RING RIDERS is a motorbike competition, placed in a Theme Park, where up to four
players race head to head against the clock. The race challenges the player’s ability to
control the bike under many different and changing conditions. The score is obtained by
getting through rings that appear along the course, though the acrobatics achieved and the
finish position are important too.
The player can enjoy a very realistic driving experience thanks to a 2DOF motion system
and interactive handlebar.

3.1 GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
•Before operating the machine, check that it has been installed correctly and in
accordance with this Manual.
•As some parts of the machine move during game play, there are places where the
distance between the stationary section and the mobile section changes. Despite the
measures implemented to avoid accidents, if the operator feels that a person is in any
danger, he should warn that person or stop the machine immediately by using the
Emergency Stop button.
•The warning notices (stickers) must be kept in such condition that customers can read
them easily.
•Installation, service or routine maintenance should be carried out by qualified
personnel.
•Before connecting the machine to the mains supply, verify that it is set for the correct
voltage and that the proper fuses are already installed.
•When replacing fuses, use spare fuses of the same type and rating than the originals.
The use of other material can cause serious damages on the electronic circuits or even
a fire hazard. Check the Parts List to know the exact specifications.
•The machine includes areas of high voltage. Care must be taken at all times to avoid
electrical shock whenever inspecting or adjusting the equipment, particularly around
the monitor.
•To ensure safe operation, the machine must be grounded with a plug securely
connected to Earth.
•Do not turn ON the power switch until the machine has been installed on its dedicated
place.

precautions should be taken against spilling liquids of any kind whatsoever over the
machine
•In a place exposed to vibration. The machine must be installed on a level surface with
levellers properly adjusted.
•In locations near ventilating holes. Doing so could cause internal temperature to rise
excessively, resulting in equipment failure.
•Near hazardous substances
