Step 12 - Close the ball loader and the door with the Winning Ball Exit/Playing tray (D). You may need to press down on that button again while closing the door.
Leave the glass/plastic door open for now.
Now load some balls into the playing tray, this is important DON'T LAUNCH BALLS YET! THE MACHINE WILL JAMB! (I learned this the hard way!)
This is a critical step for proper gameplay!

Add about 14 balls to the Winning Ball Tray (1). The balls should load into the Jackpot (13), press or move the Trigger (12) (Note, you have to remove a plastic cover to do this). Moving the Trigger (12) simulates the correct amount of balls in the machine, again this is only for testing the machine. This trigger prevents a person from "getting ripped off" by the machine if it starts to run low on balls, and they keep winning. This Trigger (12) "shuts down" the machine by preventing the Jackpot (13) from emptying.
Note: ONE ball should exit at the Ball exit 1 (7) for each ball that goes into a winning pocket. If you did not lock the Trigger (12) as described, the balls will jamb up in this chute. The player does not get these balls back. They fall into the same container as the "Loosing balls" and "Ball Dump" Exit (16),
Note: If you have only 15 balls, you will need to re-load the Winning Ball Tray (1) after each test.
Tulips should open or close as balls are dropped into them.
