KIT CONTENTS: Johnny Mnemonic Topper sign with flashers fully assembled. 1 Wire harness with connectors, and 2 screws to secure the topper down and 1 X 47 key remote. This would be everything needed for an install.

Installation 1. Place topper into desired position and secure using the 2 hex screws supplied. There are 2 anchor holes on the backside base.

2. Open the backbox and locate the hex screws holding the security screen in place at the upper top. Loosen the hex screws to allow you to run the double connecter (9 pin) end of the cable harness under the screen and out the back of the head.

3. Plug the harness that you pushed through the head rear vent into the topper.

4. Next you will need to remove the speaker grill. Simply lift it up and lay it face down where it is. You will not need to totally remove it. You just need access to the lower portion of the Power Driver board.

5. Locate the J118 - 4pin plug on the power driver board and unplug it.

6. Locate the shorter cable on the topper harness. It will look like the first picture below. It will have a 4 pin splitter harness on the end. Plug the end of the 4 pin into the J-118 connecter on the power driver board. WARNING! Make sure the orange cable is on the right side of the black cable as it shows in the second image below.

7. Now plug in the cable that was originally plugged into the power driver board into the extra plug that is now available from the harness.

8. Take the rest of the harness which will be a bit bulky and run it down through the right side of the head and into the lower body of the cabinet. DO NOT RUN down the center hole as it will be a potential hazard for the hand motor. Run it down the far right hole next to the tubing. Park the playfield in a have raised position and that will help it drop through easier. Remember to remove balls for further steps.

9. Re-assemble the speaker screen and backbox as we are finished in this area. Lift the playfield to locate the harness and pull it all through and lay is straight over the front edge of the cabinet to prepare for the final steps.

10. You will notice each harness end is numbered. Use the harness map on the next page to locate where each numbered harness will be routed to. The chart will help you identify your existing Johnny Mnemonic harness adaptors by wire color as well. After you locate the existing harness on the game you will need to disconnect it in order to insert your topper harness.

11. Double check to make sure you have the plug-ins all correct. If you are satisfied with your connections then we can move onto the final alligator connector clip. Locate the pop bumper flasher and connect the alligator clip to the Black/Brown wire as shown below. You can refer to the harness chart to help in locating the flasher as well.

12. You can now do a little cleanup work. You can insert the loose/slack wire into the wire holders that are already in use by the Johnny Mnemonic main harness to clean up the install a bit.

Job Complete: Test it out and enjoy the show!
