CHANGING MOTORS ON THE EEL OR PELICAN BONUS
Problem: The Pelican Bonus arm or the Eel Bonus arm assembly motor needs to be replaced. The Pelican Bonus and the Eel
Bonus share the exact same motor assembly. The parts are interchangeable between both assemblies. Both Bonus features
are designed so that they move up and down during game play in order for the player to attempt to catch the ball as it makes
its way through the playfield. Both of the motors that control these bonus arms will turn off after a certain period of time.
This is designed on purpose in the software to extend the life of the assembly and the motor. When the unit turns off, the
arm should be in the down position. Should you believe there to be a fault with either of these assemblies, please contact
JET technical support for advise on what could be causing the problem. Only proceed with the following instructions after
you have contacted JET and are directed to do so.
Step # 1
Determine if the motor is actually failed or if another fault exists
In some cases, operators can get
confused thinking that the motor is
broken when in fact the game is
functioning correctly. Both the bonus
feature arms only move when the unit
is coined up. This is designed to
extend the life of the motor and
linkage. To test, coin up the unit and
check for motion. If there is no
motion, check to make sure there is 12
Volt power going to both assemblies
after coin up.
Step # 2
Checking voltage, connection, and linkage.
In addition to power related problems,
the motors might not be moving due
to a connection problem or a linkage
issue. Check to make sure the linkage
is connected. Contact JET for further
instructions on troubleshooting the
motor. Only continue with the
following steps if JET has advised on
replacing the motor or motor
assembly.
