    Safety Notices
    The following safety instructions apply to all operators and service personnel. Specific warnings and cau-
    tions appear throughout this manual. Read this page before preparing your game for play.
    EPILEPSY WARNING
    A very small portion of the population has a condition which may cause them to experience epileptic seizures or have momentary 
    loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are present in our daily environment. These 
    persons may experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games. People who 
    have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.
    If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g., seizures or loss of awareness), 
    immediately consult your physician before using any video games.
    Parents should observe their children while they play video games. If you or your child experience the following symptoms: diz-
    ziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions, 
    DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician.
    CAUTION:  
    The hard disk drive must be packed in an anti-static bag and in an approved shipping 
    container (P/N 08-8068) in order to be sent in for repair or replacement. Do not stack or drop hard disk 
    drives during installation or removal.
    CAUTION. 
    Transport machine securely, as it contains glass and fragile electronic devices. Avoid 
    rough handling and never move cabinet while power is on.
    CAUTION.  
    Verify switch on the power supply is set for 110VAC or 220VAC according to local line 
    voltage. Verify fluorescent lamp is correct for local voltage.
    WARNING. 
    Avoid electrical shocks. Do not plug in line cord until machine has been inspected and 
    properly grounded. Use only a fixed-location grounded 3-wire outlet. Do not use a cheater plug or 
    cut off ground pin on line cord
    WARNING.  
    This video game machine has no isolation transformer. There is no isolation between the 
    internal cabinet AC system and the external AC line.
    WARNING.  
    To avoid electrical shock, turn off power switch and disconnect from AC power source 
    before removing or repairing any component. After servicing, ensure all ground wires are secure 
    before restoring power.
    NOTICE. 
    Ensure proper mating of all connectors. If a connector does not slip on easily, do not force. 
    Reversed connectors may damage your machine and void the warranty. Connectors are keyed to fit 
    specific pins on each board.
    WARNING. 
    To avoid electrical shock, all replacement fuses must match the type, voltage rating, and 
    current rating of the original fuse.
    WARNING. 
    A dropped fluorescent tube or CRT can break and explode, shattering glass eight feet or 
    more from the point of impact. Handle all glass parts carefully.

    MAINTENANCE
    Viewing Glass
    You need not switch off AC power to clean the glass. Apply a mild glass cleaner to a clean cloth or 
    sponge, then use this to wipe the viewing glass. Do not apply cleaner directly onto glass. Liquid could drip 
    down into video game machine circuits or onto detectors and cause erratic operation.
    Cabinet
    Use plastic-safe non-abrasive cleaners to avoid damage. Apply cleaner to clean cloth or sponge, then use 
    this to wipe the controls or cabinet. Do not apply cleaner directly on controls or cabinet.

    ance from walls, drapes, other games or obstructions.
    4. Lower each leg leveler until cabinet is stable and level. Adjust levelers to raise wheels up off floor and 
    distribute weight equally on each corner.

    secured. Do not force connectors, which are keyed to fit in only one location. Bent pins and reversed 
    connections may damage your game and void the warranty.
    12. Place one lockwasher and one flatwasher onto each bolt in spare parts bag. Align control section holes 
    with main cabinet holes. Install one bolt with its washers through control section and into each 
    threaded cabinet hole. Tighten all bolts securely.
    13. Place one cover cap washer onto each screw in spare parts bag.
    14. Locate wood filler panel inside control section. Reach inside coin door to retrieve.
    15. Place wood filler panel over bolt access opening in control section. Align wood filler panel holes with 
    control section holes. Install one screw with its washer through wood filler panel and into each control 
    section hole. Repeat installation for remaining wood filler panel, then tighten screws firmly. Snap dec-
    orative cover caps over screws.
    16. Locate line cord in spare parts. Match holes on IEC plug with prongs in receptacle and push firmly to 
    seat line cord. Route cord away from cabinet wheels and heavy foot-traffic areas.
    LINE CORD INTO POWER SUPPLY
