Note: Specifications may change without prior notice.
Modification and/or alteration of the FINAL LAP

game with kits or parts not supplied by NAMCO may
void the warranty.
2. PRECAUTIONS
2-l Caution when installing
This game is designed for indoor use only. The game must not be installed out-
doors or under the following conditions:
a.
In areas directly exposed to sunlight, high humidity, direct water contact, dust,
high heat or extreme cold.
b.
In locations that would present an obstacle in case of emergency, i.e. near fne
equipment or emergency exits.
c.
On an unstable surface or subject to floor or other vibration.
1
2-2 Caution when handling
a.
Power must always be turned off before replacing any parts or connecting/
disconnecting the connectors.
b.
Do not subject game to physical shock when transporting or moving it.
c. The power supply range is between 1
lo-120V
AC.
d.
The cabinet must be grounded with a securely connected ground plug.
e.
Care must be taken at all times to avoid electrical shock whenever inspecting or
adjusting the game.
f.
When unplugging the game from an electrical outlet, grasp the plug, not the
cord.
g.
DO NOT attempt to repair the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) on site. It contains
sensitive chips that could easily be damaged by even the small internal voltage
of a multi-meter. Always return the PCB to your distributor for any repairs.
3. INSPECTION
The FINAL LAP 3 Game carton should be carefully inspected upon receipt to insure
that the game is complete and was delivered in good condition.
Inspect the game cabinet by doing the following:
1.
Examine the cabinet exterior for dents, chips, or broken parts.
2.
Unlock and open the rear service door, the front coin door, and the front dash panel
(unbolt 3 bolts) that swings forward and down.
Inspect the interior of the cabinet as follows:
a.
Verify that all plug-in connectors (on the cabinet harnesses) are fiiy plugged
in. The connectors next to the PCB metal enclosure are for the car-color
selection. Any or none of the three connectors can be plugged into the harness
connector. (For more information, Ref. 4-5, Choosing the Car-Color).
DO NOT force connectors together. The connectors are keyed so they fit only
in the proper orientation. A reversed edge connector can damage a PCB and
will void your warranty.
b.
Inspect the power cord to insure that there are no cuts or dents in the insulation.
c. Inspect the power supply connectors.
d.
Inspect other major sub-assemblies, such as the video display monitors,
PCBs,
and speakers. Make sure that they are mounted securely and that all ground
wires are fiiy connected.

4. INSTALLATION
&l
Installing Game Cabinet
a.
Each Cabinet has two casters (one on each rear comer) and a Moving Assist
Handle located on the upper portion of the cabinet back to allow for easy
roll-
in and positioning of the game.
b.
Tilt and roll the cabinet near to its intended operating position, and lower the
four (4) leg levelers, one on each comer of the cabinet, until the game rests
firmly on the floor.
c.
Note that the cabinet design provides for front servicing through the “swing-
down” Control Panel illustrated below. This provides front access to the
Monitor Adjustment Board, the game PCB, and the Steering and Shift
Assemblies. This eliminates the need for the technician to move the game
away from the wall to service these components.
d.
Remove the three (3) security bolts on the top edge of the Control Panel, and
carefully (its heavy) swing it down on its hinge to open.

4-2 Preparing the game for operation
If installing a single player FINAL LAP 3 unit, check the following:
a.
Be sure all power is disconnected before making any adjustments.
b. Remove the monitor AC power cord, and plug it into the power supply.
C
.
Note the position of the Link PCB Switch located in the recessed metal box
opposite the power supply on the lower back panel of each Monitor Cabinet.
d.
Each FINAL LAP 3 is shipped with the connector switch set for a single
cabinet operation, and should have the slide switch set in the “OUT” position.
Check to make sure it is set to “OUT” (see below).

ONE CABINET
4-3 Connecting two (2) or more FINAL LAP 3s
Up to eight (8) FINAL LAP 3s can be interconnected (linked) to allow up to eight
(8) players to participate in the same race. When linking two or more games, the
following conditions must be met:
a.
Each FINAL LAP 3 game should be connected to a separate power outlet.
b.
Game difficulty and lap settings must be the same on all monitors in the
linked group. (Ref. 5-3-(2))
c.
All connecting slide switches should be set to the “IN” setting.
d.
Install the link cables between the FINAL LAP 3s by connecting an “OUT”
from one Monitor Cabinet to an “IN” of another game per the following
diagrams. Be sure to seat each plug solidly in its jack.
e.
Perform the self-test by turning the power on to each game. Make sure that
the connections are properly made between games. (Ref. 5-3-1, Self-Test)

(CAUTION)
*
Make the Link Cable as short as possible to insure best signal transmission.
*
Link Cables transmit electronic data between games and are subject to elec-
tronic interference.
*
Install the Link Cable as far from other room cables as possible.

4-4 Power On/Off Switch location
The power supply is located inside the back of the cabinet and accessed through
the Rear Service Door.
The on/off switch is accessed through an opening on the lower right rear side (as
you face the game) of the cabinet.

45 Choosing the car color
Each player can select from one of four car colors. This is done by plugging in
different connectors (included with the game) into the car-color connector located
on the cabinet wall by the PCB enclosures, and accessed through the Front
Control Panel
The game, as shipped, has one connector plugged into the car-color harness and
the other two connectors attached to it.
The following are the car colors and their connectors:
l Light blue car. Plug in the connector with wires at all 4 pins.
l Blue and white car. Plug in the connector with wires at pins 2 and 4.
l Yellow car. Use NO connector.
l Red car. Plug in the connector with wires at pins 1 and 3.
