Operation & Setup

  • Setup Steps:
    1. Unbox and position the machine on a level surface.
    2. If the surface is uneven, install the included rear leveling brackets using the bolt pattern on the back of the cabinet.
    3. Plug the machine into a standard 110V outlet.
    4. Use the joystick and buttons to access system settings.
    5. Adjust key configurations:
      • Set game mode to Normal.
      • Adjust volume either via system settings or physical dial.
      • Select LED color and one of two available music tracks.
      • Set win percentage (recommended: 15%) and buy-it-now credit amount.
      • Configure claw strength for high, medium, and low settings based on prize size and desired win frequency.
      • Enable/disable Air Catch mode and configure movement speeds (left/right, front/back, up/down).
      • Calibrate the claw drop depth and confirm prize chute sensor alignment.
    6. Use the Test Gantry function to automate claw movement and confirm gantry pathing and claw grip.
    7. (Optional) Install a Nayax or Cantaloupe card reader using the included, color-matched faceplate.
    8. If you prefer not to use the locker box, install the included header plate instead.
