1.8 MAINTENANCE
REGULAR MAINTENANCE - EVERY MONTH, OR
EVERY 500 GAMES
Remove the playfield glass
Enter the software diagnostics menu, start lamp test, then
clean and wax the playfield.
While cleaning the playfield, identify and repair malfunctioning
lights, loose parts, cracked plastics and worn rubber parts.
While in diagnostics, enter the switch test (Select the "SW"
Icon, then "TEST" Icon).
Use a pinball to actuate all switches and verify the correct
switch registers with the switch test.
The game will play a sound to confirm the switch functional-
ity.
Lift the playfield and inspect all assemblies for loose parts,
broken wires or excessive wear. Look at the bottom of the
cabinet for any parts that may have worked loose, then find
the source.
Check all coin door mechanisms and bill acceptor (if installed)
for proper operation
Play a game or two to ensure all coils and features are work-
ing
Check the playfield to ensure it is level and set to the proper
pitch using the bubble level on the right side wood rail.
Check game audits: Replay % and Ball Time and note abnor-
mal values which can indicate problems.
Ensure game volume is set appropriately for the location.
Clean both sides of the playfield glass and reinstall.
Check and clean pinballs and replace if excessively worn or
scuffed. Dirty pinballs accelerate game wear.

ness (vertical or horizontal) or weakness indicates a flipper
rebuild is required.

and repair as necessary.
