1. Accuracy. In the selection of machines, it must be ensured that the accuracy of the machine is very high. Many of the cheaper machines on the market generally have the disadvantage that the accuracy is not high enough. If you want to set it to 20 coins to successfully grab it once, you must always accurately grab it once with 20 coins, and there must be no deviation. And the Claw machines of Focon Animation with many years of experience can do this well, and this is one of the reasons why the Claow machine can be exported. High accuracy is the essence of the claw crane machines, which is the fundamental to ensure revenue;

2. Durability. There is another requirement for choosing a Claw machine: durability. High-quality Claw Crane machines can often be used for more than 10 years under normal conditions, and a low failure rate is also one of the criteria for judging the quality of a claw machine. Venue operators must not be tempted to take advantage of the short-term and affect the normal operation in the future;

3. Brightness. The appearance of the doll machine should be fresh and eye-catching, and strict requirements should also be placed on the brightness control of the Claw machine. Make sure that the color of the doll is perfectly displayed under the appropriate brightness. . Therefore, the operating room must strictly test the luminosity before use. For example, Focon Animation uses LED lights. Not only the accessories can reach 10 years, but the brightness is also just right. This is also a point that many store operators have failed to do.

This guide is meant for our professional Crane and Claw Stuffed Animal Arcade Vending Machines.

When you do the initial setup for you claw and crane vending machines, you'll want to make sure you calculate about how often a plush stuffed animal or prize will be won.

Here are a few terms to help you figure out how best to setup your new claw machine:

STRONG: When the claw first picks up the prize in the down position. This is the strength of the claw in the down position.
LOW: When the claw reaches the UP position and carries the prize to the prize drop point. This is the strength of the claw in the up position.
BONUS: This option can be set to any number desired from 0 to 99. it is recommended that the voltage for this setting is all the way up. for example, if you set this number at 20, it means 1 out of every 20 places you will more than likely give a prize away.

1. Adjust the black switch above the wire harness on the back of the coin mechanism to the up position and reboot the machine. This will put your claw machine into setup mode.
2. The display will show a flashing "00"
3. STRONG: Pres the drop button and the display will show "01" - Adjust the 1st black knob marked VRL on the voltage panel until you reach your desired voltage. Look inside your control door towards the left upper corner behind your voltage meter and you will see a small white panel with 3 black knobs on it (located right above the prize sensor). This is your strong voltage.
4. LOW: Press the drop button again and the display will show "02" and then adjust the middle black knob on the panel to your desired voltage. This is your low voltage. 
5. BONUS: Press the drop button a 3rd time and the display will show "03" and then adjust the 3rd knob on the panel to your desired voltage. This is your bonus voltage.
6. When all 3 voltages are set to your desired settings, turn the machine power off and put the black switch in the back of the coin mechanism back in the down position. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP. If the switch is left up, your machine will not function as it should. you will not be able to play or accept money.

Setting your Bonus:

With the inside power switch off, hold in the yellow free play button and turn the power back on. Keep your finger on the free play button until your display shows a "00." When you release the free play button the current setting will display. The default factory setting will always be at 10. This means that one out of every 10 plays will more than likely win a prize. This number can be changed by moving the joystick up or down to raise or lower the number. The bonus setting can be set anywhere between 0-99. When you are at your desired number, power off your claw and crane machine and back on again. You will then be set at your new bonus setting number.
