2. Attach Legs: Identify the four legs. Align each leg with the designated attachment points on the underside of the table. Secure each leg using the provided screws and tools. Ensure the rubber feet on the legs are facing downwards to protect surfaces and prevent movement during play.
3. Install Goals: Locate the two goal assemblies. Position each goal at the ends of the playing surface. Secure them in place using the provided screws.
4. Position the Table: Flip the assembled table upright and place it on a sturdy table or directly on the floor. Ensure there is enough space around the table for comfortable gameplay.
5. Connect Power: Plug the AC adapter into the designated port on the air hockey table, then plug the adapter into a standard wall outlet. The fan should activate, providing airflow to the playing surface.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the table is assembled and powered on, you are ready to play.

1. Power On: Ensure the AC adapter is securely plugged into both the table and a working wall outlet. The internal fan will begin to operate, creating an air cushion on the playing surface.
2. Start Play: Each player takes a pusher and positions themselves at opposite ends of the table. Place a puck in the center of the playing surface.
3. Gameplay: Use the pushers to strike the puck, aiming to score in your opponent's goal. The objective is to get the puck past your opponent and into their goal.
4. Scoring: When a puck enters a goal, the player who scored moves their score tracker on the built-in scorekeeper.
5. Winning the Game: The first player to reach a predetermined score (e.g., 7 or 10 points) wins the game.
6. Power Off: To turn off the game, simply unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet.
