							INTRODUCTION
GAME FEATURES
Thank you for your purchase of the new W ACKY
DUCKS
 redemption game from I.C.E.
Through an exclusive agreement with JUPITER
GAMES, I.C.E. is able to bring you an innovative
product with all of the features and reliability
youve come to expect in our games.
The game is constructed of a quality 7 ply MDO
plywood cabinet. The cabinet is then sealed,
painted and decaled using laminated graphics
that resist most common cleaning agents. All
metal parts are powder coated for maximum
beauty and durability.
The game uses creative lighting techniques to
draw game players to it and to enhance game
enjoyment. Long lasting rope light is used for the
marquee that is mounted behind a multi-color
graphics panel to create an attractive rainbow
pattern. Flashing ducks and super bright sign
grade florescent lighting round out the lighting
package.
A unique cartoon like Punching Glove on a
scissors mechanism gives the game a fun way
for Kids to play the game. The mechanism has
been extensively tested for durability and
reliability. The solenoid coil that drives the
mechanism is fan cooled and thermally
protected. The coil is also operated on low
voltage D.C. power.
The game electronics are at the same time high
tech, yet all drive components are chosen for
their long history of reliability. Surface mount
components and programmable logic arrays keep
the board size to a minimum and the reliability to
the maximum.
A high quality digital audio amplifier is used to re-
create some of the funniest sounds youll ever
hear in a game. A variety of funny duck sounds
will keep you laughing for hours on end.The ducks move along a belt that is powered by
a heavy-duty 12-volt gear motor. This motor has
been chosen for its long lasting and cool running
capabilities. It has a full-length drive shaft for
greater reliability.
All electronics are fully operator adjustable and
are adjusted via convenient programming buttons
located just inside the coin door. The game
allows the operator to choose a timed game or a
random hit game depending on the operators
location. (Please see the Game Play section
below and the programming section for further
information).
GAME PLAY
The game can be set up to be played in two
different ways. Both ways are described below.
TIMED GAME
The player inserts their money into the game to
begin. Behind the row of ducks are Frog displays
that have a time indicator on them. Once the
player tries to hit his first duck, the count down
timer will begin. (The timer will also begin if the
player does nothing for ten seconds or more).
Once the timer begins, the player needs to hit as
many ducks as possible before time runs out.
The player will be awarded tickets based on how
many ducks have been knocked down. The
player may also receive mercy tickets if they
were unable to hit any ducks.
ONE HIT GAME
In this version of the game, the player inserts his
money to start the game. Then the Frog display
will show a random number of Tickets that can
be won. This number will constantly continue to
change during game play.  The player can hit the
punch button multiple times, however the game 
						

							INTRODUCTION
ends once the player hits a duck. The player then
wins the tickets that were displayed at the time of
the hit.
NOTE: This game is generally set up as a One
Hit game. The operator can however set the
game up for a different predetermined number of
hits.

SETTING A.C. LINE
VOLTAGES
The game comes with 4 available line voltage
settings as described below. These settings
should be used to provide A.C. power in the
correct range to the game without over or under
powering it.
POW ER RANGE VOLTAGE SETTING
     90-110 V.A.C. 115
   110-130 V.A.C. 125
   200-220 V.A.C. 230
   220-250 V.A.C. 250
The game uses a POW ER MODULE to handle
all of the A.C. power distribution chores of the
game. It incorporates an On-Off switch, primary
A.C. game fusing, and power switching
capabilities. This allows the game to be used with
a wide variety of A.C. voltages by re-strapping
the main transformer.
A.C. LINE VOLTAGE
ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the game for a different A.C. voltage:
  Unplug the game from the outlet.
  Disconnect the power cord from the
power module.
  Using a small flat blade screwdriver, pry
the fuse holder from the power module.
  Notice a small window on the fuse holder
with an arrow that points to the voltage
the game is presently set at.
  Using a small flat blade screwdriver, lift
the retaining tab that holds the voltage
selector in the fuse holder.
  Rotate the voltage selector until the
voltage you want is displayed in the
voltage select window.
  Push the voltage selector back into the
fuse holder until it snaps into place.
NOTE: Do not force the selector into thefuse holder. If it does not go in easily, it is
not being installed correctly.
  Snap the fuse holder assembly back into
the power module.
  Plug the power cord back into the
receptacle in the power module, and into
the wall outlet.
NOTE: WHEN CHANGING VOLTAGES FROM
THE 115-125 TO 230-250 RANGE, LOW ER THE
MAIN FUSE AMERAGE VALUE BY ½.
WHEN CHANGING FROM THE 230-250 TO
115-125 VOLT RANGE, DOUBLE THE MAIN
FUSE AMPERAGE VALUE.
Plug the game in, turn the power on
and play a couple of game. Pay
attention to the sound volume of the
game.
ADJUSTING VOLUME
There are two volume control potentiometers on
the Main P.C. Board. The top one controls the
theme music and the bottom one controls the
sound effects such as Duck sounds, etc. Adjust
these during game play.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
After the volume is adjusted, proceed to the set
up / testing section to prepare the game for your
location. W hen all testing is done, re-install the
W ack y Ducks
 Sign, remove the keys, and roll
the game into its final location.  Lower the
