Learn how to install the Split Base for Super Chexx with this step-by-step guide. Ensure proper assembly and alignment for your bubble hockey game.

Quick answer

Install the Split Base for Super Chexx by first preparing your workspace, then aligning the base halves, securing them with the provided hardware, and finally attaching the game unit. Pay close attention to alignment to avoid wobbling.

Why proper installation matters

The Split Base for Super Chexx is designed to provide a stable foundation for your bubble hockey game. Improper assembly can lead to an uneven playing surface, which affects gameplay and may cause premature wear on the game components. Taking the time to install it correctly ensures years of trouble-free enjoyment.

Before you start

Before beginning, verify that you have all parts. The Split Base for Super Chexx includes two base halves and the necessary hardware. Ensure your Super Chexx game unit is compatible—if you have any doubts, contact M&P Amusement before purchase.

Step-by-step installation

Prepare the area: Clear a flat, level surface large enough to accommodate the assembled base. Lay down a soft cloth to protect the base's finish. A common mistake is installing on an uneven floor, which can cause the base to rock. Use a level to check the floor before starting.
Assemble the base halves: Position the two base halves so that the alignment tabs or marks match. Insert the connecting hardware (bolts or screws) and hand-tighten them. Do not fully tighten the hardware yet—this allows you to adjust alignment later.
Align and level the base: Place a level on the assembled base and adjust the halves as needed. Once level, tighten all hardware firmly using the appropriate tool (e.g., a screwdriver or wrench). Over-tightening can strip threads or crack the base. Tighten until snug, then stop.
Attach the game unit: Carefully lift the Super Chexx game unit and position it on the base. Align the mounting holes and secure it with the provided bolts. Ensure the unit sits flush and does not wobble. A common oversight is forgetting to check the game unit's balance after attachment. Test by gently rocking the unit.
Final check: Inspect all connections and ensure the game is stable. If you notice any movement, re-check the base alignment and hardware tightness. If the base still wobbles, consider using rubber shims under the base feet (not included) to compensate for minor floor irregularities.
