damage. Damaged cords and wires can cause an electric shock or short
circuit.
To avoid causing a fire or an electric shock, do not put things on or
damage the power cords.

recommended. Using a Multi Tester or General Purpose Tester may result in
damage to IC Circuits.
Static electricity from your body may damage some electronics devices
on the IC board. Before handling the IC board, touch a grounded metallic
surface so that the static electricity can be discharged.
This video gaming cabinet utilises a motorised steering feedback system.
Do not attempt to service this part or any other part in close proximity to the
steering mechanism whilst power is applied.
Some parts are not designed and manufactured specifically for this game
machine. The manufacturers may discontinue, or change the specications of
such general-purpose parts. If this is the case, SEGA cannot repair or replace
a failed game machine whether or not a warranty period has expired.

nance, be very careful of the warning displays. It is especially important that any complex repair and replacement
work not mentioned herein should be performed by those technical personnel who have knowledge of electricity and
technical expertise.
In order to prevent accidents, caution any customer ignoring the warnings to cease and desist immediately.
