2. PRECAUTIONS Be sure to read this section carefully. 2-1 Notes on Operation ( NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: Requirements) Only operate this machine after checking that it has been installed correctly and in accordance with the Installation and Commisioning Manual. Parts of this machine move during game play, so there are places where the distance between the stationary section and moveable section changes.
2-3 Cautions When Transporting. a. Do not subject the game to physical shock when transporting or moving it. b. Always return the levellers to the UP position before moving the machine, even for short distances. c. The monitor cabinet, ski assy and header assy must be separated before shipping. d. Take care not to rope any moulded (plastic) parts when transporting. e. Always ship the monitor section upright. THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE MOVED BY FORK LIFT.
2-4 Cautions When Installing. 1. This machine is designed for indoor use only. Do Not install the machine in the following places 2. If this machine is installed next to walls or other machines, ensure that there is plenty of space between them.
NOTE: So that customers are not injured by the movement of the Ski Tray, ensure that there is at least 300mm separation between other machines or walls. If two Alpine Racer machines are next to each other the space between them must be at least 600mm. NOTE: In order to gain access to the Power Supply and CPU assemblies, make sure that the rear of the machine is separated from a wall or other machine by at least 500mm.
3. HOW TO PLAY This game is based on Alpine ski racing. The player stands on the steps and moves them left or right to control the skier. By using the inner edge when moving the steps, the skier slows down and turns quickly. • Race Mode The player races the computer skiers and the object is to cross the goal line first. The game is over when the player crosses the finish line within the given time period, or the time period reaches zero. The time period is increased each time a player passes a check point.

Select "STEP ADJUST" and press the decision button. The controls are now initialized. 5. After initialization is completed, turn the test switch OFF. The motor check begins. If the motor still does not operate correctly, there is a problem with the motor or switches, and an error will be displayed on the screen.
d. e. If the first lock is completed within fifteen seconds, but the steps cannot be released, Motor Error 2 screen is displayed until the fault is rectified. If after the steps have been freed, they do not re-lock, as an emergency measure, Motor Error 3 screen is displayed. This allows the step-lock mechanism to be overridden and the game to be operated with the steps permanently in the free position.
