SETUP / TESTING / MAINTENANCE

MANUAL SETTING
Initial adjustment tips

- It is important to know that a mechanical adjustment is known as a “Macro adjustment” or a large

adjustment, and that a software adjustment is considered a “Micro adjustment” of a fine adjustment.
- NOTE: These adjustments need only be performed when setting up the crane for the first time or when
major changes to plush size and or shape occur. Once a configuration has been determined for your
particular requirements, the same configuration in another CRANE GAME may require only minor
adjustments.
- Pack in the same fashion as usual and stay consistent
- Set option 0 (Game mode) for game type you desire.
- Set option 3 (Game cost) for your particular game.
- For the following tests make sure that option 9 (Auto Strength) is set to 00. Any setting other
than 00 and auto percentaging is enabled and incorrect results may occur.
- Make sure that the claw tips, when closed, are just touching. DO NOT allow them to overlap, for the claw
could mechanically bind causing some down time.
-CHECK IF YOU HAVE THE CORRECT CLAW SHAPE. Set option 8 to 50, 9 to 00, and play the game
approx. 25 times. At this level you should have great difficulty picking up plush.
- If you are able to pick up the plush rather easily, you have the wrong claw shape or size and you
should go to the end of this section and see CLAW SHAPE.
- If you are unable to pick up the plush then set option 8 to 99 and play 25 games. You should now
be able to pick up the plush fairly consistently. If this is true, continue on to the next step. NOTE:
When the game is first packed it is often difficult to pick up plush until an area is cleared to
maneuver in. Take this into account while determining if the claw size or shape is correct.
- Initially set option 8 (Manual strength), based on your size plush, such that the claw is barely able to
hold the plush when closed. If you are unsure, a good starting point for option 8 is 60 for average
size plush and our standard medium claw. NOTE: When in programming mode at option 8 the claw
will begin to open and close at approximately 5 second intervals. The operator can then associate
the claw strength number on the right display with actual “physical” claw strength at the claw.
- Knowing the cost of a game, the average cost of a piece of plush, and the desired pay out %
calculate the proper plush dispensing intervals, for your setup, using the following formula:

1.) 100 *(Game cost) = A (# of dollars received for 100 games)

2.) A *(Desired payout %) = B (# of dollars worth of plush that should be
dispensed in 100 games)
3.) B /(Desired payout %) = C (# of pieces of plush that should be dispensed in 100
games)
4.) 100 C = Proper plush dispensing intervals

SETUP / TESTING / MAINTENANCE

EXAMPLE
Game Cost = $0.50
Avg. cost of 1 plush = $2.00
Desired payout % = 33%

1.) 100* ($0.50) =$50

2.) $50* (.33) =$16.50 worth of plush in 100 games to give a 33% payout
3.) $16.5 / ($2.00) =8.25 pieces of plush per 100 games to give a 33% payout
4.) 100 / (8.25) =12.12 round off to 12

NOTE: This means that approximately every 12th game played 1 piece of plush should be won.
Armed with the information particular to your game (Proper plush dispensing intervals determined above) play
at least 50 games and see if the correct number of plush have been dispensed. (For the example above, in
50 games you should have dispensed approximately 4 pieces of plush (Every 12.12 games.)
NOTE: The more games you play during the “TEST” the more accurate your accounting will be. When 50
games have been played calculate the payout % using the formula below:

1.) (# of plush dispensed) * (Cost of 1 pc. of plush) = Payout %

(# of games played) * (Cost of game)

EXAMPLE
Cost of a game = $0.50
Cost of 1 piece of plush = $2.00
# of plush dispensed = 55
# of games played = 423

(55) * ($2.00) = 52 = 52% payout

(423) * ($0.50)

If the calculated pay out is very high, (your desired pay out + 10% or more), it will be necessary to make a
macro adjustment or move the claw tips apart slightly by loosening the three screws holding the coil slider to
the coil housing and moving the coil slider up slightly. (See Fig. 1) NOTE: MOVING THE COIL SLIDER 1/8TH
OF AN INCH COULD CHANGE YOUR PAY OUT BY AS MUCH AS 60%. BE SURE TO MOVE THE SLIDER IN VERY
SMALL INCREMENTS SO AS NOT TO OVERSHOOT YOUR DESIRED PAYOUT.
If the calculated payout is slightly high, (your desired payout + less than 10% or more), then you can make a
micro adjustment or a software claw strength adjustment at option 8.
Conversely, if the calculated payout is very low or slightly low you will need to make a macro or micro
adjustment accordingly.
Repeat the 50 game test and calculate the payout %. Repeat the mechanical adjustment until you are within
approximately 5-10% of your desired payout. You can now enter the programming mode and adjust option 8
(Mechanical strength) up or down slightly to achieve your desired payout. Your game is now set up according
to your Desired Payout, Game cost, and Plush cost. If, at a later date, you want to change your game cost,
desired payout, plush cost, etc., it is NOT necessary to re-adjust your game manually. Just adjust the value
of the option you wish to change in the PROGRAMMING SECTION. The game will adjust to your new
configuration.
If after using the Initial adjustment tips above, you are still having difficulty in setting up your Crane Game,
please call the I.C.E. service line @ 1-(716)-759-0360.

SETUP / TESTING / MAINTENANCE

AUTO % SETTINGS
Initial adjustment tips
- Before setting up auto percentaging it is highly advisable to set up manual percentaging. This is a
precaution in the unlikely event that the prize sensor fails or error code 10 or 11 is logged. If either one of
these situations occurs the game will AUTOMATICALLY revert to manual percentaging settings, allowing the
game to still function until the error is corrected. If your manual settings are not set up, it may be possible to
dispense too much plush resulting in a loss of revenue for that week, or dispensing to little plush causing your
customers to feel as though they cannot win which will eventually result in a loss of play and revenue.
- It is important to know that a mechanical adjustment is known as a “Macro adjustment” or a large
adjustment, and that a software adjustment is considered a “Micro adjustment” or a fine adjustment.

- NOTE: These adjustments need only be performed when setting up the crane for the first time or when
major changes to plush size and or shape occur. Once a configuration has been determined for your
particular requirements, the same configuration in another CRANE GAME may require only minor
adjustments.
- Pack in the same fashion as usual and stay consistent.
- Set option 0 (Game mode) for game type you desire.
- Set option 3 (Game cost) for your particular game.
- Make sure that the claw tips, when closed, are just touching. DO NOT allow them to overlap, for the claw
could mechanically bind causing some down time.
- CHECK IF YOU HAVE THE CORRECT CLAW SHAPE. Set option 8 to 50, 9 to 00 and play the game
approx. 25 times. At this level you should have great difficulty picking up plush.
- If you are able to pick up the plush rather easy, you have the wrong claw shape or size and you
should go to the end of this section and see CLAW SHAPE.
- If you are unable to pick up the plush then set option 8 to 99 and play 25 games. You should now
be able to pick up the plush fairly consistently. If this is true, continue on to the next step.
NOTE: When the game is first packed it is often difficult to pick up plush until an area is cleared to
maneuver in. Take this into account while determining if the claw size or shape is correct.
- Make sure option 8 (Manual Strength) is set up as detailed above before setting up auto %
- Make sure option 9 (Auto Strength) is set to 60. NOTE: This is a good setting for jumbo mix and a medium
claw. It is advisable to keep the claw strength high enough to slightly move the plush around yet low enough
to prevent a player from easily picking up a prize.
- Set option 16 (Plush Cost) based on the cost of your plush.
- Set option 17 (Desired Payout %) based on your desired payout.
- Knowing the cost of a game, the average cost of a piece of plush and the desired pay out %, calculate the
proper plush dispensing intervals for your setup, using the following formula:

1.) 100 *(Game cost) = A (# of dollars received for 100 games)

2.) A *(Desired payout %) = B (# of dollars worth of plush that should be dispensed in 100 games)
3.) B /(Desired payout %) = C (# of pieces of plush that should be dispensed in 100 games)
4.) 100 C = Proper plush dispensing intervals

CLAW SHAPE
In an attempt to satisfy all variables associated with the proper payout ICE has opted to include directions on
how to reshape your medium claw for a lesser and greater mechanical advantage. Below are two medium
claws shapes which will give very different mechanical advantages and ultimately very different claw
strengths.
- When option 8 is set to 50 and you are still picking up plush, then you will need to reshape
your 3 claws to look more like shape “A”. (SEE FIG. 2) NOTE: Be sure to align holes in the
claw with drawn holes in the template. This will ensure proper shaping of the claw.
- When option 8 is set to 99 and you are unable to pick up consistently then you will need to
reshape your 3 claws to look more like shape “B”. (SEE FIG. 2) NOTE: Be sure to align
holes in the claw with drawn holes in the template. This will ensure proper shaping of the
claw.
These are the two claw shapes that ICE has proven work well, although there are many other shapes that
may work. You will need to remove the claws from the claw mechanism by following the steps.
1. Remove the claw mechanism from the coil housing by loosening the three screws on the coil slider
and removing. Be sure not to loose the small spring around the plunger and the black rynite
washer below the spring. These two parts are critical in the proper operation of the crane
mechanism. (SEE FIG.1)
2. Loosen and remove the 6 small Philips head machine screws and nylock nuts attaching the three
claws to the coil-claw interconnect and coil spider (SEE FIG. 1)
3. Reshape the claws according to the claw shape templates “A” or “B”.
4. Re assemble in reverse order.
Now that you have reshaped your claws for your plush, return to the beginning of Adjustment tips and
proceed through each step.

PROGRAMMING
Mode Explanations
0.GAME TYPE – There are 5 game types:
- 0 Left, Right, Forward, Backward, Nudge – This mode is for a control panel that commonly has a
joystick and allows the player to lower the claw each time the drop button is pressed. This allows the
player to home-in on the prize they are attempting to win. NOTE: The crane will position itself
according to the operator presets, options 14 and 15, at coin up, if option 21 is set to “0” (off). The
crane will position itself according to the operator presets, options 14 and 15, at the end of the game,
if option 21 is set to “1” (on).
- 1 Left, Right, Forward, Backward, Drop - This mode is for a control panel that commonly has a
joystick and the claw drops fully when the button is pressed. NOTE: The crane will position itself
according to the operator presets, options 14 and 15, at coin up, if option 21 is set to “0” (off). The
crane will position itself according to the operator presets, options 14 and 15, at the end of the game,
if option 21 is set to “1” (on).
- 2 Right, Forward, Nudge – This mode is for a control panel that commonly has 3 buttons, one to
move right, one to move forward and one to drop the claw. The player also has the ability to drop the
claw each time the button is pressed. This allows the player to home-in on the prize they are
attempting to win. NOTE: Option 21 is not available with this mode and will remain at “0” (off).
- 3 Right, Forward, Drop – This mode is for a control panel that commonly has 3 buttons, one to move
right, one to move forward and one to drop the claw. The claw drops fully when the button is pressed.
NOTE: Option 21 is not available with this mode and will remain at “0” (off).
- 4 Single Move Drop – This mode is for a control panel with two buttons only, one to move forward
and one to move to the right. At coin up, claw will remain over the prize chute to give the player full
access to the playfield. The player will have a chance to move the crane once forward and once to
the right, after which the claw will automatically drop.
1. GAME MODE – There are two game modes:
- Normal play – This is the standard type of play where a player has inserted enough coins to create
1 credit and then plays the game. Whether the player wins a prize or not, the game is over.
- Play till win – In this mode the player has inserted enough coins to create 1 credit and will be able
to play the game until they win a prize.
2. TIME – This option allows the operator to set the game play length. Options are from 10 seconds to 60
seconds in 5 second intervals.
3. COIN – This option allows the operator to set the number of coins needed to create 1 credit. A setting of
“0” will put the game into free play.
4. BILL – This option allows the operator to set the number of coins each bill is worth. A setting of “0” turns
this option off.
5. COUNTER TYPE – Setting this option to “0” will have the game count credits on the mechanical and
software counters. Setting this option to “1” will have the game count coins.
6. ATTRACT – This option allows the operator to set the number of minutes between attract modes.
Available settings are from 1 minute to 30 minutes in 1 minute intervals.
7. ATTRACT TYPE – This option allows the operator to choose what type of attract mode they want.
- “1” will have an attract mode with movement only.

8. MANUAL STRENGTH – This option allows the operator to set the strength of the claw for manual
percentaging. Available claw strengths are 40-99 with 99 = 100% claw strength. NOTE: When in this
mode the claw will open and close with the strength set in this mode. The operator will be able to feel
each strength setting to determine which best suits their needs. When the correct strength setting is
determined the operator can just move to the next option, and the manual strength option is set.
9. AUTO STRENGTH – This option allows the operator to set the claw strength for the auto percentaging
mode. Available claw strengths are 40-99 with 99 = 100% claw strength. NOTE: When in auto
percentaging mode the claw will, at bottoming, close with 100% strength and will then be backed off to
the number set in this mode. i.e. With this mode set to 75, the claw will at bottoming close with 100%
strength then back off to 75. NOTE: The claw will open and close allowing the operator to feel each
strength setting to determine which best suits their needs. When the correct setting is determined the
operator can just move to the next option, and the auto strength option is set.
10. F/B SPEED – This option allows the operator to adjust the forward / backward speed of the crane. The
available speeds are 10-20 with 10 being slow and 20 being fast.
11. L/R SPEED – This option allows the operator to adjust the left right speed of the wagon. The available
speeds are 10-20 with 10 being slow and 20 being fast.
12. UP SPEED – This option allows the operator to adjust the speed of the crane. The available speeds are
15-20 with 15 being slow and 20 being fast.
13. DOWN SPEED – This option allows the operator to adjust the down speed of the crane. The available
speeds are 15-20 with 15 being slow and 20 being fast.
14. RIGHT TIME – This option allows the operator to adjust the time the right motor drive will stay on, for
centering purposes at game start up. Available settings are 0-40 intervals of ¼ sec. EXAMPLE: If this
option is set at five, then the right drive motor will stay on for (5*¼ sec = 1¼ sec.) 1¼ sec. This option
is used to correctly center the crane at coin up with different coin speeds and crane sizes. The
operator can also use this option along with option 21 to adjust the position of the crane head when
the game is over.
15. FORWARD TIME – This option allows the operator to adjust the time the forward motor drive will stay on,
for centering purposes at game start up. Available settings are 0-40 intervals of ¼ sec. EXAMPLE: If
this option is set at five, then the forward drive motor will stay on for (5*¼ sec = 1¼ sec.) 1¼ sec. This
option is used to correctly center the crane at coin up with different coin speeds and crane sizes. The
operator can also use this option along with option 21 to adjust the position of the crane head when
the game is over.
16. PLUSH COST – The operator will use this option to detail the cost of an average piece of plush used in
their crane, in terms of the lowest denominator coin used to coin up the game. EXAMPLE: If the
average cost of a piece of plush is $1.50 and the lowest denominator coin used to coin up the game is
$0.25 then the number entered for this option will be 6 ($1.50 / $0.25 = 6). The available plush costs
for this option are 1-20.
17. DESIRED PAYOUT – The operator will input the desired payout for the auto percentaging mode. The
available percentages for this option are 20% - 50%.
18. TICKETS TO PLAY – This option is used only if you have a ticket dispenser. In this option the operator
has the ability to set the number of tickets that a player will be awarded just for playing the game. The
available range is 0-99 tickets.
19. TICKETS IF LOSE - – This option is used only if you have a ticket dispenser. In this option the operator
has the ability to set the number of tickets that a player will be awarded when a piece of plush is not
won. The available range is 0-99 tickets.

20. FACTORY DEFAULTS – A setting of “0” for this option will keep the latest operator settings. A setting of
“1” for this option will restore all options to factory defaults.
21. CENTERING – This option allows the operator to position the crane any where on the play field. If option
21 is set to “0” (Off), the crane head will position itself at the beginning of the game according to the
operator pre-sets in options 14 and 15. If option 21 is set to “1” (On), the crane head will position itself
at the end of the game according to the operator pre-sets in options 14 and 15.
22. SNAP – This option allows the operator to turn off and on the snap of the claws at the start of the game.
If option 22 is set to “0” (Off), the claws will not snap together at the start of a game.
If option 22 is set to “1” (On), the claws will snap together at the start of a game.
23. GAMES PER CREDIT – This option determines how many games or turns the player gets per credit.
This option is useful if you have a minimum coin value that is so high you need to give the customer
multiple games to get good value. The range for this option is 1-9. The default value for this option is
“1”.
24. COIN DISCOUNT – This determines the number of consecutive credits (without playing a game) given
before dispensing a free game. For example: If this option was set to “2”, each time 2 coins IN A
ROW were put in, a free game would be given. The range for this option is 0-9. The default value for
this option is “0”.
25. UP/DOWN MOTOR TEST – When the operator moves the joystick left and right the claw will raise and
lower respectively. The display will change from:
0-1 if the up switch is made
0-2 if the down switch is made
0-3 if both switches are made
26. LEFT/RIGHT MOTOR TEST – When the joystick is moved left and right the wagon assembly will move to
the left and right. The right display will change from:
0-1 if the left home switch is made
27. FRONT/BACK MOTOR TEST – When the joystick is moved left and right the wagon assembly will move
forward and backward. The right display will change from:
0-1 if the back home switch is made
Entering the Programming Mode
To enter the programming mode, open the front door and press the button marked PROG, located on the
main board housing inside the front door, and the crane will move to the front center of the game. NOTE:
The game WILL NOT go into the programming mode if the door is “closed”, or the door switch has been
pulled to the outer most position. Once you are in the programming mode move the joystick forward and
backward or use the forward button to move through the modes. To change the value of the mode move the
joystick left and right or use the right button. Once all options have been set, press the drop button and the
game will return to regular game play with the new settings. For a 2 button control panel, press the third
button located inside the front door.
Entering the Accounting Mode
To enter the accounting mode, open the front door and press the button marked ACCOUNT, located on the
main board housing inside the front door. The left displays will flash between “cr” (credits) then the number of
credits 1-9999. If the operator presses the drop button the displays will flash “pl” (plush), then the number of
plush that have passed through the sensor. These numbers can never be reset and WILL NOT match the
numbers on the mechanical counters from the counters. It is advisable that the owner note this difference so
that they will be able to track actual software coins/credits and plush out vs. mechanical counters for
accounting purposes.

Test Mode Explanation
Every time that the game is powered up, or the door is closed, the game will run through a test mode to check
the following items:
-HOME BACK SWITCH -FRONT/BACK MOTOR -PRIZE SENSOR
-HOME LEFT SWITCH -LEFT/RIGHT MOTOR -OUT OF RANGE
-UP SWITCH -CREDIT/COIN DISCONNECT -E² (MEMORY)
-DOWN SWITCH -CLAW CLOSE, CLAW OPEN
If any of the above items are malfunctioning, the game will light the 4 decimal points on the podium displays.
This will alert the operator that there has been a problem. The operator needs only unlock and open the front
door and the error codes will be displayed one at a time on the left display. To move to the next error code
the operator needs to press the drop button. Repairs should be made to those areas in which errors have
been logged. When all codes have been seen and the door is closed the game will reset error codes, run
through a test mode to check for proper operation and, if all is well, game play can start. If the 4 decimals
once again light up, the operator will need to check the error codes again. The play can continue to the best
of the machine’s abilities, with problems, until the errors are corrected. At no time should the game be
inoperable unless a key component is damaged.
Error code 10/11 will alert the operator that the game has paid out 8 too many or 8 too few pieces of plush
than in auto percentaging. If this error is logged the game will automatically revert to MANUAL settings until
one of the following options is changed: (COST OF PLUSH, AUTO % MIN., % PAYOUT, OR GAME COST.)
This is why it is imperative that the manual settings be setup before auto percentaging is used.
NOTE: Changing one of these options will reset error code 10/11 and the game will begin auto percentaging
with the new settings.
NOTE: Some items on the list cannot be detected by the game and require that the operator watches for
these actions to be performed during the start up test mode. (Claw close, Claw open.)

QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING
- NOTE: A self-test will be performed each time the front door is “closed” or the game is powered up.
- NOTE: The game will not count credits or plush-out on either the mechanical or software counters while the
front door is open.
- NOTE: If the Wagon does not move smoothly through a full travel from left to right, check to see that the
wheel spacing is correct. If the spacing is correct then check the 2 cabinet rails for burrs that may
cause the wheels to bind.
- NOTE: If the Crane does not move smoothly through a full travel from front to back, check to see that the
wheel spacing is correct. If the spacing is correct then check the 2 cabinet rails for burrs that may
cause the wheels to bind.
- NOTE: If the micro track for the left to right movement is binding during its travel, check to see if the top
mirror bracket’s edge, also the shelf the micro track rides on, has been de-burred.
- NOTE: If the front door is having trouble closing fully, check to see that the front light harness is tie wrapped
above the highest point of the prize chamber wall. Next, check to see that the prize chamber wall is
far enough to the right to allow the right edge of the prize chamber doorframe to swing pass. Finally,
check to see that the hinge leaf length is short enough to prevent binding in the cabinet frame.
- NOTE: If the door will not lock properly or locks with difficulty, check to see if the lock rotates smoothly.
Next, check that the lock rods are not binding on the lock cam or the lock rod guides. Next, check
that all friction points have been lubricated with molly grease. Finally, if need be, file the lock rod
guides such that the door closes and locks smoothly but be careful not to file out too much, for this
may cause the door not to pull tightly to the cabinet as it was intended to do.
- NOTE: If the decimals light up on the displays after a self-test, an error has been logged. When the door is
in the open position, error codes will be shown on the left display. To advance through the error
codes press the drop button.
- NOTE: If, at the beginning of the self-test mode, the claw does not drop, one or more of the following may
apply: the prize sensor is not working or blocked; the string or string lever is mechanically binding;
the up or down switch is sticking or misaligned from its actuator.
- NOTE: If claw stays closed it is likely that the diode has blown and the transistor controlling the claw has
also blown. Shut off the game immediately and have a new diode (in coil assembly,) and transistor
(Q10 on main board,) installed. If the capacitors at C16 and C54 are not removed from the main
board, remove them for added protection to the solenoid transistor @ Q10.
- NOTE: If claw is jerky while being lowered, it is likely that the up spring is missing or not properly elongated.
Another possibility is that the string has mechanically bound on the spool. To fix the string binding,
enter programming mode and go to mode 26. By moving the joystick to the left and right you are
able to raise and lower the claw mechanism. Move the crane over the prize chute and lower the
claw mechanism all the way until it starts to wind up backwards. Reverse the motor direction to
raise the claw mechanism and properly rewind the string on the spool. Exit the programming mode
and the string should be free of mechanical binding.
- NOTE: If the claw stays open, first check for bad fuses on the main board, next check that there are no
wires dislodged from the connectors in the harness between the wagon and the crane, the harness
between the wagon and the main board, the crane assembly and the wagon assembly. If the
problem still exists and no fuses are blown or wires dislodged it is likely that the transistor controlling
the voltage to the claw has blown on the main board. Replace main board and have the other main
board repaired by electronics.

- NOTE: If the crane/wagon in the home position, still tries to move left or back, check to see that the
actuators are both present. Check to see that the sensors are present. Next, check to see that the
sensors and the actuators are both aligned. Then check to see that the sensor wires are not
dislodged from the connectors. Finally replace the sensor, it is likely to be bad.
