Preparation This section provides instructions for preparing the game.

ESD Prevention Depending on the procedure, measures must be taken to prevent electrical shock and/or
electrostatic discharge (ESD) when servicing the game.
ESD: Observe all appropriate safety and ESD precautions listed in Preventing Injury and Damage in
the About this Guide chapter.
Install Game onto Complete the following steps to mount the game onto an 18" game stand. WMS recommends using
Stand the Bluebird 2 Drill template (16-023508-00-xx) or Plexiglas (03-023507-01-xx), Figure 2-1. To
obtain the template, contact the Customer Product Support Center at 866.967.4457 or
customersupport@wms.com.
CAUTION: The maximum weight for any BB2 base game is 251.6 lbs (114.123 kg). Verify that any
non-WMS game stand specifications meet this weight requirement before mounting the game.
Using inadequate game stands voids the WMS Warranty and may lead to distortion of the game
cabinet, including the inability to close and lock the Main Door.
Figure 2-1 BB2 Drill Template.

NOTE: Adhere to the following details:

„ All pilot holes are 0.13" diameter (0.3 cm)
„ Large holes are 3.75" diameter (9.2 cm)
„ Medium holes are 2.75" diameter (7 cm)
„ Small holes are 0.50" diameter (1.3 cm)
NOTE: Space the games at least 6" apart.

April 2009
 Preparation 2-3
1 To secure the game stands, attach the game stands back-to-back and side-to-side.
WARNING: The BB2 cabinet has a high center of balance. Immediately secure cabinet for
stability before conducting any procedure. Improper mounting can cause the stand to tip over,
risking damage and injury.
2 Using the Drill Template, complete the following steps:
a Position the template by setting it flush with the back of the game stand and then centering
it side-to-side.
b Using a centerpunch and hammer, mark the bolt holes, electrical holes, and if applicable,
the drop hole.
c Drill a pilot hole for each of the four bolt holes.
d If applicable, drill the pilot holes for the drop and electrical holes.
e Remove the template.
f Drill the four bolt holes.
g Drill the electrical holes and, if applicable, the drop hole.
3 With a lift jack, lift the game onto the game stand.
NOTE: WMS recommends using a lift jack. If one is not available, three technicians are required
to lift the game cabinet: one on each side of the cabinet and one in the front.
If a lift jack is being used, proceed to step 4 on page 2-7.
a All: Stage the rear of the game one (1) foot from the front of the game stand, Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2 Staging the game.

b Lifters: Position yourselves on either side of the game, Figure 2-3 (A).
Spotter: Stand in front of the game, Figure 2-3 (B).
Figure 2-3 Lifters and spotter in position.

CAUTION: For maximum safety, do not rush. Perform the steps at a controlled even pace.
c Lifters: Place a hand approximately two-thirds up the front of the game for maximum grip
control. The grip point may vary depending on the game model.
d Lifters: Place your other hand at the top back edge of the game, near the top, and tip the
game forward so that the game pivots on its front bottom edge, Figure 2-4 (A). Use your
forward hand to control the tipping of the game.
Spotter: Assist by controlling and guiding the forward tilt of the machine, Figure 2-4 (B).
Figure 2-4 Leaning the game forward.

 Preparation 2-5
e Lifters: Squat down and slide your back hand under the back bottom edge of the game.
The forward hand should remain in its original position.
Figure 2-5 Hand position under the game.

f Lifters: Maintain eye contact with each other as one lifter counts to three to coordinate the
lifting of the game.
g Lifters: To lift the game up from the floor, use the technique of rising up with your back
straight Figure 2-6 (A), arms locked at the elbow, and using only the lifting power of your
legs.
Spotter: Control the forward tilt of the game.
Figure 2-6 Lifting the game.

16-022128-04
2-6 Chapter 2: Installation and Setup

h Lifters: With a smooth slow movement, place the game on the game stand so that the front
edge of the game stand is half way under the game bottom, Figure 2-7.
Spotter: Continue to control the forward tilt.
Figure 2-7 Placing the
game halfway on the game stand.

i Lifters: Once the game is supported by the front edge of the game stand, slide your hand
from under the game to a comfortable position on the rear of the game, Figure 2-8 (A).
j All: Allow the game to slowly tilt back so that the weight of the game is supported on the
game stand.
Figure 2-8 Placing Game on the
game stand.

 Preparation 2-7
k All: Slide the game back on the game stand and align the bolt holes in the bottom of the
game with the holes on the game stand, Figure 2-9.
Figure 2-9 Positioning the game.

4 Unlock and open the Main Door.

5 Remove the Coin Tray by completing the following steps:
a Lift the releases, Figure 2-10 (A).
Figure 2-10 Coin Tray releases.
A

b Pull the Coin Tray forward and out, Figure 2-10 (B).
6 Carriage bolts are recommended for mounting the game for security and ease of assembly.
Drop four 3/8” x 2" carriage bolts down through the bolt holes and secure the cabinet to the
game stand with the carriage bolts and washers.

CAUTION: WMS requires that all BB2 games are mounted to game stands using the four
carriage bolts supplied with the game for stability and security. Failing to do so may lead to
cabinet warping.

Remove Cover Plate To Install Second Lock (if necessary)
If a second lock is required in the place of the cover plate, Figure 2-12 (A), complete the following
steps to remove the cover plate:
Figure 2-12 Punch perforated cover plate out of
CPU Enclosure door.

1 Use a 3/16" or 1/4" flathead screwdriver to punch the perforated cover plate out of the CPU
Enclosure Door, Figure 2-12 (A).
2 Remove the cam for the new lock, Figure 2-11 (C), using a 3/16" or 1/4" flathead screwdriver to
bend the cam until it breaks off.
3 Install the second lock according to casino protocol.
4 Re-attach the door for the CPU Enclosure.

Cashbox Locks Please note the following:

„ On JCM 12 and 13 WBAs, the required cam is taped to the Cashbox.
„ Do not lose the cam. If the cam is lost, a new cam must be ordered.

Power Setup The Power Supply is a single unit, and is connected to a power source with an AC Line Cord.
Complete the following steps to connect the BB2 to an approved power source:
WARNING: Plugging your game into an improper line voltage source may create a fire and/or
electrical shock hazards. An improper line voltage or frequency can also cause game damage or
malfunctions.
CAUTION: The power strip is the means of disconnection, and should be installed near the
equipment and be easily accessible.
1 Verify that the line voltage at the outlet is either 120 VAC or 220-240 VAC, per the rating of the
specific game.
2 Use an outlet tester to check for properly implemented ground, hot and neutral outlet wiring.
Only use a grounded AC outlet. The gaming device accepts a line frequency of 50 to 60 Hz. If
the outlet meets requirements, proceed to the next step.
