Inspect Immediately after
Transporting the Product
After receiving the shipment, inspect the product thoroughly to ensure
that it has been shipped with care. Before turning the power on, please
check the following:
Check the cabinet for damage or shifting that may have occurred
during shipping. Are there any dented portions or defects (cuts, etc.)
on the external surfaces of the cabinet?
Are all the legs intact?
Do the power supply voltage and frequency requirements meet with
those of the location (110V/220V)?
Are all wires linked correctly and securely connected to each other?
If coupled in an incorrect manner, the connection will not be made
accurately and it could cause not only irreparable damage to the
machine, but also is a potential fire hazard. DO NOT INSERT
CONNECTORS FORCIBLY.
Check that the all the cables, including power cables, are undamaged.
Do power cables or other wires have any splices, cuts, or dents?
Have you been provided with all of the associated accessories? Tip:
Most of the pieces required to assemble the table are shipped within
the table. Use your table keys to unlock the table and check parts for
damage or other problems.
Can all doors/lids be opened with the accessory keys? Can doors/lids
be firmly closed? Does the coin box key open the coin box(es)?

After Installing the Game
1. Check the voltage regularly to avoid a short circuit or potential fire. Do not
overload the circuit.
2. Keep the power cord out of areas with busy foot traffic to ensure the safety of
users and the machine.
3. Keep children away from all power sources and power supply units. Children
should always be under adult supervision while using the machine. Youth under
120cm (roughly 4ft) in height should not operate this machine.
4. Regular maintenance should be performed on the machine to ensure that it is
clean, smooth, and debris-free (see section “Care and Maintenance”).
5. Do not use any sharp instruments on any part of the machine as it may cause
irreparable damage.
6. Remove and replace any piece or part that becomes damaged.
7. Turn off the game and have it inspected by an electrician or service technician
if it is operating abnormally.
8. Contact an electrician or service technician if your product experiences the
following:
Power Failure
Liquid or Objects Found Near/Inside Electronic Components
Abnormal Sounds Coming from the Cabinet
9. Use caution while transporting.
10. Do not use outdoors or in damp areas.

Care and Maintenance
1. Always connect the machine to a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Always turn OFF the power and unplug the power supply to the game before
opening or replacing any parts. When unplugging the machine from an
electrical outlet, grasp the plug, not the cord.
3. Caution: Always use digital multimeter, logic tester, or oscilloscope for testing
integrated circuits. Do not connect or disconnect any of the integrated circuits
while the machine is ON. Do not install any fuse that does not meet the
specified rating.
4. Use a soft cloth and product-specific polishing spray to clean the cabinet and
play surface. Household window cleaner may be used to clean the top of the
game (surface). Do not apply cleaner or any other liquid directly onto the
machine, instead, apply it to the cloth and then wipe the surface. We’ve found
that a microfiber cloth works great to remove dirt and fingerprints with ease.
5. Dust, grime, and other debris can collect inside the body of your table over
time. Vacuum out the inside cavity frequently. The easiest way to access the
inside of the table is to unlock both locks and lift the top of the cabinet like a
trunk. It should stay open once it has reached maximum height. Opening the
cabinet will also give you access to excess dust that may have built up inside
the machine over time. NEVER ATTEMPT to clean the cabinet while the game
is operating.
6. Clean any dirt or debris from the main PC Board with a soft brush or dry cloth.
NEVER USE WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS. Always be sure to turn off or
unplug the machine before opening the PC Board panel.
7. Periodically check the functionality of the coin mechanisms and empty coin
boxes.
8. If applicable, check the functionality of the ticket dispensers and restock.
9. Perform maintenance work in accordance with these instructions. Be sure to
always turn off the power before servicing the machine.
