To mount trackball to a wooden control panel without routing capability use Trackball Mounting Template 3
1. Fill any existing holes in the wooden control panel.
2. Place and secure Template #3 to your control panel in the desired location.
NOTE: The trackball should be as far away from the monitor as possible.
3. Carefully cut the hole for the trackball in the shape indicated on the template. The trackball should fit the hole shape exactly.
4. Drill the mounting holes as indicated.
5. Remove template and file down any rough edges.
6. Using the Trackball Orientation Template, cut a 3" hole in the Plexigals overlay to fit over the trackball. Be sure to include holes for the buttons and all of the mounting bolts. Carefully file and smooth the cut edges so players do not cut their hands when playing.
7. See Graphic Overlays section on page 6 on how to install the graphics.
8. Insert the trackball into the newly cut hole. Place the Plexiglas overlay on top of the control panel. Place the supplied metal plate under the trackball and use the carraige bolts to secure it to the control panel. The metal plate below and the Plexiglas above will secure the trackball into position. It is highly recommended that a nylon-insert locking nut be added to the nut of each carriage bolt to ensure a tight, secure fit. Loose bolts can create unsafe conditions for game play.
NOTE: Be sure the trackball is mounted as shown in the diagram on page 4.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the trackball. It will warp and cause the trackball to not operate correctly.
NOTE: Be sure to mount the trackball so as much of the ball is exposed as possible.
9. Securely fasten the trackball grounding wires to Field Ground in your cabinet. This step is important in reducing static buildup and discharge caused by the trackball.
