Phase 1 – Physical Assembly of the Makoto Arena II

Please read and follow these instructions carefully. Follow the instructions in order.

1

Your Makoto Arena II should arrive by truck with the boxes banded to the pallet. This is how it leaves our facility. Each box is easily handled by two people. To save on “liftgate” charges from your freight company, simply have someone at the delivery facility on hand to help the driver offload the boxes. You will need a knife or pair of scissors to cut the plastic pallet bands BE SURE TO INSPECT THE BOXES CAREFULLY FOR ANY DAMAGE. YOU, THE CUSTOMER, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FILING ANY CLAIMS WITH THE FREIGHT COMPANY. TAKE PICTURES OF ANY DAMAGE AND NOTE ANY DAMAGE ON THE DELVERY PAPERS. BE SURE TO NOTIFY US IMMEDIATELY SO WE MAY ASSIST IN FILING CLAIMS.

2

Carefully unpack all the boxes.

3

This box contains all parts and hardware for the assembly of your arena. It should contain 4 bags (5 for international shipments), two sets of leg cable harnesses and, if you have ordered the accessory storage kit, the silver staff bracket will be in this box as well.


Computer

Kiosk

4

Locate the three towers, the three bases, the one bag containing 44 black bolts and 12 lockwashers, and the one bag with 2 allen wrenches. Lay all of these out in the area where your Makoto arena will be assembled.

5

Identify the main tower. This tower will have a label in the handle with a “3.” It will also be the only tower with a serial number sticker on the inside of the tower. The other two towers are called the secondary towers. These will be marked as “1” and “2.” Please refer to the diagram below to set up the towers in the proper configuration.

Tower 3

Tower 1

Tower 2


6

We’ll begin to attach the base to this tower. Note that the four holes at the base of the tower….

7

…match up to the four holes in the base.

8

Don’t forget the lock washers. Line up these holes and insert the four bolts with the lock washers as shown. We recommend that you insert all the four bolts first – finger-tight – and then go back and tighten all the bolts with the allen wrench ( or a drill with a 7/32 allen wrench bit) Tighten these bolts firmly.

9

Repeat the process with the other two towers.


10

Remove the retaining screw at the top of each of the back panels on all three towers. Use the small allen wrench to loosen the screws.

11

Remove the Back panels from each of the towers by lifting up on the inset handle. The panels are firmly in place - It may help to put your foot on the base as you lift the panels off. Set the back panels aside. Be sure to note which tower is the main tower. (#3 and it also has the serial number label on the inside.)

12

Removing back panels (continued). Then lay the towers back down for safety.

13

If you have leg extensions for an 8 ft arena, now is the time to attach those extensions. … if not skip to picture # 16.


14

Attaching leg extensions (continued).

15

Attaching leg extensions (continued).

You will first start with attaching the two legs to the MAIN tower.

16

Locate the leg cable harnesses. There are two of them that are located in the parts box.


17

VERY IMPORTANT: Note that there are different types

of connectors on the ends of the leg harness cables. One end has a type “B” USB connector and a male power connector. This is the end that connects into the boards on the secondary towers.

The other end has a type “A” USB connector and a female power connector. This is the end of the harness that will be plugged in to the cables from the computer kiosk.

18

Thread the cable in the leg. Double check your connectors! Be sure to note which end of the cable is going through the leg so that the proper end of the leg cable harness is going to the correct tower. Also, look at the pictures below carefully. Make sure that the bolt holes for the leg are positioned correctly to attach to the base.

19

There are a total of 5 bolt holes. Two face up and the other three are on the outside of the leg. Double-check your configuration because you’ll have a lot of work to undo if this is not properly laid out.


20

Laying out the leg cables (continued). This is a picture of the ends of the cables going into a secondary tower.

21

Carefully thread the leg cable harness through the base of the tower and up through the hole in the center of the base as shown below. Reminder: there is no “bottom” to the base of the tower so if you need to angle the tower to reach up underneath the base it’s easy to do. Note: This is a two-person operation. Make sure you have one person holding the tower while the other person is threading the cable.

22

Make sure you have the correct ends of the cables for the tower you’re working on. (Main tower vs. a secondary tower)

23

Now for the main tower. This is the tower which will have the kiosk attached. These are the cable ends for the main tower. They have the Type “A” USB connector and the female power connector. There’s also a grounding cable with a round connector.


24

Continue inserting the leg into the main base.

25

Thread one bolt, finger tight, right away for safety.

26

Install all bolts loosely first. DO NOT TIGHTEN UNTIL ALL LEGS ARE IN THEIR BASES. If you tighten bolts now you will have problems getting the other holes to line up properly.

27

Repeat with other leg. Double check you have the correct ends of the leg cable harness in the main tower.


28

Both legs should now be attached to the main tower

29

Both legs should now be attached to the main tower (continued)

30

Attach the other two towers. Make sure the towers are positioned as per the diagram on page 5.

31

Be certain that the cable is through the opening on each tower. Remember that the leg cable harness on the end in the secondary towers have the type “B” USB connector and the male power connector.


32

Connect the cables in each of the two secondary towers as shown. Be certain that you feel a “snap” in both the USB connector and the power connector as they fit into place. Also, note the stress relief clamp locate beneath the board. Be sure to have a small amount of slack in the cables on the “board” side of that stress relief clamp. Position the round end of the grounding cable over the screw and then tighten the clamp to hold all the cables firmly in place. For a close-up view of this clamp, see picture # 39.

33

Install the third leg between the two secondary towers. It has no cables in it. It is for stability only.

34

If you are installing the floor pod accessories, now is the time. If not, skip to picture #39 Unpack each of the floor pod assemblies and place them in front of a tower. Any floor pod will work with any tower.


35

Feed the cable through the hole in the front of the tower up in to the back of the tower where the other cables are plugged into the tower controller board. Do not attach the cable yet.

36

Note how the floor pod fits against the tower base – one flange fits under the leg, while the other flange fits on top of the base – matching up with the bolt holes. Remove the 4 top bolts on the tower base.

37

Slide the floor pod into place so that the bolt holes line up properly. It is designed to be a snug fit. Replace the 4 bolts on the top of the base – now going through the floor pod assembly to secure it in place.


38

Connect the floor pod to the next in line available pin connector at the top of the tower controller board.

39

Now repeat on the other two towers

40

Again, note stress relief clamp on all towers. Be certain to have a little bit of slack in the cable on the Board side of the stress relief clamp.

41

Let’s install the main computer kiosk.


42

Set the actual computer kiosk post and control box nearby.

43

Thread the cables through the kiosk stand. TIP: Use a long banding strap (or tie a nut to some string) to go through the hole first. Tape the cables to the other end of the strap so that you can pull the cables through with the aid of the banding strap.

44

Thread the cables through the kiosk stand (continued) Really. Use the tip noted above. It works and you’ll save yourself some frustration.

45

Attach the computer control box to the kiosk stand with the 4 bolts provided. There is an alignment hole which matches up to the cutout in the top of the kiosk post. This is for alignment purposes only. No bolt is used here.


46

Note that the front side of the kiosk has the on/off switch and the serial number label – this corresponds with the front side of the kiosk stand that has the holes for additional storage hooks. (see pictures below)

47

Note the holes for additional storage hooks. If you purchased the storage accessory you will add the hooks here. Note the front side of the kiosk. The front side has the 2 USB ports.

48

You should have 6 cables coming out of the end of the kiosk stand - 1 main black power cord, 1 tower power cable with 3 male connector ends, 2 USB type “A” cables, 1 USB cable with a “B” type connector, and a green grounding cable. With the exception of the black power cord (which comes out through the hole in the side) these cables will go into the main tower.

49

Position the kiosk support bracket so that the holes in the support bracket align with the holes in the back of the base.


50

The large, center hole is the one in which you’ll feed the cables from the computer kiosk.

51

Carefully feed the cables through the hole in the base. REMEMBER TO KEEP THE BLACK POWER CORD SEPARATE.

52

Connect the cables before bolting the kiosk stand to the support. Begin with the USB Type “B” connector.

53

Next, plug in the white power cable connector that’s at the end of the power cable (there are two other connectors on that cable).


54

Now connect the power connectors from the two tower cables to the other connectors on the kiosk power cable.

55

Connect the USB cables from the kiosk to the USB connectors from each of the tower cables.

56

Attach the stress clamp to only the power cable. This is the thickest cable. Be sure to allow slack on the “board” side of the cable. You will have 3 grounding wires with round connector ends. (1 from each tower and 1 from the computer) Slip these over the screw and tighten the nut.

57

Attach kiosk stand to main tower using the remaining two bolts and the provided large allen wrench. Make certain that the cables are coming up into the back of the tower through the cut out in the base and that none of the cables are pinched.


58

Tighten bolts for the kiosk support. AGAIN, make sure no cables are pinched. Make sure power cord is coming through the hole in the base of the kiosk support pose.

59

If you have the storage accessory, attach the staff holder on the back panel of the main tower (#3).

60

Attach the staff holder on the back panel of the main tower. (continued)

61

Replace the back panels on all three towers. Don’t forget to replace the screws at the top of each back panel.


62

Remember, the back panel with the staff holder goes on the back of the main tower, with the kiosk.

63

Attach the ball holder hooks on the kiosk support post.

64

Place the staffs and the boxing balls – Congratulations! You’re done with the assembly of your new Makoto Arena II…!

65

And as a reminder – your Makoto Arena II has internet connectivity. This can be used to download new programs, for training, or for troubleshooting! Just connect an Ethernet cable to the port on the bottom of the computer control box.


66

One last thing – This is a computer.

Always use a surge suppressor rated to at least 2160 joules or a power conditioner!

Next, let’s go to the computer set-up!

WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF EITHER A SURGE PROTECTOR RATED TO AT LEAST 2160 JOULES, OR A POWER CONDITIONER.

POWER SURGES CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRONICS WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.


Phase 2 – Computer set up and configuration of the Makoto Arena II

1

Your Makoto Arena II is powered by an Intel Atom processor operating the Windows 7 embedded operating system. The three towers are viewed by the computer as three separate USB peripherals.

2

When you first turn on the computer, after it completes the standard Widows start up procedures, this will be your first screen. This is the Makoto home screen.

3

Push the yellow “choose game” button and select any game to play.


4

After you select a game to play, the screen will return to the main Makoto home screen. Now, press the green “play” button. The computer will proceed to play the game you’ve selected.

5

Your Makoto Arena II gives you the ability to customize your own games. You must login with the proper access to create a game or create new users. Select the blue “Login” button

6

Your service login is: User name: “service” Password: “@cc3ss!” (this is the word access using the @ symbol for the letter “A” and the numeral “3” for the letter “E”)

7

When you tap in the “User Name” area, a small keyboard will appear. Tap this little keyboard….


8

And a larger keyboard appears. Since this is on a touch screen it works a little differently – you can’t hold down two keys at one time. For example, to get the “@” symbol: First press the “Shift” key THEN press the “2/@” key. PLEASE NOTE: There are 2 USB ports on the kiosk that can be used to plug in a keyboard and mouse if you prefer.

9

Reminder: Your service login is User name: “service” Password: “@cc3ss” Now, select the Blue “tools” button

10

This brings you into the “Tools” area where you can create new games and/or users. This area is also used to troubleshoot.

11

When you have completed your task within “Tools”, select “Done” on this screen.


12

You are now back to the main Makoto home page and ready to start playing Makoto!
