REFERENCE: ‘AIRBORNE’ LEFT UP/DOWN RAMP.

DEAR DISTRIBUTOR,

THIS LETTER IS TO INFORM YOU THAT ‘AIRBORNE’, CAPCOM’S SECOND PINBALL, USES ONE OF TWO DIFFERENT LEFT UP/DOWN RAMPS.  EARLY MACHINES HAVE THE PROTOTYPE RAMP AND THE REST HAVE THE PRODUCTION RAMP.  ‘AIRBORNE’ SOFTWARE VERSION V1.2 AND HIGHER MAKES PROVISION FOR USE OF EITHER RAMP THRU ADJUSTMENT B2-04 ‘L. RAMP RELAXES DOWN’.  THIS ADJUSTMENT MUST BE CORRECTLY SET FOR PROPER GAME OPERATION.

CAUTION: IF THE WRONG SETTING IS USED THE RAMP COIL COULD OVERHEAT AND BURN OUT.

¨TO DETERMINE WHICH RAMP YOUR GAME HAS, LOOK AT THE POSITION OF THE RAMP WITH THE GAME POWER OFF.  THE PRODUCTION RAMP (FIGURES 3 AND 4) WILL BE IN THE DOWN POSITION.  THE PROTOTYPE RAMP (FIGURES 1 AND 2)  WILL BE IN THE UP POSITION.

¨ADJUSTMENT B2-04 ‘L. RAMP RELAXES DOWN’ FACTORY DEFAULT IS ‘YES’.  THIS IS THE CORRECT SETTING FOR USE WITH THE PRODUCTION RAMP.

¨IF THE MACHINE HAS THE PROTOTYPE RAMP ADJUSTMENT B2-04 MUST BE CHANGED TO ‘NO’ FOR PROPER OPERATION.

THE TWO RAMPS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

¨THE HAT BRACKET IS DIFFERENT (FIGURES 2 AND 4).

¨DIFFERENT MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY TO ACTUATE THE RAMP (FIGURES 1 AND 3).

¨PREVIOUS SOFTWARE REVISIONS RELIED UPON A PHYSICAL JUMPER (SWITCH 77) TO DETERMINE WHICH RAMP WAS USED.  THIS JUMPER HAS BEEN REMOVED AND SOFTWARE NO LONGER USES THIS SWITCH POSITION.

PROVIDED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE IS A PARTS LIST AND EXPLODED VIEW OF BOTH MECHANICAL ASSEMBLIES (FIGURES 5 AND 6).

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS, OR ANY OTHER ISSUE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT THE FIELD SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

THANK YOU.
