5.1 Game Setup

• Place the foosball table on a stable, level surface.
• Ensure all player rods move freely and are not obstructed.
• Reset the score counters to zero.
• Place one of the mini-footballs into the kickoff area at the center of the table.

5.2 Playing the Game

The game can be played by two individuals or two teams. Players control their respective player rods to move the figures and strike the ball.

• Controlling Players: Use the textured handles to rotate and slide the stainless steel rods. This allows you to control your player figures to pass, shoot, and defend. The rods feature 360° rotation for dynamic play.
• Scoring: A goal is scored when the ball enters the opponent's goal box. Advance your score on the counter after each goal.
• Winning: The first player or team to score ten goals typically wins a round. A match can be determined by winning two rounds, or by having the highest score within a predetermined time limit.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the table surface and player rods with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the player rods where they pass through the table frame to ensure smooth operation.
• Tighten Fasteners: Regularly check all screws and bolts and tighten them as needed to maintain the table's stability and structural integrity.
• Storage: Store the table in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent warping or damage to the MDF components.

7. Troubleshooting

• Rods are Stiff: If player rods are difficult to move, apply silicone lubricant to the points where they pass through the table. Ensure no debris is obstructing their movement.
• Table Wobbles: Check that the table is on a level surface. Verify all leg bolts and crossbar connections are securely tightened.
• Player Figures Loose: If a player figure becomes loose, ensure it is properly secured to the rod. If it consistently detaches, inspect the connection point for damage.
