							SUPER CHEXX GAME PLAY
The SUPER CHEXX Hockey game has been designed to resemble “real” hockey action.  The object
of the game is to out–score your opponent before time runs out.  Goals can be scored, with the game
continuing, until the “last puck in play” mode begins.  When the last puck in play is scored, the game
ends.*
Example: If a score is 5–3, the last puck would result in a final score of 5–4 or 6–3.
*The exception to this rule occurs when a final puck would create a tie score.
Example: If the score is 2–1, the last puck might make the score 2–2.  The game then automatically
goes into a “Sudden Death Overtime” mode and a final tie–breaking puck is ejected.  The game will
end when the tie–breaking goal is scored.
The National Anthem, as well as the “Boo” sound and the “Ooh’s” and “Aah’s” add to the excitement of
playing SUPER CHEXX.  The “Boo” button can be used to eliminate the National Anthem or to “Boo”
your opponent. 
						

							FEATURES
SUPER CHEXX is a unique kinetic action hockey game,
using state–of–the–art components, electronics, and
advanced sound effects designed to closely resemble the
action, play, and feel of a real ice hockey game.
BREAK RESISTANT POLYCARBONATE DOME
The cover of this game is made of Lexan and will resist
breaking or cracking.
OVERHEAD SCOREBOARD
Scores and shots on goal are automatically tabulated by the
main processor unit and displayed here.  Other features
include a running time clock, digital period display, and a
fluorescent light that produces minimal heat eliminating the
need for a fan.
UNIQUE SOUND EFFECTS
The sound effects in this game use state–of–the–art
components.  Along with synthesized organ chants, this
game utilizes natural sounds actually recorded at a real
hockey game.  Cheers can be noted when a goal is scored.
“Oh” sounds are produced when a puck enters the goalie’s
crease.  Organ chants indicate period changes, last puck in
play mode, and sudden death overtime.  A player can
actually “Boo” his opponent by pressing the “Boo” button
located at each end of the cabinet.  Added to all these
sounds are a full–time background noise and a National
Anthem at the beginning of each game.  A player can even
bypass the anthem if desired by pressing the “Boo” button.
GEAR / CLUTCH DESIGN
Each player on the game rotates on a 2.4:1 gear
mechanism, which utilizes a built–in clutch to allow opposing
players to strike or check one another without causing
damage to components.  This feature also eliminates
intentional abuse.  The gearing mechanism has been
designed to allow a player to rotate at maximum speed with
a minimum of effort.CENTER ICE FACE OFF
This hockey game has a center ice face–off feature to add
to the realism of play.  The puck is automatically ejected
once at the beginning of the game and once after each
goal.  The puck may be ejected manually by pressing the
Boo/Eject buttons.
NEW ROD MATERIAL
Unlike previous games using rods that bend or break
easily, SUPER CHEXX uses rods with a specially
developed fiberglass composite and exterior coating to
eliminate previous problems.  These rods are immune to
even torturous abuse.  They can bend almost 90 degrees
and still return straight time after time.
PLAYERS
SUPER CHEXX has realistic three–dimensional decorated
players to even further enhance realism and enjoyment of
the game.
LONG STICK PLAYER – 1 PER TEAM
SHORT STICK PLAYER – 4 PER TEAM
GOALIE – 1 PER TEAM 
						

							FEATURES
GAME CABINET
The cabinet is of unitized construction using high quality
aluminum for strength, durability, and reliability.  Threaded
inserts are used throughout the cabinet to make removal
and installation of parts in the cabinet fast and easy.
GAME BASE
The base design is a first in the game industry, using a
one–piece high impact plastic material versus conventional
wood or particleboard cabinetry.  It is impervious to liquid
spills as well as many other typical abuses to which games
are subjected.  The coloring has been molded into and
throughout the base, eliminating the effect of scratches
that harm the appearance and beauty of the game.
ADJUSTABLE TIME AND VEND PRICE
The time and vend price of the game can be adjusted
individually by switches on the main PC board.  Time can
be set for two, three, four, or five minutes.  The vend price
can be adjusted for $.25, $.50, $.75 or Free Play.  Any
combination of time and price can be used.
ELECTRONICS ACCESS
  All of the SUPER CHEXX electronics are located on a
single PC board just inside the coin door.  All IC’s are
readily accessible and mounted in high quality sockets
simplifying repairs.
SCOREBOARD ELECTRONICS
The scoreboard electronics, designed with state–of–the–
art circuitry, are very reliable.  If any repair should be
necessary, the scoreboard can be replaced in less than (5)
minutes, eliminating costly down time.
SPEED OF PLAY
The play of the game is extremely fast.  A unique ramp
construction eliminates dead spots and a special finish on
the highly polished playfield enhances the puck action.
The gearing ratio (described earlier), used for fast and
effortless play and rotation, provides for greater speed and
accuracy when shooting the puck.
QUICK ASSEMBLY
The game, designed in two pieces with an upper and a
lower half, can be assembled and connected in less than
(5)) minutes.OVER / UNDER COIN DOOR
An industry standard over / under coin door is used in the

							GAME ASSEMBLY
These steps should be followed for initial installation as well
as any time the game is dismantled and moved to a new location.
NSPECT INSIDE OF BASE
Check for loose parts or foreign material in bottom.
Inspect harnessing to speakers, coin door and coin
meter.
Inspect main PC Board for damage and familiarize
yourself with the 15–pin cabinet harness connector
and the 8–pin header for the scoreboard ribbon cable.
Place cabinet on Base oriented with hinge side of cabinet
opposite the coin door side of the Base.
Align the two so that the threaded cabinet mounting
inserts are visible through the access holes and the
mounting holes in the Base.
Install 4 Allen Head mounting bolts with fender
washers and tighten with provided T–handle wrench.Connect 15–Pin Connector and Ribbon Cable connector to
main PC Board. The locking edge of the ribbon
cable connector should face the rear of the base.
Do not force or connect backwards or damage will
occur.
Plug game into 110 (optional 220) volt GROUNDED AC
outlet and turn on PC Board mounted power switch.
Warning:  Failure to use a 3–prong grounded outlet
will void your warranty and may cause
harm to the game, yourself, and others.
Coin–up game and check for proper operation.
Finally, make sure your game is clean.  A clean game
looks good, gets more play, and makes more money
than a dirty game.
GAME OPERATION – TEST
IMPORTANT: IF THE GAME FAILS TO PERFORM THE
FOLLOWING TESTS AS DESCRIBED, REFER TO THE
TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION.
Before starting a game, check to see that all players
rotate smoothly and that all rods move in and out
freely.
NOTE: THE GEAR BOXES REQUIRE 10 – 20
GAMES TO FULLY BREAK IN.  SLIGHT
RESISTANCE WHEN ROTATING THE
PLAYERS ON A NEW GAME IS NORMAL.
Insert the proper number of coins to start game.  The
National Anthem will begin and upon completion,
the puck will eject from the ejector chute.  Shoot
the puck in each net several times to ensure
proper operation of the ejector.
Each time the puck enters the net; the score indicators
on both sides of the scoreboard should indicate
the goal scored.  Continue scoring until the game
ends, checking the score indicators for proper
operation.  Check to see that the score indicators
on both sides of the scoreboard are working
correctly.Restart the game.  Press the Boo/Eject button to
ensure the National Anthem is bypassed.  The
puck should eject.
After the puck ejects, press the Boo/Eject buttons on
both ends of the game to ensure the “Boo” sound
is heard and eject Solenoid is activated.
Run the puck through each goal crease.  The “Oh”
sound should be heard as the puck passes
through the crease.  Note that a shot on a goal
has been registered. 
						

							MAINTENANCE
All parts in the SUPER CHEXX Hockey Game have been
manufactured to the highest standards possible.  The
following maintenance should be performed as
recommended to assure optimal performance and
longevity of the game.
WARNING: THIS GAME DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY
LUBRICATION.  USE OF ANY OILS OR GREASE MAY
VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Most mechanical maintenance jobs, when required, will
necessitate removal of the dome and / or ice surface.  In
all cases, when the ice surface must be removed, follow
the ice surface removal procedure as given.
PUCK
Inspect the puck for large gashes, which may impede a
smooth rolling action down the puck ramps.  Replace if
necessary.
PUCK RAMPS
Periodically check the puck ramps for dirt accumulation
and / or other objects or materials that may cause the puck
action to slow down.  To clean the ramps, remove the
goalies.  Slide all players to center ice (this saves time, as
all the players and ice surface do not have to be removed).
Bend up the ice on either end and remove the nets.  Clean
out the tracks and reassemble.
SCOREBOARD LIGHTS
Replacement is advised when necessary.  Remove the
four screws on the light diffuser and pull out the bulb.
Insert the new bulb and reassemble.
NOTE: TIE WRAPS HAVE BEEN USED TO SECURE
THE FLOURESCENT LIGHT AGAINST SHIPPING
DAMAGE AND ABUSE ON LOCATION.  IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT THESE BE REPLACED AFTER
A NEW LIGHT IS INSTALLED.COIN MECHANISMS
Mechanisms should be cleaned and adjusted when
necessary.  Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on
adjustment and maintenance.
PLAYER WASHERS
These washers, located over each gearbox, serve to keep
the players shafts in place in their gearboxes.
Extreme care should be exercised when pulling out or
pushing in players because a washer that falls into a track
can be bothersome to remove.  To help eliminate this
problem, push all the rods all the way in, and pull the
player straight out.  When pushing a player back in, be
sure the gearbox is lined up with the shafts.  If not, slowly
rotate the rod while pushing down on the player.
NOTE: WASHERS SHOULD BE REPLACED WHEN
WORN TO THE POINT THAT THEY CAN NO LONGER
HOLD THE PLAYERS IN.  AFTER PLAYERS ARE
INSERTED, PULL UP GENTLY TO TEST THE
STRENGTH OF THE WASHERS.
SOUND EFFECTS
Periodically test the sound effects, sensors, and the “Boo”
button to ensure the proper functions.  Test for National
Anthem bypass.
