Levelling the game and setting the slope

Steps

  • Lay a long level across the cabinet near the backbox and again at the front (or a small level on the playfield with the glass off).
  • Adjust the leg levelers until the game is level side to side; even a slight lean pulls the ball to one side.
  • Set the front-to-back slope; the game manual gives the maker's figure, and many owners raise the rear for a faster game.
  • If the flippers can no longer get the ball to the top of the playfield, lower the rear a little.
  • Recheck side-to-side level, then recentre the tilt pendulum in its ring, since changing the slope changes the tilt.
