Page 23 7. MAINTENANCE Maintenance and repair should only be carried out by competent persons. WARNING • Do not make any alterations to this machine without prior approval. Doing so could cause unforeseeable danger. • Only parts specified by Namco Europe Ltd. should be used when replacing or repairing parts (including screws). • Ensure that power to the machine is turned OFF before commencing any maintenance work (troubleshooting, repairs etc.) • If performing work not described in this manual, be sure to contact your distributor for instructions as no responsibility will be accepted for damage or injury. • Parts of the power supply and projector monitor remain hot and carry high voltage even after switching OFF and could cause burns or electric shock. Take care not to touch these parts accidentally. • Make sure that the machine is switched OFF before connecting or disconnecting any plugs or connectors. • When removing the mains plug from the wall outlet, always grasp the plug not the cable.
Page 24 7-1 Pedal Pressure Adjustment This game is designed so that the pedal pressure can be adjusted. This will have an effect on the difficulty of the game. At the time of shipment, the pressure is set to a light setting. The mechanism becomes uncovered so take care not to trap hands or fingers in the mechanism 1) Remove the four security screws (M5x12) and remove the upper cover. 2) Remove five security screws (M5x20) and four security screws (M5x12) and remove the right side cover. 3) To change the pedal pressure, loosen the truss screw (M5x12 Pozi) and move the magnet unit. The pressure becomes less when the magnet unit is moved away from the flywheel, and heavier when it is moved towards the flywheel. Check the pressure by pedalling each time the magnet unit is moved. When the required pressure is achieved, fully re-tighten the truss screw. 4) Refit the side and top covers.
Page 25 7-2 Inspecting or Adjusting the Drive Belt The mechanism becomes uncovered so take care not to trap hands or fingers in the mechanism 1) Remove the three security screws (M5x12) and remove the upper cover. 2) Remove five security screws (M5x20) and four security screws (M5x12) and remove the right side cover. 3) Press the centre of the belt with a push type scale, or pull the centre of the belt with a spring type scale. The drive belt should have 4 to 5mm slack when a force of 500g is applied. If there is more or less slack, the belt needs adjustment. 6-2-1 Adjusting the Drive Belt 1) Remove the top and right side covers as above. 2) Remove four security screws (M5x12) and remove the left side cover. 3) Slacken the two hexagonal flange nuts (3/8”), one either side, retaining the Flywheel.
Page 26 4) To increase the tension, slacken the front nylon nuts (M6) and tighten the rear nylon nuts (M6). To decrease the tension, slacken the rear nuts and tighten the front nuts. Note: To ensure that the flywheel remains parallel within the frame, adjust each nut on both sides by the same amount. 5) After adjustment, turn the pedals three or four times to ensure that the drive belt remains central across all pulleys. If the belt drifts of\ f to one side, the flywheel is not parallel and will need adjustment to one side. 6) When adjustment is complete, tighten fully all nylon nuts and the two hexagonal nuts. 7) Refit the side and top covers. 7-3 Removing the Flywheel or Drive Belt 1) Remove the top and side covers, (see section 7-2) 2) Remove the security screw (M5x12) and remove the pedal cover on the right hand side. 3) Remove the three pozi head screws (M5x12) which fasten the right hand pulley cover. It is not necessary to remove the cover completely.
Page 27 4) Remove the four Pozi head screws (M5x12) and remove the wheel cover. 5) Remove the hexagonal flange nuts (3/8”) on both sides and the four eye bolts which retain the flywheel shaft to the frame assembly. 6) Move the flywheel forward to release the tension on the drive belt, and slip the drive belt off the pedal pulley.
Page 28 7) Move the flywheel back to disengage it from the cycle frame. Note: When disengaging the flywheel, the link unit will come off the shoulder bolt, so hold it by hand. 8) Lift the flywheel up a little and remove the drive belt from the flywhee\ l pulley. 9) Remove the flywheel together with the entire link unit by withdrawing th\ e assembly from the right hand side. 10) Re-assembly in reverse order. Note: When re-assembling, fit the flange nuts and nylon nuts finger tigh\ t until the drive belt tension has been adjusted. (see section 7-2-1)
Page 29 7-4 Inspecting and Replacing the Pedal Sensor Sticker 1) Remove the top and left side covers (see section 7-2) 2) Remove the two Pozi head screws (M5x10) and remove the sensor PCB. 3) Look through the square cut out and make sure that the sensor sticker is\ not dirty or damaged. 4) If the sensor sticker is dirty wipe it with a clean soft, dry cloth. If \ it is damaged it will need to be replaced. 5 ) Remove the flywheel (see section 7-3). 6) Remove one nylon nut (3/8”) and remove the tension pulley. Note: There is a thick flat washer and an adjustment flat washer on the tension pulley shaft. Take care not to lose them. 7) Peel off the old sensor sticker and replace with a new one. When replacing the sticker ensure that the sensor sticker is central on the tension pulley. If the sticker is off centre by even 1mm the pedal rotation sensor may not read the sticker properly. 8) Re-assemble in reverse order. Note: When re-assembling, fit the flange nuts and nylon nuts finger tight until the drive belttension has been adjusted. (see section 7-2-1)
Page 30 7-5 Replacing the Fluorescent Tube DANGER; To prevent electric shock, ensure machine is switched OFF before commencing work. 1) Remove the ten socket button head screws (M5x12), and remove the side vac-forms. (five screws on each vac-form) 2) Remove the two countersunk screws (M5x12) from the bottom of the acrylic. 3) Remove the two socket button head screws (M4x25), and remove the header acrylic retaining bracket. 4) Remove the header acrylic. 5) Replace the fluorescent tube and/or the starter. 6) Re-assemble in reverse order.
