Quick Start Guide

Step 1

Pachinko machines are top-heavy and can tip over easily. You should find some way to support the machine. I use two boards 1"x4"x10" and screw them to the bottom of the machine.

Step 2

Hooking up the lights in not needed for these machines to play. The lights flash when you get a jackpot. You can wire the lights to a 10 volt transformer or a 9 volt battery.

Make sure the Feeder Line Stopper is in the up position. Otherwise balls can't roll down the track and enter the jackpot assembly.
