Rollergames "Deep Freeze" Magnet Performance
Adjustments
INFORMATION
Three adjustments are recommended, to ensure
proper "Deep Freeze" Magnet operation. Deter-
mine which is applicable for your game. (Some
games may need only one; some may need more
than one.)
The first adjustment affects the ball direction, as
it exits the tube at the end of the Ball Popper Wire
Ramp. The second adjustment affects the ball
location when frozen by the magnet. The third
adjustment affects the magnet core height
(hold) it. Also, be careful of the direction of the
roll. The tab should direct the ball slightly to-
ward the ball guide to ensure that the ball will
roll through the magnet region, rather than
possibly bouncing away from the magnet region.

PROCEDURE
1. Check the ball movement as the magnet
freezes (holds) it. Ideally, the ball will be rubbing
on the red flipper rubber, during the freeze. This
dampens the magnetic oscillations much faster
and allows a well-aligned shot up the left Upper
Plastic Ramp.
2. Adjust the Upper Right Flipper paddle posi-
tion, if possible, to allow the ball to rest on the red
flipper rubber, while the magnet is holding it.
PROCEDURE
1. Check the direction and distance of ball
movement as it exits the Ball Popper Wire Ramp
tube. As it drops out of the tube, the tab at the
bottom of the tube should send the ball rolling
uphill (upward on the playfield) approximately 1
inch, before rolling down the ball guide into the
"Deep Freeze" Magnet region, near the Upper
Right Flipper.
2. Adjust the tab at the lower end of the Ramp
tube to obtain the proper uphill roll. Be careful
of the uphill roll distance because too long an
uphill roll can cause the ball to gain too much
momentum and roll completely through the
magnet area too fast for the magnet to freeze
3. Be careful during this adjustment to avoid
making the loop shot around the ball guide at the
top of the playfield end in an outhole drain (up
the left side of the ball guide, around the upper
rim, and down the right side of the ball guide,
past the flipper paddle, and down between both
lower flippers into the outhole). The Upper Right
Flipper paddle should send the ball onto the
lower right flipper, when properly adjusted.
