High voltages may
exist in any televi-
sion or monitor, even
with
power discon-
nected.
Use extreme
caution
and do not
touch
electrical parts of the yoke area
with
your hands or with metal objects in
your hands!
Implosion Hazard
If you
drop the monitor and the
picture

breaks,
it will implode!
Shattered
glass and
the yoke can fly
6
feet
or more
from the
implosion. Use care
when re-
placing any monitor.
To

from its
wall
out-
let!
Unlock and
open the rear

Remove the
glass monitor
shield.
Carefully
re-
move the four

bezel. As an
extra
precaution, we
highly
recommend
you discharge
the high

at the rear
opening
of the
game, locate
the 2-pin

the bottom
rear of
the monitor
chassis is
a
wood screw
that
secures rear part

sis.

From the front of
the cabinet,
locate the
flat
washers,
and self-locking hex

This hardware
attaches the
monitor
to
the cabinet.
