1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - Be sure to read these instructions to ensure safety -
WARNING
1-3 Top-priority safety precautions
zShould any abnormality occur, turn off the power switch immediately to stop oper-
ating the machine. Then, unplug the power cord plug from the AC outlet. Operating
the machine without correcting abnormalities can result in a re or accident.
zSome monitor sections remain hot or charged with high voltage even after the
power switch is turned off. Do not touch the monitor unnecessarily in order to pre-
vent electric shock and burns.
zDust accumulated on the power cord plug may cause a fire. Check the power cord
plug regularly and remove dust.
zInsert the power cord plug rmly into the AC outlet. Poor contact may cause over-
heating that can lead to a re or burns.
zA damaged power cord can cause a re, electric shock or electrical leakage. Ob-
serve the following cautions.
Keep the power cord away from heating devices.
Do not twist the power cord.
Do not bend the power cord forcibly.
Do not alter the power cord.
Do not bundle the power cord.
Do not pull the power cord. (Always unplug by holding the power cord plug,
and avoid pulling the power cord.)
Do not place anything on the power cord.
Do not get the power cord caught by the machine, other equipment or wall.
Do not do anything else that might damage the power cord.
zDo not wet the power cord or power cord plug with water. Water can cause an elec-
tric shock or electrical leakage.
zDo not touch the power cord plug with a wet hand. Doing so can result in an elec-
tric shock.
zThe machine’s rated supply voltage and maximum consumption current are
120 VAC and 12.5A (main unit: 120VAC and 5.8A ; Compressor Assy: 120 VAC
and 6.7A ), respectively. To prevent re and electric shock, be sure to use inte-
rior wiring that conforms to these power supply specications.
zOperate the machine with a power supply voltage in the range of 110 to １
130 VAC. Operating the machine with a supply voltage outside the specied
range may cause a re or electric shock. To ensure that the machine operates
in optimum condition, maintain the power supply at 120 VAC.
zUse consumables and service parts (including fasteners) specied by our com-
pany. To order parts, contact your distributor.
zDo not convert the machine without permission. Do not perform any work that is
not described in this operation manual. Unauthorized conversion of the machine
may create unforeseen hazards.
zWhen transferring the ownership of the machine, be sure to provide this operation
manual together with the game machine.
