							MAINTENANCE
ICE SURFACE
The ice surface should be cleaned as needed, using
Windex, Fantastic, or a comparable product.  Apply
liberally to a lint–free cloth, wipe surface thoroughly, and
let dry.  For a “faster” ice surface, dust lightly with Pledge
and let dry.
DOME
The Lexan dome should be cleaned as needed, using a
furniture polish type of cleaner.  Apply to a lint–free cloth
and wipe dome thoroughly.
NOTE: PLEDGE IS RECOMMENDED.  ALWAYS TEST
THE CLEANER YOU INTEND TO USE ALONG THE
FLANGE TO MAKE SURE THE CLEANER WILL NOT
HARM THE DOME FINISH.  TO REMOVE SCRATCHES,
A SPECIAL SCRATCH REMOVER FORMULATED FOR
LEXAN SHOULD BE OBTAINED.
PLAYERS
Periodically inspect the players for appearance or possible
damage.  Replace when necessary.
EJECTOR MECHANISM
Periodically test the mechanism by scoring goal and
observing puck ejection.  If puck fails to eject, does not
clear ice surface, or ejects with excessive lean in one
direction, the mechanism is not working correctly.  Open
the dome and remove the ice surface.
NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THE FLAT
WASHERS.Start the game and observe operation. Check for foreign
particles under the ejector wire. The entire bracket
assembly can be bent to correct excessive lean in one
direction. Be sure all parts work freely. Check by pushing
the solenoid plunger only, to see that the ejector lifts up
about 3/8” from the cabinet bottom. If more or less
movement is noted, the ejector wire can be bent forward or
backward where it meets the plunger to obtain proper
operation.
Excessive random angle ejections can be straightened by
tightening the pivot screw. An ejector that sticks in the up
position can be fixed by loosening the pivot screw.

							MAINTENANCE
GEARBOXES
Gearboxes should be inspected periodically to ensure
smooth operation.  Gearbox tracks should be kept as
clean as possible.  If a gearbox seems to rotate stiffly, first
check to see that a rod collar is not pushed up tightly
against it (this can happen if a grip comes off a rod and a
gearbox hits a solid object, usually on defensemen).  Back
off a collar from a gearbox by loosening, moving, and
retightening.
NOTE GEARBOXES ARE LUBRICATED FOR LIFE AND
SHOULD NOT BE OILED OR GREASED.
ROD BEARINGS
Check once a year for excessive wear.  Replace when
necessary.PUCK CHUTE
Clean periodically to ensure a good sliding surface.  Check
for cracks.  Small cracks can be glued with a C/A
adhesive.  Large cracks require changing the part.
GOALIE MECHANISMS
Check for smooth operation.
RODS
Check periodically for cracks and gouges. Replace if
necessary. Clean Mineral Spirits or Paint Thinner. Do not
allow cleaner to contact the Dome, as it will damage the
Dome.
TRACKS
Check periodically.  Clean by pushing a rag along the
length of the track.
SENSORS
These should be tested periodically by moving the puck
over the “Oh” sensors and through the score sensors. 
						

							TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR
PUCK WILL NOT EJECT
For some ejection problems the ice surface may have to
be removed.
1. Opening the dome and sliding all of the players to
the center ice can correct dirt in the puck ramps.
Next, remove the goalies one at a time, bend up
the ice surface and clean the ramps.  Assemble in
the reverse order.
A leaning puck ramp can be corrected by observing
which way the puck leans as it rolls down the ramp
and bending the ramp to one side or the other,
back by the net chute assembly.
3. A puck ramp may become pushed up during
shipping or moving.  Just push it back down in the
retainer/chute with a pencil or screwdriver.
4. A unique electronic circuit incorporated on the
main PC Board prevents the eject solenoid from
burning out.  If a solenoid problem is suspected,
check for a pulse of about 12 volts at the solenoid.
Then remove the wires to the solenoid and check
that the coil is not open or shorted.  A good
solenoid will read between 3–4 ohms.
NOTE: REPLACE THE SOLENOID ONLY AFTER
DETERMINING WITH AN OHM/VOLT METER THAT THE
SOLENOID WAS RECEIVING POWER.PUCK TAKES TWO OR THREE TIMES TO EJECT
A puck hitting the ice surface can be corrected by first
making sure the ice surface is in place.  If it is in
place, observe which way to bend the retainer
chute assembly to line up with the opening in the
surface.
To determine if the ejector wire is misaligned, first
remove the ice surface and then start the game.
Look straight down the ejector chute and observe
how the puck ejects.  If the puck consistently hits
one side of the chute, the ejector wire should be
adjusted.  Refer to the maintenance section for
specific directions, under “Ejector Mechanism.”

							TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR
GEARBOX IS DIFFICULT TO TURN
1. A gearbox–coupling collar may have been forced
against a gearbox causing uneven or difficult
turning.  The usual cause for this is a handle grip
coming off a rod and allowing the gearbox to hit
either another gearbox or a cabinet end.  To
repair, simply loosen the collar and back it away
from the gearbox between 1/32” and 1/16”.
Retighten.
2. Gear teeth being stripped out will generally cause
binding at certain points of rotation.  This situation
should not occur until many games have been
played.  However, to check for bad gears, first
remove the gearbox from the game.  Loosen the
gearbox collar and slide out the gearbox.  If teeth
on gears are worn out, replace the gearbox.
3. A worn gear bearing can cause a gearbox to work
improperly.  If you suspect a gear problem, first
remove the gearbox from the game.  If no
problems are visible, disassemble the gearbox.  If
a worn bearing is found, replace the gearbox.
GAME LIGHTING DIM
1. The scoreboard bulb may be burned out.  Open
the dome and see if the bulb appears to be burned
out while the game is plugged in.  Unplug the
game.  Remove the screws holding the right
diffuser in place.  Replace the light bulb and
reassemble.
2. Very low AC power will cause poor lighting.  To
test, use a voltmeter on the suspect line to
determine voltage.  A CHEXX game hooked up to
a line with too many other games may experience
this difficulty.  Move the game to its own AC line if
this problem is experienced.NO LIGHT IN GAME
1. The light bulb may be burned out.  Open dome
see if bulb is burned out.  Replace if necessary.
2. A loose scoreboard connector is not likely to affect
the bulb without affecting some other component
in the scoreboard.  However, make sure the
connectors are firmly seated.
PLAYERS RUN INTO THE END OF THEIR SLOTS
1. A rod collar slipping may cause a player to hit the
end of a slot in an ice surface.  Open the game
and rotate the rod until you can see the rod and
gearbox touch, through the slot in the collar.  If the
rod and the gearbox do not touch, loosen the
collar make sure the rod and gear box coupler
touch, and retighten the gearbox.  Be sure to
leave 1/32” to 1/16” between the collar and the
gearbox body.
SCORE INDICATORS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY
1. A bad LED may cause malfunction.  Replace the
scoreboard and run electronic tests on the faulty
unit.
2. A bad scoreboard chip may cause indicator
malfunction.  Replace the scoreboard and run
electronic tests on the faulty unit.
3. A loose connection may cause malfunction.
Check and repair as necessary.
GAME LOSES PLAY SEQUENCE. GIVES FALSE
SCORE, WILL NOT START WHEN MONEY IS
INSERTED
1. Although game is protected against static
electricity, an unusually large shock will cause the
microprocessor to lose sequence.  To correct the
problem, turn off power and turn it back on to
reset electronics.
2. A game plugged into an ungrounded outlet has no
protection from static electricity.  A large enough
shock may destroy the IC chips.  Electronic tests
may be run to determine the fault. Repair as
necessary .

							TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR
COINS NOT REGISTERED CORRECTLY
1. A bad micro–switch may be a problem due to
internal failure.  Test with an ohmmeter.  Replace if
necessary.
2. Loose connections may cause money to be
registered improperly.  Check the connectors from
the coin mechanisms, as well as the connectors
on the main PC Board.  Repair if necessary.
3. A bad capacitor (CZ5) on the main PC Board may
cause bounce problems with the micro–switch.
Run electronics tests to determine the problem.
NO “OH” SOUNDS OR REPEATED “OH” SOUNDS
1. Short or open circuits in the harness or one of the
reed switches on the “Oh” sensors are the most
common problems.  Repair as necessary.
2. A bad IC chip on the main PC Board may cause
problems.  Run electronics tests.  Repair defective
components.
SCORE IS NOT REGISTERED–NO CHEER
1. A bad Reed Switch may cause a goal not to
register.  Disconnect and test with an ohmmeter.
Replace if defective.
A bad connection could be a problem.  Check
associated harnessing and connectors with an
ohmmeter.
SCORE IS NOT REGISTERED–GAME CHEERS
1. A scoreboard connector may be loose or bad.
Repair or correct as necessary.
2. A bad scoreboard IC chip may be a problem.
Replace the scoreboard and run electronics tests
to determine the problem.
SCORE AND CHEERING KEEPS REPEATING FOR ONE
TEAM WITH NO GOALS ACTUALLY BEING SCORED
1. A Reed Switch shorted to the cabinet will cause
this problem.  Usually an exposed wire touching
the cabinet will be the cause of the problems.
2. A Reed Switch, always closed, can be tested by
first disconnecting it from the board.  Use an
ohmmeter to see if the switch is always closed.  If
it is, replace the score Reed Switch.
SOUND GOES LOW OR GOES ON AND OFF1. Check the audio IC chips on the main PC Board.
Replace any defective parts.
2. A faulty volume control is a possible cause for
intermittent sound.  Rotating the volume control
will usually show a problem.  Many times, the
problem can be corrected by cleaning with a
commercially available switch cleaner.
3. A bad speaker connection to the main PC Board
may be the problem.  Check and repair as
necessary.
PLAYERS RUB ON THE SIDES OF THEIR SLOTS
1. On rare occasions a track may become bent,
forcing the player to work improperly.  If, when the
ice surface is properly located, you can see the top
of an aluminum track, the track must be bent.
Use a large screwdriver or other suitable object,
and gently pry in the desired direction to obtain
clearance.  Check for smooth operation.
NOTE: BE SURE NOT TO GOUGE THE SIDE OF THE
CHANNEL WHEN PRYING.  A RAG SHOULD BE
WRAPPED AROUND YOUR SCREWDRIVER.
NOTE: ALUMINUM TRACK  IS NOT VISIBLE IN PHOTO.
