got an its amazing delivered today on a 70jp. it says its floated to 250 when it came and i put refill key in it said refill 1pnd x 250 so i put the 250 in by playing it then lo and behold its still going into hopper?? been told it can hold 350 but if it thinks its floated to 250 why is it not dropping when full? any ideas? :/

I'd suggest you pick a float (say £250), put that amount straight into the hopper (with the doors open), then insert your refill key, turn it and press the 'HOPPER TOPPED UP' button in the machine, should have a large yellow or orange sticker pointing to it

I could be wrong but I assume it's meant to be a £250 float level without a note validator, and £350 with.

If its saying refil 1 pnd x 250 the hopper is obv empty,playing coins through it will fill it up, but as the above post says open top door and put 250 pound coins straight into the hopper and press the hopper top up button and this will solve it, or you can put your refil key in and manually feed 250 coins into the hopper. after this your coins will then divert too the cashbox.

realise what was wrong lol where i played the 250 through to fill the hopper i won 200 and left it in the bank, so when that was in the bank the machine kept putting them in the hopper for some reason lol it obviously thought for some unknown reason it was 200 short :/

I was thinking about that myself, Red Gaming machines used to do that but I didn't realise normal Barcrest games did as well!

dont forget to hopper dump every now and then as to many coins in there can cause a jam which is annoying

I don't know if your machine has one or two hopper dump switches, hopefully it's just one. Anyway, look inside the bottom of the machine, probably around the cashboxes, for a button. You need to have the machine on, the bottom door open. Once the machine has booted up, insert and turn the refill key, then press the hopper dump button (it might also be labelled 'dump float' or similar). Hopefully it'll then say something about dumping the float on the display, and I think you just press the start button after.
