3. Setup and Assembly

The GoSports 54 Inch Air Hockey Table comes largely pre-assembled. Follow these steps to complete the setup:

3.1 Attaching the Legs

1. Carefully unbox the air hockey table and place the main table body upside down on a soft, protected surface to prevent scratches.
2. Identify the four leg pieces and the corresponding attachment points on the underside of the table.
3. Align each leg with its designated corner and secure it using the provided hardware (screws, washers, nuts) as per the included assembly diagram. Ensure all connections are tight.
4. Attach the leg levelers to the bottom of each leg. Adjust them later to ensure the table is perfectly level.

3.2 Attaching the Goals

5. Locate the two goal assemblies.
6. Attach each goal to its respective end of the table using the provided screws.

3.3 Connecting the AC Adapter

7. Once the table is fully assembled and upright, locate the AC adapter port, typically on the underside or side of the table.
8. Plug the AC adapter into the port and then into a standard electrical outlet. This powers the air blower and the electronic scoreboard.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On/Off

• After connecting the AC adapter, the air blower will automatically activate, creating a cushion of air for smooth puck movement.
• The electronic scoreboard will also power on.
• To turn off the table, simply unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet.

4.2 Using the Electronic Scoreboard

The electronic scoreboard tracks scores for two players. It typically features:

• ON/OFF/RESET Button: Press to turn the scoreboard on or off. Hold to reset scores to zero.
• Score Sensors: Located in each goal, these sensors automatically detect when a puck enters and update the score.
• Battery Compartment: The scoreboard may require AAA batteries for its display, even if the main air blower is AC powered. (Check product specifications for battery requirements).

2. Place a puck in the center of the playing surface.
3. Players use their pushers to strike the puck, attempting to score by sending it into the opponent's goal.
4. The air blower ensures the puck glides smoothly across the surface.
5. The electronic scoreboard will automatically track goals.
6. The game typically ends when one player reaches a predetermined score (e.g., 7 goals).
