QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING
1. A self-test will be performed each time the front door is "closed" or the game is powered up.
2. If the Wagon does not move smoothly through a full travel from SIDE to SIDE, check to see
that the motor driver board is working properly, and that the rotary motor itself is working.
3. If the Wagon does not move smoothly through a full travel from front to back, check to see
that the rod bushings are straight and not binding. Check for excessively loose drive belts or
one of them broken.
4. If the front door is having trouble closing fully, check to see that the front door harness is
routed properly. Also be sure the prize door is fully shut. If it is partially open it will not allow
the front door to open or close properly.
5. If the door will not lock properly or locks with difficulty, check to see if the lock rotates
smoothly. Next check that the lock rods are not binding on the lock cam or the lock rod
guides. Next check that all friction points have been lubricated with molly grease. Finally if
need be, file the lock rod guides such that the door closes and locks smoothly but be careful
not to file out too much, for this may cause the door not to pull tightly to the cabinet as it was
intended to do. Adjust the lock rod striker plates if necessary.
6. If the decimals light up on the displays after a self-test, an error has been locked. To advance
through the error codes press the drop button when in error detection mode.
7. If, at the beginning of the self-test mode, the claw does not drop, one or more of the following
may apply. The prize sensor is not working, or blocked. The string or string lever is mechani-
cally binding. The up or down switch is sticking or misaligned from its actuator.
8. If claw stays closed it is likely that the diode has blown and the transistor controlling the claw
has also blown. Shut off the game immediately and have a new diode, in coil assembly, and
transistor, on main board, installed.
9. If claw is jerky while being lowered, it is likely that the string has mechanically bound on the
spool. To fix the string binding enter programming mode and go to CLAW UP/DOWN MODE.
By moving the joystick to the left and right you are able to raise and lower the claw mecha-
nism. Move the crane over the prize chute and lower the claw mechanism all the way until it
starts to wind up backwards. Reverse the motor direction to raise the claw mechanism and
properly rewind the string on the spool. Exit the programming mode and the string should be
free of mechanical binding.
10. If the claw stays open First check for bad fuses on the main board, next check that there are
no wires dislodged from the connectors in the harness between the wagon and the crane, the
harness between the wagon and the main board, the crane assembly and the wagon assem-
bly. If the problem still exists and no fuses are blown or wires dislodged it is likely that the
transistor controlling the voltage to the claw has blown on the main board. Replace main
board and have the other main board repaired by electronics.
11. If the crane/wagon in the home position still tries to move left or back, check to see that the
actuators are both present. Check to see that the sensors are present. Next check to see
that the sensors and the actuators are both aligned. Then check to see that the sensor wires
are not dislodged from the connectors. Finally replace the sensor; it is likely to be bad.
