							INTRODUCTION
GAME FEATURES
Thank you for purchasing the new Hammerhead game
from I.C.E.  This new “WACKY” game utilizes all the
proven technology of it’s predecessor Smack–n–Alien. ICE
has taken out the cost but not the quality, giving the
customer a fresh look with full reliability.
Game cabinetry is stylish, yet bright. The game has been
designed to be either a back–to–back centerpiece or a
wall unit that will enhance the look of any location. Thick
16 gauge metal panels and marine grade water resistant
plywood make the game extremely durable. The boat bow
is made of a special high impact styrene that is easy to
maintain.
The distortion printed marquee is made of .187 PETG. This
is back printed, which will prevent the customer from
damaging the printing. The PETG is more durable than
acrylic and therefore will withstand impact better.
Electronics and sounds are the state of the art in digital
technology. Robust design ensures a long trouble free life
for your game. The game is very flexible with its
programming options to allow it to be tailored to most
locations easily.
GAME PLAY
The object of the game is to hit as many sharks as
possible in the time allowed. (Note: the player must try to
hit the sharks that are in the up position to score points)
The player does not get penalized for missing a shark.
The high score for the day will be displayed for all new
players to try and match.
(NOTE: There is a bonus shark, the shark that pops up
before game play starts. If a player hits that on he will be
awarded one extra point.) 
						

							INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING THIS GAME, A
GROUNDED A.C. RECEPTACLE MUST BE USED.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO
YOURSELF OR OTHERS. FAILURE TO USE A
GROUNDED RECEPTACLE COULD ALSO CAUSE
IMPROPER GAME OPERATION, OR DAMAGE TO THE
ELECTRONICS
DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING
PRONG ON THE POWER CORD FOR THE SAME
REASON AS  GIVEN ABOVE.  USING AN  IMPROPERLY
GROUNDED GAME COULD VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK YOU’RE A.C.
RECEPTACLE TO BE SURE THE GROUND IS
FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
TOOLS NEEDED
The game normally comes fully assembled and ready for
use.
If however, you need to disassemble or reassemble the
marquee to the game for any reason, all that is needed is
a 5/32 security Allen wrench.
INSTALLATION
The game comes ready to play with just a few simple
things to keep in mind.
1. When installing the game, be sure you use a
grounded A.C. outlet. If necessary, have it checked to
be sure the ground is good.
THIS GAME IS DESIGNED TO DISSIPATE STATIC
ELECTRICITY THROUGH THE GROUNDING PLANE OF
THE GAME. IF THE A.C. GROUND DOES NOT WORK,
THE GAME COULD DISCHARGE STATIC ELECTRICITY
THROUGH THE GAME CIRCUITRY, WHICH COULD
CAUSE DAMAGE.
Make sure the game is level after installation. It is
necessary to make sure the game is level so the
game will work properly.
Place the game into its final location and use the adjusting
CAUTION: CHECK THAT THE A.C. VOLTAGE RATING ON
THE BACK OF THE GAME MATCHES THE A.C.
VOLTAGE OF YOUR LOCATION.
THE POWER SUPPLY IS NOT VOLTAGE ADJUSTABLE.
TO OPERATE THE GAME AT VOLTAGES OTHER THAN
THOSE IT WAS DESIGNED FOR, PLEASE CONTACT
OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR VOLTAGE
CONVERSION INFORMATION.
Plug the game into the A.C. outlet and turn on power to
the game. The switch for the game is located on a power
module on the outside rear of the game.
It is now time to program your game&&..

							MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
This game has been designed to be as trouble and
maintenance free as possible.
With this in mind the only basics are to keep the game
clean. Below are the main areas to take care of with
specific directions.
MARQUEE
The MARQUEE should be cleaned with a soapy water
solution if covered with water–based dirt such as food
products. After cleaning with soapy water, polish with a
commercial plastic polish or a spray furniture polish.
These have lubricating oils that condition the plastic and
keep it shiny and clear looking. Never use regular glass
cleaners as the ammonia in them actually damages the
plastic and dulls it.
Any deep scratches can be reduced or eliminated with a
scratch removing polish and buffing wheel.
CABINET
The cabinet plastic and decals can be cleaned with soapy
water or spray furniture polish. DO NOT use any alcohol or
petroleum based cleaners as they could damage the
plastic or printed parts.
COIN MECHANISMS
The coin mechanisms should be cleaned periodically, as
they will accumulate dirt, which will cause the coins to
stick.
Remove the coin mech and clean them in a dish detergent
solution and a stiff brush. Dry thoroughly and re–install.
TICKET DISPENSERS
The biggest problem ticket dispensers have is ticket dust
blocking the optical detectors. It is a good idea to
occasionally use compressed air to remove the dust from
the dispensers.
SHARK HEAD
The sharks should be cleaned with a soapy water solution.
Be sure to wring the sponge out before cleaning. Excess
water may drip onto coil bed assembly and cause
permanent damage.
LUBRICATION
We do not recommend the use of any lubrication
anywhere on the game.
The only moving parts on the game are the sharks. If you
notice any sticking or binding of the sharks check the
following.
– Dirt on the solenoid shafts - Remove the solenoid
shafts, clean with isopropyl alcohol. Finish wiping
clean with a good grade of spray polish only.
 – Wear - If excessive solenoid body wear is noted,
replace the solenoid coil.

							GAME REPAIR
WARNING: ALWAYS REMOVE POWER TO
THE GAME BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
SERVICE, UNLESS NEEDED FOR SPECIFIC
TESTING.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO
YOURSELF OR OTHERS.
OPERATIONAL
BACKGROUND
The HAMMERHEAD game has been manufactured
with modular design in mind. Almost everything in the
game can be EASILY removed for servicing. This
makes it much easier for the repairman as he / she
can work in a quieter less distracting environment
away from the Game Room floor. The game relies on
1 coil bed assembly which can be remove from the
game very easily.
Coin and low ticket sensing are done with
conventional micro switches. In all areas of critical
importance, optical sensors were developed
specifically, and optimized for their particular
application.
All P.C. Boards are made of premium quality board
material and use time proven components to assure
you of the most reliable designs possible.
We have put forth our best efforts and tested this
game extensively to assure the best possible
performance under the widest variety of operating
conditions. We are ALWAYS however interested in our
customers input for product improvement. If you have
any questions or comments please feel free to
contact our service department.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PHILOSOPHY
To find problems with the game, always first check
what should be obvious. See that the game is
plugged in, and that all of the fuses on the game are
good. This includes the fuse that is located INSIDE
the power module.
Next, check to see that all of the connectors are firmly
seated and that none of the wires have been pulled
out of them.
When trying to find out if specific components are bad
or not. This will help you to know if you have a
problem with a specific component, or maybe a
problem with either the wiring or the Main P.C. Board.
Use extreme caution when using probes or voltmeters
if the game is powered up. If doing continuity checks,
it is important to disconnect the harnessing at both
ends, as attached they may yield erroneous results.
If a P.C. Board is suspected as the cause of a
problem, check to see that all of the components on
the board are firmly attached. Pay special attention to
any socketed devices.
If light bulbs are suspected, swap them with a bulb
that is known to work to narrow the problem down to
either a bulb or P.C. Board.
