PRECAUTIONS REGARDING INSTALLATION
WARNING
This product is an indoor game machine. Do not install it outside. Even indoors, avoid installing in places mentioned below so as not
to cause a fire, electric shock, injury and/or malfunction. Places subject to rain or water leakage, or places subject to high humidity
in the proximity of an indoor swimming pool and/or shower, etc. Places subject to direct sunlight, or places subject to high
temperatures in the proximity of heating units, etc. Places filled with inflammable gas or vicinity of highly inflammable/volatile
chemicals or hazardous matter. Dusty places. Sloped surfaces. Places subject to any type of violent impact. Vicinity of anti-disaster
facilities such as fire exits and fire extinguishers. Areas where the temperature exceeds the applicable temperature (ambient
temperature) range of 5 to 30 degrees centigrade.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING INSTALLATION
LIMITATION OF USAGE
WARNING
Be sure to check the Electrical Specifications. Ensure that this product is compatible with the location's power supply, voltage, and
frequency requirements. A plate describing Electrical Specifications is attached to the product. Non-compliance with the Electrical
Specifications can cause a fire and electric shock. This product requires a breaker and earth mechanism as part of the location
facilities. Using the product without these can cause a fire and electric shock. Ensure that the indoor wiring for the power supply is
rated at 15 A or higher (AC single phase 100 V ~ 120 V area), and 7 A or higher (AC 220 V ~ 240 V area). Noncompliance with the
Electrical Specifications can cause a fire and electric shock.
Be sure to use an independent power supply equipped with an earth leakage breaker. Using a power supply without an earth
leakage breaker can cause an outbreak of fire if a power surge occurs. Putting many loads on one electrical outlet can cause
generation of heat and a fire resulting from overload.
When using an extension cord, ensure that the cord is rated at 15 A or higher (AC 100 V ~ 120 V area) and 7 A or higher (AC 220 V
~ 240 V area). Using a cord rated lower than the specified rating can cause a fire and electric shock.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN MOVING THE MACHINE
WARNING
• Always disconnect the power cable before moving the product. If it is moved with the power cable connected, the cable could be
damaged, causing fire or electric shock.
• To move the unit over the floor, pull in the adjustors and have the casters contact the floor. While moving the unit, be careful that
the casters do not roll over the power cord or the ground wire. If cord or wire is damaged, there could be electrical shocks and/or
short circuits.
• When crossing a sloped or stepped area, always have the machine travel lengthways. Travelling with the machine in a sideways
position could result in the machine falling over onto its side. Always use a minimum of two people working together plus lifting
apparatus to accommodate slopped areas or stairs.
• To lift up the cabinet, hold it at the bottom at the designated lifting points. If you hold it anywhere else, the weight of the cabinet
could cause damage to parts or attachments, resulting in injury.
• Do not push the cabinet from the side when moving. Pushing from the side as it may result in the cabinet falling over.
