Safety
Operation
Before operating game, read this manual. Failure to properly install and operate this game could result in
malfunction or accident. Operate the game in accordance with the manual.
Transporting
The cabinet is very heavy. Because the monitor is high, the cabinet is also very top-heavy. Use appropriate
care when moving or transporting cabinet. It contains fragile glass and electronic components. Avoid rough
handling.
Handling Components
Many components are extremely sensitive to handling, environmental and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
events—especially the computer. Do not handle it roughly. Before servicing, call your distributor and inquire
about the PC warranty. Use proper ESD procedures when servicing. Protect components from harmful
environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, excessive moisture or other damaging effects.
Disconnect power
Always turn the power off and unplug the unit before servicing or making adjustments unless otherwise
instructed. Installing or repairing components while power is on can damage the components and void the
warranty.
Grounding
Avoid electrical shock. Do not plug in AC power until you have inspected and properly grounded the unit.
Only plug into a grounded, three-wire outlet. Do not use a “cheater” plug or cut off the ground pin on the line
cord.
Electrical Shocks
There is no isolation transformer in the cabinet. Disconnect AC power before servicing. However, be aware
that lethal voltages can remain in the electronic components even when AC power is disconnected. Use
extreme caution when servicing. Verify that there is a working ground connection. If the unit sustains water
damage, cease using it immediately and unplug AC power.
Power Cord
If the power cord is damaged or lost, replace it with an identical cord as supplied by the manufacturer or an
authorized service agent.
Surge Suppressor
It is recommended that you plug your game’s power cord into a surge suppressor to help protect from power
surges that may damage sensitive electronic components.
Water and Other Liquid Sources
Do not install game near sprinkler or other water jet sources. Do not use water jet to clean game. Keep
minimum clearance behind game and wall for proper ventilation but also prevent access of liquid from spills
and sprays from entering ventilation holes.

Connectors
When servicing machine, ensure all connectors mate properly. If connectors do notslip in easily,donot force
them. Connectors are often keyed and only connect one way. Check for correct orientation.
Computer
The computer contains sensitive components, including a hard drive. Donot handle itroughly. Call your
distributor before servicing its internal components. Ask about warranty information as it relates to the PC.
Do not turn thePCpower switch onoroff.Itshould remain permanently inthe ON position.
Cycle AC power onoroff with the cabinet power switch.
Adongle has been inserted into one oftheUSB ports. This is required for game play.
Do not remove thedongle except for troubleshooting purposes.
Hazard to Epileptics
Asmall portion ofthepopulation has an epileptic condition that may cause seizures. Affected persons
experience seizure while watching some television pictures orplaying certain video games. People who have
not had seizures may still have an undetected epileptic condition. If anyone in your family has experienced
epilepsy symptoms (seizures orloss of awareness), consult your physical before using video games. While
children play video games, a parent should observe. Bealert tothefollowing symptoms: dizziness, altered
vision, eye ormuscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation orconvulsions. If
you oryour child experiences these symptoms, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician.
