PINBALL GAME ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued)
7.
Adjust the leg levellers for proper playfield level (side-to-side)
and
playfield pitch angle (incli ne) of
approximately 6 degrees. (Again, it is recommended that these measurements be made ON the
playfield, not the cabinet nor the playfield cover glass.) Tighten the nut on each leg leveller shaft
to maintain this setting, as shown in Figure 3.

Playfield pitch angle adjustments can affect the operation of the plumb bob tilt, inside
the cabinet.
The plumb bob weight is among the parts in the cash box; the operator
should install the weight and adjust this tilt mechanism for proper operation, after
completion of the desired playfield pitch angle setting.
8.
Move the game into the desired location; recheck the level and pitch angle of the playfield.
9. Verify that the
required number
of balls are installed in the game.
(TAXI:
2 balls.)
10. Clean and re-install the playfield cover glass. Prepare the game for player operation.
GAME OPERATION
( WARNiNG)
After assembly and installation at its site location, this game must be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet to prevent shock hazard, and to assure proper game operation.
DO NOT
use a 'cheater' plug to defeat the ground pin on the line cord. DO NOT cut off the ground pin.
POWERING UP. With the coin door closed, plug the game in, and switch it ON, using the On-Off
switch. In normal operation, the player 1 score display initially shows 00. Then, the game goes into
the Attract Mode (playfield and backbox lamps flashing, sounds being heard, etc., if the operator does
not change the Factory Setting).
Open the coin door and press the AUTO-UP/MANUAL-DOWN switch to MANUAL-DOWN.
Press the
ADVANCE button to begin the game test routine. Return to AUTO-UP and perform the entire test to
verify that the game is operating satisfactorily.
NOTE
The SYSTEM
11B
game program
has a great capability to aid the operator and service personnel: At
game Turn-On (and also at the beginning of the Test/Diagnostic Procedures), the player score
displays now signal with a message,
"Press ADVANCE for Report", that the game program has
detected a possible problem with the game. Usually, this report indicates that at least one switch
has NOT been actuated during ball play for 90 balls (~ 30 games).
However, the game program
compensates the game play requirements affected by each disabled switch to allow 'nearly normal'
play. This helps keep TAXI earning good profits!
