2. HOW TO PLAY
This is a new flight game in which the player gains points by riding a human-
powered propcycle and flying freely in the sky.
The player flies the propcycle and gains points by hitting and popping floating red
balloons.
(1) Operation
The game is operated by using the handlebars and pedals.
Handle:
- Handle Backward = Climb : The cycle gains altitude but loses speed.
- Handle Forward = Drop : The cycle loses altitude but gains speed.
- Handle Left = Turn Left.
- Handle Right = Turn Right.
Pedals:
- The cycle accelerates according to the pedalling speed.
- The cycle decelerates by pedalling backwards.
If the cycle is flown without moving the pedals, the speed drops gradually. If the
speed drops below a certain level, the cycle begins to drop rapidly. Speed is lost if the
player does not pedal fast enough to gain the desired altitude.
(2) Modes
There are two modes of play which can be selected at the start of a game.
1) Novice (Point / Speed mode)
The level of difficulty is rather easy, so any can enjoy the game.
One of three stages is selected at the start of the game, and the objective is to
burst as many balloons and score as many points as possible in the allotted time.
The player attempts to burst all the balloons for a perfect score in the allotted
time to record their name as the best time.
There is only one stage play, and continued play is not possible.
2) Advanced Mode (Story mode)
The level of difficulty is higher than Novice.
The player aims to reach the final destination, “Solitar”, by clearing all three
stages in any order they choose. Each time a stage is cleared by reaching the
required points total in the given time, play continues into the next stage. If a
player fails to clear a stage within the given time the ‘continue’ screen is
displayed. Each time the game is continued the required points for clearing a
stage is reduced.
After all three stages have been cleared, it is possible to challenge for “Solitar”.
If the “Solitar” is cleared, it is possible to see the final game ending. It is not
possible to continue in the “Solitar”.

4. INSTALLATION
Notes on Installation
DANGER NEVER turn the power to the machine ON until installation has
been completed.
DANGER In order to avoid injury or damage to the machine due to mis-
operation, ensure that the voltage of the mains supply is
230volts AC.
Also, in order to prevent possible electric shocks, be sure that
the machine is connected to the mains supply with a securely
connected earthed plug.
WARNING If the location site of this machine has a polished floor it is
recommended that rubber pads are fitted under the level
adjusters to prevent the machine sliding on the floor.
NOTE So that customers are not injured by the movement of the Cycle,
ensure that there is at least 500mm separation between other
machines or walls.
NOTE In order to gain access to the Power Supply and CPU assemblies,
make sure that the rear of the main cabinet is separated from a
wall or other machine by at least 500mm.

WARNING
This machine is designed for indoor use only.
The game must
 not be installed outdoors or under the following conditions:-
a. In areas directly exposed to sunlight, high humidity, direct water contact,
dust, high heat or extreme cold.
b. In locations that would present an obstacle in the case of an emergency,
i.e. near fire equipment or emergency exits.
c. On an unstable or uneven surface, or subject to floor vibration.
4-1 Fitting the Header Assembly
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.)
1. Place the Header Assembly on to the monitor cabinet, connect the
connectors and pass the connectors in to the cabinet, locate the blocks on
the base of the Header Assembly into the cutouts on top of the Monitor
Cabinet.
2. Fit the 2off M8x50 Hex Head Screws, Spring and Flat Washers to retain
the Header Assembly to the Monitor Cabinet. 
						

							Page 10 4-2 Connecting the Cycle Assy to the Monitor Cabinet
1, Connect the connectors between the Cycle Assembly And the Monitor
Cabinet.
2. Remove 2off Hex Head Set Screws (M8x25), Spring and Flat Washers on
each Joint Bracket, turn the Bracket over and refit, finger tight, using the
same screws and washers.
3. Push the Cycle Assembly fully up to the Monitor Cabinet, taking care not
to trap any wires.
4 Fit the Joint Brackets, finger tight, to the Monitor Cabinet using 2off Hex
Head Set Screws (M8x25), Spring and Flat Washers for each bracket.
When all screws have been located, tighten all the screws fully.
NOTE:-
When the machine is fully assembled and in its final position, lower the 8 level
adjusters, (4ea on the Monitor cabinet and Cycle Assy), with a spanner so that
the machine is level and all castors are raised from the floor by approx. 5mm.
Tighten the lock nuts with a spanner to ensure that the level adjusters do not
move.
