The Hobbit Smaug Assembly
Removing the Smaug Assembly
Tools Required:
Wire cutters
#2 Phillips screwdriver
1)
Remove the playfield glass, raise the playfield and lean it against the backbox as shown in figure E1; locate the
hole circled in the illustration. Unplug the ethernet cable from the underside of the Smaug Controller PCB. Un-
plug the two inline connectors for the Smaug Assembly from the main wiring harness, under the playfield:
6-pin, GRN-ORN/WHT-ORN/WHT-GRN/BLK/RED wires
6-pin, BLK/YEL/GRN/RED/WHT/BLU wires
Use wire cutters to carefully cut any nylon ties holding cables/wires still attached to the Smaug Assembly.
2)
Using the #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws holding the Smaug Assembly in place. CAUTION: As
you remove the last screw, reach around the edge of the playfield with one hand to support the Smaug Assembly
on the playfield surface. When all three mounting screws are out, the entire assembly will be free.
Slowly - and carefully - move the Smaug Assembly away from the playfield surface, ensuring that all cables, con-
nectors and wiring remain free during the process.
Place the Smaug Assembly on a flat surface. The assembly will rest in the upright position, using the bottom of the
stepper motor as its base.
To reinstall the Smaug assembly, perform the steps above, in reverse order.

completely removed from the game (not in the shooter lane, sub-
way or either of the VUK holes). Power down the game.
