IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Use only a GROUNDED AC receptacle. Failure to do so could result in improper
operation or damage to the game and could void your warranty. If you are unsure that your AC
receptacle is properly grounded, have a qualified electrician perform this check for you.
Ensure power to the game is turned off when performing even the slightest of routine
maintenance, otherwise, moving parts could activate unexpectedly, causing injury.
This product is heavy, necessitated by the design. We recommend at least two people
when moving or relocating the game. Use a suitable dolly or hand truck where practical. Use
back support when needed.
