HOW TO: CALIBRATE ENCODER SENSOR

The Encoder Sensor communicates the position of the wheel in comparison to the orange arrow,
telling the game how many tickets the player has won.
There is a small margin between scoring spaces that allows for slight miscalibration of the encoder sensor.
If the arrow lands between spaces, the game will always award the player with the higher ticket value.
This also applies on the bonus spaces.
Open the wheel window (see page 11) and access
the main menu.
Manually turn the wheel downward and make sure
the ticket value displayed on the screen matches the
space the arrow is pointing to. Make sure to turn the
wheel one complete revolution so the game can find
the home position.
Turn the wheel as it approaches a bonus section.
Watch the display closely, and stop the wheel as
soon as it turns from a 4 to the bonus value. The
arrow should be right on the line between 4 and the
bonus space.
If the pointer is more than 1/2" off:
Open the left side door and locate the two Phillips
head screws on the sensor bracket which hold it
securely in the adjustment slots.
Loosen the screws and move the bracket slightly,
then retighten and restest.
Repeat as neccessary.
