Tips for QuadAir Maintenance
It is highly recommend that all QuadAir playfields are polished weekly and more frequently
during times of high use to keep them both shiny, and smooth.
It is beneficial to use a fine grit sandpaper to smooth the surface of the pucks to keep them
gliding smoothly whenever needed.
Ensure the felts on the base of the mallets are clean and firmly attached to prevent scuffs on the
playfield surface.
Vacuum the inside cavity and blower intake of your air hockey table.
o
Dust, grime, and other debris can collect inside the body of your table over time. Please
give special attention to the gear in the goal assembly. This may become jammed over
time. *Please see "removing rails" below.
o
The easiest way to access the inside of the table is through the puck drop chute doors
and the blower compartment door located under the table.
Rail Removal:
Locate the seam in the black rubber rail trim which lines the top of the QuadAir table
Use a flathead screwdriver or blunt object to pry the end up, and gently pull the rubber rail trim
from the top of the table. *Caution* This rubber can stretch. *More information on this in
during "rail installation".
The rail screws will be exposed once the rubber rail trim is removed.
You will have access to the goal assemblies once the rail screws and rails are removed from the
table surface.
Goal Assembly troubleshooting:
If the metal puck blocker is "shuttering" or "jumping" up and down:
Turn the game off!
This issue is caused by micro switches that are not being fully engaged. There are two ways to solve this
problem.
The quick way:
Open the puck chute door to view the goal assembly from the bottom side. Make sure that the peg that
is attached to the puck blocker makes firm contact with the micro switch actuator arm. The actuator
arm must be adjusted if the peg does not make firm contact. The arms must be bent in the direction
that the micro switch faces. The one towards the top of the goal must be bent up, the one on the
bottom of the goal must be bent down.
