Chapter 1 – Safety and Warnings

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.

INSTALLATION
The game comes ready to play with just a few simple things to keep in mind.
1. 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.
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.
2. Make sure the game is level after installation. It is necessary to make sure the game is level
for safety concerns.
3. Place the game into its final location and use the adjusting feet to level the game.
4. 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.

WARNING
DO NOT remove any of the components on the main board (e.g. compact flash and
eproms) while the game is powered on. This may cause permanent damage to the
parts and the main board. Removing any main board component part while powered on
will void the warranty.
NOTE: THIS GAME IS INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.
ON THE BACK PANEL OF THE GAME: WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD - DO NOT
OPEN. REFER SERVICING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Chapter 2 – Game Setup and Features
Player Controls
Start/Fish Button

The Start/Fish button is used to start a game once the proper number of credits has been inserted.
Once a game has been started, the Start/Fish button is used to drop the hook in order to catch fish.
There are two Start/Fish buttons, one for the left player and one for the right player.

Playing The Game
The objective of the game is to catch as many fish as possible within the game time in order to
accumulate points and tickets. Fish come out on 4 different levels with the highest points being
awarded for the fish on the bottom level.
There are other bonus items such as: treasure chest – awards jackpot amount, blow fish – multiplies
fish amounts X 2 for the remainder of the game, and time bonus – awards more time. In addition,
there are junk items (tire, boot, license plate and can) that award no points.

Initial Game Setup
The game is setup at the factory with the recommended factory settings. The following outlines the
important adjustments an operator may adjust during initial game setup. For more detailed
instructions on setting these adjustments, see Chapter 3.

Chapter 4 – Troubleshooting
CAUTION
This game uses complex electronic components that are very sensitive to static electricity. Observe
precautions below before handling these electronics. Failure to do so may void the warranty and
damage electronic assemblies.
ƒ

Before servicing electronics, turn off AC power to the game. Wait for capacitors to discharge.

ƒ

DO NOT remove any of the components on the main board (e.g. compact flash and eproms)
while the game is powered on. This may cause permanent damage to the parts and the main
board.

ƒ

Before touching or handling electronic assemblies, discharge static electricity on your body.
To discharge this static, begin by connecting the line cord to a grounded outlet. Don’t turn on
the game. Next, touch the safety ground stud of the power supply chassis.

ƒ

Store electronic assemblies in an anti-static area. Use anti-static bags to store or transport
the game circuit boards.

ƒ

Don’t remove or connect electronic assemblies when cabinet power is on. Otherwise, you’ll
damage electronic assemblies and void the game’s warranty.

ƒ

After you complete maintenance or service, replace ground wires, shields, safety covers and
install and tighten ground and mounting screw.

ƒ

Video game monitors generate and store potentially high voltages. Avoid touching any part of
the monitor until power has been off for some time. A picture tube can maintain a hazardous
charge for up to several days. Only qualified technicians should service monitors.

JAMMA PCB edge connector. DO NOT remove or install JAMMA connector when power is
turned on. Doing so will damage the CPU assembly and void the warranty.
Verify that the DC power supply voltages at the game CPU assembly are set as follows. The
following voltages should be set when the game CPU assembly is connected and the game is
powered on.
+5V:
+4.9V - +5.1V /// +12V: +11.5V - +12.5V //// -5V:-4.75V - -5.25V
