MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Back to TOC
Maintenance:
Due to the design of the machine, very little periodic maintenance is required.
Start the game and verify the correct operation before putting the game into everyday operations.
Clean the surface of the game as needed.
After about a month of game operation, check to be sure all parts are secure and in proper working
order.
1. Remove power before servicing game.
To avoid a short circuit, the power must be removed before touching the inside of the game.
2. Choose the appropriate replacement parts.
Using the wrong parts could lead to malfunction or damage to the game and components.
3. Do not substitute or change equipment, without authorization.
Doing so could lead to a short circuit and machine malfunction, or fire.
4. Do not put containers of water, cups or soda cans on the machine. In addition, chemicals
or heavy items should not be allowed around the game.
The spill could cause a short circuit. Falling items could injure people or destroy the machine.
Cleaning:
CLEANING - Clean the outer surfaces of the game with a commercial spray type cleaner. DO NOT
however, use glass cleaner or commercial sprays on the marquee graphic panel. Use a good quality
spray type furniture polish to keep the game looking good.
Vacuum the inside of the game occasionally to help keep the dust and ticket debris off of all the
optical sensors.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Back to TOC
TROUBLESHOOTING PHILOSOPHY
When troubleshooting any product, certain general guidelines should be followed.
1. Always check to be sure that your game is turned on. Be sure that all of the fuses in the game are
functional and check to see that the AC voltage is in the proper operating range for your game.
2. Check to be sure that all of the game harnessing is plugged in properly and that all of the pins are
firmly seated in the connectors. It is always possible that a harness can be damaged by rough
shipping or moving.
3. Check game harnessing to be sure that none of the wires have become or are damaged. Using a
handheld multi-meter, check continuity of the wires to make sure they are not broken.
4. Check for obvious damage to the P.C. Boards or electrical components.
5. If you have multiple games or multiple parts on a game, change or exchange the parts and see if
the problem goes away or moves to another location. This way you can quickly eliminate certain parts
as being the problem with the game.
6. When changing electronic or electrical components, ALWAYS disconnect power by unplugging the
game.
7. Test power supplies for the specified voltages to the P.C. Boards and components as shown in the
manual.
For your safety, and to reduce risk of damage to your game read the Important Safety
Information on page 5 before attempting any troubleshooting procedure.
