Indicates "HANDLE WITH CARE." In order to protect the human body and
equipment, this display is attached to places where the Owner's Manual, Serviceman
Manual and/or Service Manual should be referred to.
Indicates a "Protective Earth Terminal." Before operating the equipment, be sure to
connect it to the Ground.
(The step may be omitted for products in which a power cord with earth is used.)
❍Perform work in accordance with the instructions herein stated.
Instructions for work are explained by paying attention to the aspect of accident prevention.
Failing to perform work as per the instructions can cause accidents. In the case where only
those who have technical expertise should perform the work to avoid hazardous situation, the
instructions herein state that the site maintenance personnel should perform such work.
❍Be sure to turn off the power before working on the machine.
To prevent an electric shock, be sure to turn off the power before carrying out any work that
requires direct contact with the interior of the product. If the work is to be performed in the
power-on status, the Instruction Manual herein always states to that effect.
❍Be sure to ground the Earth Terminal.
(This is not required in the case where a power cord with earth is used.)
This product is equipped with the Earth Terminal. When installing the product, connect the
Earth Terminal to the "accurately grounded indoor earth terminal" by using an earth wire.
Unless the product is grounded appropriately, the user can be subject to an electric shock.
After performing repair, etc. for the control equipment, ensure that the Earth Wire is firmly
connected to the control equipment.
❍Ensure that the Power Supply used is equipped with an Earth Leakage Breaker.
This product does not incorporate the Earth Leakage Breaker. Using a power supply which is
not equipped with the Earth Leakage Breaker can cause a fire when earth leakage occurs.
❍Be sure to use fuses which meet the specified rating.
(Only for the machines which use fuses.)
Using fuses exceeding the specified rating can cause a fire and an electric shock.

❍Specification changes (removal of equipment, conversion and addition) not
designated by SEGA are not allowed.
The parts of the product include warning labels for safety, covers for personal protection, etc.
It is very hazardous to operate the product by removing parts and/or modifying the circuits.
Should doors, lids and protective parts be damaged or lost, refrain from operating the product,
and contact where the product was purchased from or the office herein stated.
SEGA shall not be held responsible for any accidents, compensation for damage to a third
party, resulting from the specifications not designated by SEGA.
❍Ensure that the product meets the requirements of appropriate Electrical
Specifications.
Before installing the product, check for Electrical Specifications. SEGA products have a
nameplate on which Electrical Specifications are described. Ensure that the product is
compatible with the power supply voltage and frequency requirements of the location. Using
any Electrical Specifications different from the designated Specifications can cause a fire and
an electric shock.
❍Install and operate the product in places where appropriate lighting is
available, allowing warning labels to be clearly read.
To ensure safety for the customers, labels and printed instructions describing potentially

peeled off, apply it again immediately. Please place an order with where the product was
purchased from or the office herein stated.
❍When handling the monitor, be very careful.
(Applies only to the product with a monitor.)
Some of the monitor (TV) parts are subject to high tension voltage. Even after turning off the
power, some portions are still subject to high tension voltage sometimes. Monitor repair and
replacement should be performed only by those technical personnel who have knowledge of
electricity and technical expertise.
❍Be sure to adjust the monitor/projector properly.
(Applies only to the product with a monitor/projector.)

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS1
When installing or inspecting the machine, be very careful of the following points and pay attention to ensure that
the player can enjoy the game safely.
Non-compliance with the following points or inappropriate handling running counter to the cautionary matters
herein stated can cause personal injury or damage to the machine.
• Before performing work, be sure to turn the power off and unplug the electrical
cord from the outlet. Performing the work without turning the power off can
cause an electric shock or short circuit. In the case work should be performed
in the status of power on, this manual always states to that effect.
• To avoid an electric shock or short circuit, do not plug in or unplug quickly.
• To avoid an electric shock, do not plug in or unplug with a wet hand.
• Do not expose power cords or earth wires on the surface, (floor, passage, etc.).
If exposed, the power cords and earth wires are susceptible to 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.
• When or after installing the product, do not unnecessarily pull the power cord. If
damaged, the power cord can cause a fire or an electric shock.
• In case the power cord is damaged, ask for a replacement through where the
product was purchased from or the office herein stated. Using the cord as is
damaged can cause fire, an electric shock or leakage.
• Be sure to perform grounding appropriately. Inappropriate grounding can cause
an electric shock.
• Be sure to use fuses meeting the specified rating. Using fuses exceeding the
specified rating can cause a fire or an electric shock.
• Completely make connector connections for IC BD and others. Insufficient
insertion can cause an electric shock.
• Specification changes, removal of equipment, conversion and/or addition, not
designated by SEGA are not permitted.
- Failure to observe this may cause a fire or an electric shock. Non-compliance
with this instruction can have a bad influence upon physical conditions of the
players or the onlookers, or result in injury during play.
- SEGA shall not be held responsible for damage, compensation for damage to
a third party, caused by specification changes not designated by SEGA.
• Be sure to perform periodic maintenance inspections herein stated.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONSAS
• For the IC board circuit inspections, only the logic tester is allowed. The use of a
multiple-purpose tester is not permitted, so be careful in this regard.
• 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.
• Some parts are the ones designed and manufactured not specifically for
this game machine. The manufacturers may discontinue, or change the
specifications 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.
• This game machine can be installed at a storefront but could tip over due to
sudden strong drafts or building winds. It could also tip over from man-made
loads. If the game machine does fall down, a serious accident could result. To
prevent the machine from falling down, carry out the following procedures and
make every effort to operate the machine safely.
- Never place the product at a site that is inclined or has level differences.
If there are inclines or level differences, make sure the site is level before
placing the machine on it.
- Do not add decorations to the product that will cause its center of gravity to
be elevated. Also, be aware that there are cases in which it is illegal to add
electrical units to the product interior.
- Make sure that the adjusters are always in contact with the floor.
- Use rope, chain, and/or fixtures for securing furniture to secure the product so
that it will not fall down in an earthquake.
