1.0 Getting Started
The E-maxTM Bingo Console was designed to have a distinctively attractive
appearance, using careful manufacturing and assembly techniques to insure
quality. The E-maxTM Bingo Console is modular in design comprising of an
electronics console and a ball console. Each is packaged in a separate shipping
container. One system configuration uses two ball consoles with one electronic
console. In this case, you will receive three shipping containers. Each Ball
Console weighs approximately 165 pounds while the Electronics Console weighs
about 196 pounds.
1.1 Unpacking Console
9Inspect the shipping containers for possible signs of damage. If damage is detected, refer to the Damage
Action Process section (1.3) for procedures.
9Use scissors or box cutter to cut the straps from the skid only, taking care not to cut the straps protecting the
console. With the help of at least one assistant, carefully slide the Ball Blower Section of the console from
the skid and place it on solid flooring. Cut the remaining four straps from the console and remove the
cardboard top.
9Remove the foam packing inserts from inside the top and slide the cardboard tube up and off the console. A
minimum of two people are required to safely unpack the console. Never lift the Ball Blower section by the
arm rest or any part of the ball chamber or ball catcher assembly (lift only by the console top). With one
person lifting from each end of the console, raise the console up and out from the carton and foam inserts. Set
the unpacked Ball Blower section on solid flooring. Check that all casters are in place. Do not destroy or
discard carton or packing material until after final inspection and testing.
9Next, carefully slide the Electronics cabinet carton from the skid. Cut the remaining four straps from the
carton and remove the cardboard top. Remove the foam packing inserts from inside the top and slide the
cardboard tube up and off the console. A minimum of two people are required to safely unpack the console.
Never lift the Electronics cabinet from the monitor arm or any part of the monitor. Ensure that all doors and
drawers are secure before lifting. With one person lifting from each end of the Electronics cabinet, raise the
console up and out from the carton and foam inserts. Set the unpacked electronics Cabinet section on solid
flooring. Check that all casters are in place. Do not destroy or discard carton or packing material until after
final inspection and testing.
9Unpack the keyboard from the cardboard box. Place the keyboard on the electronics cabinet in front of the
touch screen monitor. Remove the mouse from the plastic bag and set next to the keyboard.
9At this point, you should inspect the consoles for any obvious shipping damage. If any problems are found,
immediately contact your distributor for advice and refer to the Damage Action Process section (1.3) for
procedures.

1.3 Damage Action Process
Your E-max™ Bingo Console contains delicate electronic equipment. It is imperative that you thoroughly inspect the
contents of each package before accepting product delivery from the carrier.
In case of severe damage, refuse the equipment from the carrier. Contact your distributor for immediate replacement.
In case of damage, make a note on the bill of lading before accepting, take a photo of the damage, and keep the packaging to
aid in recovering the amount of claim against the carrier.
If the product is damaged but acceptable, take a photo before and after unpacking as a record of the damage and contact the
carrier’s agent immediately for inspection. Be sure to obtain a copy of the inspection report for your records.
If these precautions are not taken, we cannot assist you in recovering the amount of the claim against the carrier.

Required Tools
1. 3/16 inch Allen wrench
2. ¼ Socket Driver (torque)
3. 5/16 Socket
4. Socket Extension 4”
2.1 Console Installation
9Roll both (or all three) cabinets into the approximate place they will be used.
Ideally you would like the console to be slightly elevated and centered in the hall. Position the two cabinets
as close together as you can with the Ball Blower on the side selected by the hall manager, or place the
electronics console in between the two ball consoles.
9Slide the first aluminum U channel between the cabinets along the bottom. Use eight of the 5/16” – 18 x ¾”
bolts and washers to secure the bottom and sides of the two cabinets together (AT THIS POINT DO NOT
TIGHTEN BOLTS COMPLETELY WHICH WILL PREVENT PROPER U CHANNEL ALIGNMENT).
Next, install the top aluminum U channel using the same method described above. Next, Run the Ball tray
computer, USB and ball chamber power cables through the holes provided, into the Electronics cabinet.
(Refer to Section 2.4 for electrical installation procedures) Lastly, torque each bolt to between fifteen and
twenty foot pounds to secure U Channel’s in place.
9Unlock the Electronics Cabinet drawer and open about one inch. Unlock and open the Graphics Panel door
on the Electronics cabinet. Using access provided by the graphics panel door, feed the three cables from the
Ball Blower Cabinet into the Electronics Cabinet. Insert the front Filler Panel between the cabinets in front of
the console (IF TWO BALL CONSOLES ARE PRESENT FEED SECOND GROUP OF THREE CABLES
FROM SECOND BALL CONSOLE INTO ELECTROICS CONSOLE). Attach the rubber bungee cord to
the eye hook. Next attach the other end of the rubber bungee cord to the rear Filler panel. (Note: Ensure
that the cup holder is facing up) (Figure 2.1)
9Open the set of Atlas bingo balls. The E-max Gaming Corporation recommends ONLY Atlas bingo balls.
Atlas bingo balls are multi-colored and double numbered. Other balls may have been specified for your
system. Inspect each ball for damage and insert each ball into its corresponding slot in the ball tray to ensure
the set is complete. Any problems,
contact your distributor for a
replacement.
