WARNING
The cabinet is top heavy. Do not push against plastic parts during movement.
2.  Remove the keys from the steering wheel.  Unlock and open the rear door, and the coin and cash
boxes. Electrical cords, mechanical components, and assorted spare parts are packed inside the
cash box.

Location of Casters and Levelers
4.  The main cabinet is mounted on four swivel casters.  Roll the cabinet to its intended location,
maintaining clearance between the cabinet and walls, drapes, other games or obstructions. Roll the
control cabinet near the main cabinet, leaving enough space to attach the wiring harness.  Mate each
cable from the control cabinet to the main cabinet. Press firmly, but do not force, the keyed
connectors to seat the contacts. Slide the control cabinet toward the main cabinet between the
mounting brackets, guiding the harness and cables into the main cabinet.

							Operation - 7 5.  Lower and adjust each leg leveler on the control cabinet until it is stable and level.  Adjust the levelers
until the bottoms of both pieces are flush and parallel with each other.  Inspect for binding or pinched
wires.  Align the bracket holes with the mounting holes in the base of the control cabinet.  Insert and
firmly tighten the remaining fasteners to attach the two pieces together as a single unit.
6.  The pedestal assembly mounting rails are shipped bolted to the inside of the control cabinet. Remove
all of the ¼ -20 hex-head bolts used to fasten the rails inside the cabinet and set aside.  Individually
pull each rail out of the cabinet, flip it end for end, and reinsert it. See diagram for proper placement.
Fasten the rail to the inside of the control cabinet with the bolts until finger tight. Do not tighten these
bolts at this time, as some movement is required in the mounting rails to align holes with pedestal
assembly.
Location of Pedestal Assembly Mounting Holes
7.  Remove the screw beneath the coin vault enclosure on the right hand side closest to the mounting
rails to ensure a proper fit between the seat pedestal and the control cabinet.
8.  Slide the motion seat pedestal section as near as possible to the control cabinet, leaving enough
space to route the seat’s power cable and data cable, and to attach the speaker wiring harness. First,
route the power and data cables through the control cabinet into the main cabinet and out the rear of
the main cabinet. Secondly, mate the speaker wiring cables between the pedestal and the control
cabinet. Press firmly, but do not force, the keyed connectors to seat the contacts.  Ensure no wires
are pinched during pedestal attachment.
9.  Align the opening in the pedestal with the ends of the mounting rails.  Slide the pedestal forward onto
extended mounting rails and align the holes.  Attach pedestal assembly using ¼ -20 tamper resistant
screws and large flat washers.  A T27 wrench is included with the spare parts to tighten these screws
firmly.  Tighten the hex head bolts after the tamper resistant screws have been tightened.
10. Lower and adjust each leg leveler until the pedestal section is stable and level.  Adjust the levelers
until the bottoms of all pieces are flush and parallel with each other.  Inspect for binding or pinched
wires. Insert and firmly tighten the remaining fasteners to attach all three pieces together as a single
unit.
11.  An extra padlock may be installed to secure the rear door.  A hasp is located in the spare parts bag.
Remove the two lock bracket nuts from inside the cabinet, above the rear door opening.  Slide the
hasp bracket onto the bolts so that it protrudes from the hole in back of the cabinet, then reinstall
nuts.
12.  Modify the lock plate at the top of the rear door.  Remove the bolts and nuts from the lock plate, then
rotate the plate so that the slot will be above the door.  Reinstall the bolts and nuts and tighten firmly.

13.  Attach the data cable you routed through the cabinets from the motion seat to the serial port on the
CPU Board.
14. Reinstall the rear door onto the cabinet and close it.  Lock the rear door and remove the key.  If
required, install the extra padlock through the hasp at this time.  Install the screws at the top and
sides of the rear door and tighten snugly. Leave the remaining doors open at this time.
15.  Install the blue beacon light. The beacon light and required mounting hardware is shipped inside the
coin box with the spare parts. Mate the cable connector from the beacon light to the main cabinet
wiring. Press firmly, but do not force, the keyed connectors to seat the contacts.  Align the light with
the pre-drilled holes along the topside of the marquee and secure in place with the hardware
supplied.
NOTICE
Only install the beacon light once the 39” game cabinet is situated in the 
permanent intended location.
The 39” game cabinet will not fit through the average doorway once the beacon light is installed due to
an overall increased height dimension. Remove the beacon light whenever the cabinet is transported
or moved to another location.

leaving enough slack for the cord. Match the holes on the IEC plug with the prongs in the receptacle
and push firmly to seat the line cord.  Make sure the power cable from the motion seat is routed out
through the rear of the cabinet.

GAME FEATURES
CRUIS’N EXOTICA™ with motion seat ships configured for one-player game play.  Up to four cabinets
may be linked to promote player competition.
Cruis’n Exotica™ is the latest, most thrilling and adventurous driving game in the Cruis’n™ video game
series. Players can select tracks located in nearly a dozen exotic locales around the globe. From Tibet to
Atlantis, Mars to Hong Kong, it is every player’s goal to rack up high scores and mileage points.
Speeding on their way toward a first place finish, drivers listen to cool tunes on the radio as they pass
palms swaying in the breeze, 3-Dimensional animals cavorting roadside, and a variety of shortcuts hidden
along the way. A player’s combined speed and skill virtually assure a place in the winner’s circle.
Player incentives, like free games for top speeds and distance, are sure to captivate players and ensure
many trips around the track. A player finishing in first place soon discovers they have been whisked away
on a free trip to an exotic locale. (Player incentives are Operator Optional.)
For added excitement, the dashboard now features a keypad. Player’s are encouraged to maintain a
personal access code and to use the keypad to recall player statistics. Player statistics record mileage,
win-to-loss ratio and high scores. As soon as the personal access code is entered, the stored player
name and information is instantly recalled and displayed onscreen.
