							General Safety Considerations
WARNING • Only operate this machine after checking that has been
installed correctly and in accordance with the manual.
• Parts of this machine move during game play, so there are
places where the distance between the stationary section and
moveable section changes. There are warning notices to keep
hands and feet clear of moving parts, however if the operator
feels that a person is in any danger, he should warn that
person accordingly.
• The warning notices must always be kept in good condition
and replaced if worn, so that the customer can read them
clearly.
• If there is an error or problem with the machine, operation
must be stopped immediately and the problem rectified before
any further use.
• Installation, service, adjustment or routine maintenance
should be carried out by suitably qualified persons only.
• For continued protection against fire hazard, replace the
mains-in fuses only with the same type and rating. The use of
other fuses or material is prohibited.
• The power supply inside the monitor will remain hot and have
areas of high voltage even though the machine has been
turned OFF, and there is the possibility of burns or electric
shock. Be careful not to touch these areas.
• To prevent possible electric shock due to failure, this machine
MUST be fitted with a securely connected EARTHED plug.
• If at any time the mains supply lead becomes damaged it must
be replaced immediately.
• Do not turn the power switch ON until the machine has been
installed correctly.
CAUTION • Before connecting the machine to the mains supply, ensure that the
machine is set for the correct voltage and that the correct fuses are
fitted.

This is a racing game for one player. The player can select from two courses, of
different difficulty level, and to race for position against the computer.
• The objective of the game is to cover the selected course as fast as possible
within the specified time.
• If the finish line is reached within the specified time, the player’s position, time
and jump distance (*) is displayed and the game is over.
* There are three continuous jumping platforms during the course where the
player competes for jumping distance. The distances jumped are displayed
at game over if the player has reached the finish line within the game time.
• The game is over if the specified time period reaches 000
(1) Operation
• Steering control is performed by tilting the ride assy to the left or right. Tilt the
ride assy to the left to turn left and tilt it right to turn right.
• The speed is controlled by operating the accelerator lever on the handle of the
control arm assembly. Pull the lever to increase speed and release the lever to
slow down.
If the control arm is raised, the viewpoint moves up, and the viewpoint moves
down when the arm is lowered.
• By moving the control arm up and down rhythmically, it is possible to perform
mini jumps at places other than the jump ramps. (expert course only)
• If the handle arm is held when splashing down onto the water from a jump, it is
possible to go under the water for a short time. (expert course only)
(2) Starting the Game
• After inserting the correct amount of money and pressing the start button, the
Select Course screen will be displayed. Tilt the ride assy left or right to choose
the required course and then operate the accelerator lever to select the course
chosen.

4. Moving the Machine
WARNING • When moving or carrying the game, make sure to dis-assemble the game into four parts: header 
assembly, Front assembly, ride assembly and coin
tower.
• The game is fitted with castors to make it easier to move. Take care when moving the machine on an
inclined surface.
• The game is still heavy even when separated in to four parts, ensure that there is an adequate
number of people to move the game.
• The Header Assembly has a forward centre of gravity, so it is important that at least 
two people
are used to fit or remove the Header Assembly.
• The fitting position of the Header Assembly is very high, and it is important that a means of reaching 
the height safely, without stretching, is available.
(e.g. steps, step stools etc.)
• The overall height of the main assembly is 2300mm, take care of any overhead obstructions
e.g. light fixtures.
NOTE: The Front assembly can be further dismantled by removing the projector from the projector base.  (See section 5-1 “Removing
the Projector from the Projector Base”.)
