The provided document is an owner's and service manual for the "SUPER CHEXX Home Edition" game, manufactured by Innovative Concepts in Entertainment Inc. (ICE). This manual outlines the assembly, setup, and maintenance procedures for the game, along with its warranty policy.
Function Description:
The SUPER CHEXX Home Edition is a tabletop hockey game designed for entertainment. It features a playfield with player figures, a dome cover, and a base that houses the electronic components, speakers, and controls. The game allows users to control the players to score goals, mimicking the experience of an arcade-style air hockey or foosball game, but with a hockey theme. The "Boo/Eject Start" button suggests functionalities related to game initiation and potentially special in-game actions or player ejection mechanisms, common in arcade games to add excitement. The presence of a volume control indicates adjustable audio output, enhancing the user experience. The game's design, with a hinged base, allows for easier transport and passage through narrower door openings, making it suitable for home use where space and accessibility might be a concern.

- Adjustable Volume: A dedicated volume control knob allows users to adjust the game's audio output to their preference, making it suitable for various home environments.
- Game Start Functionality: The "Boo/Eject Start" button serves as the primary control for initiating a game, offering a straightforward user interface.
- Portability/Accessibility: The hinged base design is a significant usage feature, allowing the game to be split and unfolded. This makes it easier to move the game through standard doorways or into smaller spaces, addressing a common challenge with larger game tables in a home setting. The manual explicitly states that the game can be assembled in the reverse order of disassembly, simplifying the process of moving and re-setting up the game.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning Recommendations: The manual specifies cleaning instructions to ensure the longevity of the game:
- Base: Recommended to use "Simple Green" cleaner.
- Dome: Ammonia-based cleaners should not be used on the dome, implying a specific material that could be damaged by such chemicals. This is a crucial maintenance detail to prevent damage to the transparent cover.
- Disassembly for Service/Transport: The manual provides detailed steps for splitting the base, which is essential for maintenance, repair, or moving the game:
- Disconnect Volume Control: The first step in disassembling the base is to disconnect the volume control pot, indicating its modular nature.
- Remove Board Mount: Four wing nuts secure the board mount to the base, allowing for easy removal of the main circuit board assembly.
- Lift Board Assembly: The entire board assembly can be lifted out once the wing nuts are removed, providing access to internal components.
- Lay Board at Bottom: After lifting, the board can be safely laid at the bottom of the base, presumably to facilitate further work or to prepare for splitting the base.
- Disconnect Speaker Wires: Users are instructed to disconnect one side's speaker wires, with a caution to avoid breaking the tabs and to note the wire colors for correct re-connection. This highlights the importance of careful handling of delicate components.
- Remove Metal End Covers: Eight wing nuts per cover secure the two metal end covers, which must be removed to fully access the hinged mechanism of the base.
