    CHAPTER 1 OPERATION
    SET-UP
    1. Remove all items from the shipping containers and set them aside. Remove all packing material.
    Inspect the exterior of the main cabinet, control cabinet and the seat pedestal for any damage.
    2. Remove keys from controller assembly. Unlock and open the rear door, and the coin and cash boxes.
    Electrical cords, mechanical components, and assorted spare parts are packed inside the cash box.
    Casters and leg levelers for main cabinet, control cabinet, and pedestal are packed inside of a box with
    the seat pedestal
    3. Install one nut onto each leg leveler. Tilt main cabinet as needed to locate threaded holes in the under-
    side of cabinet. Install a leveler and nut into each hole. Do not tighten nuts at this time. Repeat these
    steps for the center control cabinet and seat pedestal as well. 
    4. Install provided swivel casters. Install six (6) swiveling casters on the center control cabinet and seat
    pedestal as shown in the illustration below. 
    5. Install provided locking casters. Install two (2) locking casters on seat pedestal as shown in the illustra-
    tion below.
    6. The main cabinet is mounted on casters. Roll the cabinet to its intended location, maintaining clear-
    ance between the cabinet and walls, drapes, other games or obstructions. Roll the control cabinet near
    the main cabinet, leaving enough space to attach wiring harness. Mate each cable from the control
    cabinet to main cabinet. Press firmly, but do not force, the keyed connectors until the contacts properly
    seat. Slide the control cabinet toward main cabinet between the mounting brackets, guiding the har-
    ness and cables into main cabinet.

    CHAPTER 1 OPERATION
    7. Lower and adjust each leg leveler on the control cabinet until it is stable and level. Adjust the levelers
    until the bottoms of both pieces are flush and parallel with each other. Inspect for binding or pinched
    wires. Align bracket holes with mounting holes in base of control cabinet. Insert and firmly tighten fas-
    teners to attach the two pieces together as a single unit.
    8. Locate the pedestal assembly mounting rails and rubber bumper spacers, which are shipped along
    with hardware, inside a cash box.
    9. Install rubber bumpers. Rubber bumpers are used to maintain a 3/16” space between the pedestal and
    cabinet assembly, and are essential in absorbing vibration. Insert one bumper using a twisting motion
    into each of the pre-drilled holes located along the bottom edge of control cabinet assembly.
    10. Install pedestal mounting rails. Orient the mounting rail so that the pre-attached rubber bumpers face
    outward, then insert rail. Fasten rail in place with the hardware provided. If necessary, refer to illustra-
    tion for proper placement.
    MOUNTING BRACKET LOCATION
    11. Roll the pedestal section near the cabinet, align the opening in the pedestal with the ends of the rails.
    Slide the pedestal forward onto extended mounting rails leaving enough space to attach the wiring har-
    ness. Mate each cable connector and press firmly to seat the contacts. 
    Ensure no wires are pinched during pedestal attachment. Attach pedestal assembly using 1/4-20 
    tamper resistant screws and large flat washers provided. A T27 wrench is included to tighten these 
    screws firmly. 
    12. Lower and adjust each leg leveler until the pedestal section is stable and level. Adjust the levelers until
    the bottoms of all pieces are flush and parallel with each other. Inspect for binding or pinched wires.
    Insert and firmly tighten the remaining fasteners to attach the two pieces together as a single unit.

    13. An extra padlock may be installed to secure the rear door. Locate hasp. Remove the two lock bracket
    nuts from inside the cabinet, above the rear door opening. Slide the hasp bracket onto the bolts so that
    it protrudes from the hole in back of the cabinet, then reinstall nuts.
    14. Modify the lock plate at the top of the rear door. Remove the bolts and nuts from the lock plate, then
    rotate the plate so that the slot will be above the door. Reinstall the bolts and nuts and tighten firmly.
    15. Reinstall the rear door onto the cabinet and close it. Lock the rear door and remove the key. If
    required, install the extra padlock through the hasp at this time. Install the screws at the top and sides
    of the rear door and tighten snugly. Leave the remaining doors open at this time.

    wipe the player controls. 
    Do not apply the cleaner directly on the controls!
    Cabinet and Seat
    Use plastic-safe, non-abrasive cleaners to avoid damage. Apply cleaner to a clean cloth or sponge and 
    wipe the seat or cabinet.
     
    Do not apply cleaner directly on artwork or cabinet!
    GAME FEATURES
    Arctic Thunder™ ships configured for one-player game play. Up to four cabinets may be linked to promote
    player competition.   
    Arctic Thunder™, the action packed snowmobile tour for the new millennium, is a polar fantasy that trans-
    ports adventurous trekkers across continents in search of unimaginable and ultra-realistic thrills and chills.
    From the snowy plateaus of the Himalayas and the Swiss Alps to snowscapes in Europe and the Ameri-
    cas, players can assume the role of Ponzo, the resident polar primate, or of Willie Qiunn a hip and cool
    Rastafari, but to name a few. Slaloming through fluffy white powder on the back of a snowmobile, players
    and their opponents vie for power-ups while launching shiver-worthy snowballs and frosty power attacks. 
    STARTING UP
    Each time power is switched on or restored to the game machine, the system enters Start-up Tests.    The
    software revision level is shown at the top of the screen. A testing message will appear for approximate 60
    seconds.
    The system enters Attract Mode once it passes all power-up tests. The Attract Mode screen will cycle end-
    lessly and display a variety of scenes and sounds from a typical race on any given track. The system does
    not exit Attract Mode until the desired amount of coins or tokens is inserted and game play commences.
