cashbox.)

[ ] 3. To link three or more cabinets: You need to add a hub to your network. Place the hub near the

rear of the cabinets. Connect all linking cables. When you use a hub, don’t use any couplers.

[ ] 4. Turn on cabinet power.

ADJUST GAME OPTIONS

CAUTION: Don’t connect or disconnect cables to the game electronics or hub with the

power on. Otherwise, you may damage the electronics and void your warranty.

[ ] 1. Find the diagnostic switches behind each cabinet’s coin door. Press and hold each cabinet’s

TEST MODE button to enter the Menu System.

[ ] 2. From each cabinet’s Operator Menu, select the Adjustments Menu.

[ ] 3. From each cabinet’s Adjustments Menu, select the Linked Play Adjustments Menu.

[ ] 4. LINKED PLAY. At each cabinet, set the LINKED PLAY option to YES.

[ ] 5. UNIT ID. Each cabinet must have a unique unit ID. Set the option UNIT ID to a separate number

for each cabinet.

[ ] 6. EXIT the menu system. If you changed any unit IDs, turn off all machines.

[ ] 7. RESTART ALL CABINETS. After the machines reinitialize, they’ll operate in Linked Mode.

[ ] 8. TEST THE SYSTEM. Test the network by playing a Linked Mode game on all linked machines.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The following safety instructions apply to operators and service personnel. Read these instructions before

preparing your VGM (video game machine) for play. Other safety instructions appear throughout this

manual.

DEFINITIONS OF SAFETY TERMS

DANGER indicates an imminent hazard. If you fail to avoid this hazard, it will cause death or serious

injury.

WARNING indicates a potential hazard. If you fail to avoid this hazard, it could cause death or serious

injury.

CAUTION indicates a potential hazard. If you fail to avoid this hazard, it may cause minor or moderate

injury. CAUTION also alerts you about unsafe practices.

NOTICE indicates information of special importance.

WARNING: TRANSPORTING VGMS. This VGM contains glass and fragile electronic

devices. Use appropriate care when transporting this VGM. Avoid rough handling when

moving the cabinet. Don’t move this VGM with the power on.

WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER. Always turn the power OFF and unplug the VGM

before attempting service or adjustments. Installing or repairing PC boards with power

ON can damage components and void the warranty. Be sure that you securely install

ground wires.

WARNING: GROUND VGMS. Avoid electrical shocks! Don’t plug in a VGM until you

have inspected and properly grounded it. Only plug this VGM into a grounded, three-

wire outlet. Don’t use a “cheater” plug, or cut off the ground pin on the line cord.

WARNING: HAZARD TO EPILEPTICS. A small portion of the population has a

condition which may cause epileptic seizures or momentary loss of consciousness

when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are present in our daily

environment. These persons experience seizures while watching some television

pictures or playing certain video games. People who have not had seizures may

nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.

If anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition

(e.g., seizures or loss of awareness), consult your physician before using video games.

Parents should observe their children while they play video games. If you or your child

experience the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching,

involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions, discontinue

use immediately and consult your physician.

Setup 1-3

WARNING: AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCKS. This video game machine does not utilize

an isolation transformer. Internal, cabinet AC isn’t isolated from the external, AC line.

WARNING: HANDLE FLUORESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE. If you drop a

fluorescent tube or CRT and it breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can fly eight feet

or more from the implosion.

CAUTION: CHECK POWER SELECTOR. Set the 110/220VAC selector on the power

supply for the correct line voltage. Check the selector setting before switching on the

VGM.

CAUTION: USE PROPER FUSE. Avoid electrical shock! Replacement fuses must be

of the same type as those they replace. Fuse voltage and current ratings must match

ratings on the original fuse.

CAUTION: ATTACH CONNECTORS PROPERLY. Be sure that printed circuit board

(PCB) connectors mate properly. If connectors don’t slip on easily, don’t force them. A

reversed connector may damage your VGM and void the warranty. Connector keys only

allow a connector to fit one set of pins on a board.

CAUTION: TAKE CARE WHEN SHIPPING HARD DISKS. The hard disk drive must be

packed in an anti-static bag. When shipping the drive for repair or replacement, pack it

in an approved container (P/N 08-8068). Never stack or drop hard disk drives.

NOTICE: This manual is subject to change without notice. Midway reserves the right to make

equipment improvements as engineering progress warrants.

PRODUCT CONFIGURATION

•Standalone Units

Each VGM (video game machine) is ready to play right out of the box. You can use the VGM Menu

System to set player variables in advance. Or you can leave these choices to players.

•Linked Units

Linking allows players to compete against each other (on one course). Operator menus are the same

as in stand-alone VGMs. With a coupler and linking cable, you can connect two VGMs. (You can

connect up to four VGMs with the optional Hub Linking Kit.) You’ll find a coupler in the spare parts

envelope. Look in the cashbox. The linking cable is factory installed.

INSTALLATION & INSPECTION

WARNING: The cabinets are top-heavy. While moving the cabinets, don’t push against

plastic parts.

[ ] 1. Remove and set aside items from the shipping containers. Remove all packing material. Inspect

for damage. Check the main cabinet exterior, the control section and the seat pedestal.

[ ] 2. Remove the keys from the steering wheel. Unlock and open the coin, cash box, and rear doors.

You’ll find electrical cords, mechanical components, and VGM spare parts inside the cash box.

[ ] 3. You can install an extra padlock to secure the rear door. You’ll find a hasp in the spare parts bag.

Remove the two lock bracket nuts from inside the cabinet, above the rear door opening. Slide the

hasp onto the bolts. Now the hasp should protrude from the hole in back of the cabinet. Reinstall

and tighten nuts.

CABINET SECURITY MODIFICATIONS

[ ] 4. Modify the lock plate at the top of the rear door. Remove the bolts and nuts from the lock plate.

Rotate the plate so that the slot will be above the door. Reinstall and tighten the bolts and nuts.

1-5

[ ] 5. Install one nut onto each leg leveler. Tilt the cabinet onto its side. Locate four threaded holes

under the cabinet. Install a leveler and nut into each hole. Don’t tighten the nuts yet.

[ ] 6. Tilt the seat pedestal onto its side. Locate three threaded holes under the seat pedestal. Install a

leveler and nut into each hole. Don’t tighten the nuts yet.

[ ] 7. Locate the caster wheel assemblies. Attach one caster onto each group of threaded studs. The

cabinet uses four swivel casters. The seat pedestal uses three. Place the swivel caster in front.

Place two locking casters in back. Tighten the caster mounting nuts very firmly.

INSTALL CASTERS AND LEVELERS

[ ] 8. Stand the cabinet upright and make certain that it rests in a stable position. Move cabinet to its

play location. Maintain clearance between the cabinet and walls, drapes, other VGMs, etc. Lower

each leg leveler until the cabinet is stable and level. Adjust the levelers to raise the wheels up off

the floor. Distribute the cabinet’s weight equally on each corner. Tighten the leveler nuts.

[ ] 9. Install the rear door. Close and lock this door. Leave the other doors open for now.

LOCATION OF SEAT PEDESTAL MOUNTING HOLES

1-6

[ ] 10. To protect seat pedestal mounting rails during shipment, the factory bolts them inside the cabinet.

Remove the 1/4-20 hex-head bolts that secure the rails. Slide the rails partway out of the bottom-

front cabinet opening. (See the nearby diagram for proper placement.)

[ ] 11. Fasten down the rails in this new position. Firmly tighten the rail bolts, but don’t torque them down.

Slide the seat pedestal onto the rails. Vertically position the rails. Remove the seat pedestal.

Tighten the rail bolts with a wrench.

NOTICE: When you install the seat pedestal, take care to avoid pinching wires!

[ ] 12. Roll the seat pedestal near the cabinet. Leave enough space to attach the wiring harness. Mate

each seat pedestal cable connector with its cabinet cable connector. Press connectors firmly to

seat contacts.

[ ] 13. Align the seat pedestal

opening with the rail ends.

Slide the seat pedestal

forward onto the extended

mounting rails. Align holes.

Attach the seat pedestal using

1/4-20, tamper-resistant

screws and large flat

washers. You’ll find a T27

wrench with the spare parts.

Use it to tighten these screws

firmly.

INSTALL THE LINE CORD

[ ] 14. The power cord is in the

cashbox. Match the holes on

the IEC plug with the prongs

in the receptacle. Push the

plug firmly to seat it.

[ ] 15. Before you plug in the VGM,

verify line voltage compati-

bility with the machine. Then

plug the VGM into a grounded

(3-terminal) AC wall outlet.

Switch on the VGM at the

on/off switch. (This switch is

on the cabinet roof. Face the

cabinet’s back. Find the on/off

switch to your right.) The

VGM will power up and begin

self-diagnostics. If diagnostics

find no errors, the VGM

enters Attract Mode. (Racing

scenes and sounds, player

scores, messages, etc.)
