Super Sprint
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance includes cleaning, lubricating,
and tightening hardware. How often preventive mainte¬
nance is performed depends upon the game environment
and frequency of play. However, for those components
listed in Table 4-1 Preventive-Maintenance Intervals, we
recommend that preventive maintenance be performed
at the intervals specified.
Preventive-Maintenance
Intervals
3. Grasp two steering wheels located on the top of the
control panel, and gently tilt the control panel up to¬
ward you. Check that the control panel is held se¬
curely to the front edge of the cabinet by the hinges
mounted under the front edge of the panel.
4. If you need to remove the control panel, disconnect
the control panel harness from the cabinet control
harness assembly located inside the coin door area.
5. Remove the three screws and washers from each of
the two hinges holding the control panel to the
cabinet.
The preventive-maintenance intervals specified in Table
4-1 are the recommended minimum requirements for the
components listed.
-A-WARNING-A--
To avoid possible electrical shock, turn off the
game before performing any maintenance
procedures.
The 5-volt switching power supply for this
game may not have a shield. This power sup¬
ply has high voltages on it when power is
turned on. Therefore, be sure you do not
touch this power supply unless you have
turned off the power to the game.
Opening the Control Panel and
Removing the Speakers
Perform the following procedure to remove/replace the
control panel. (See Figure 4-1.)
1. Unlock and open the coin door.
2. Carefully reach up through the coin door opening,
and release the two spring-draw latches located un¬
der the control panel on each side of the cabinet,
Then remove the two wing nuts and washers from
the securing bracket on the underside of the control
panel.

Coin Mechanism
Inspect weekly, lubricate, and tighten
hardware at least every three months.
Lubricate, and tighten hardware at
least every three months.
Inspect and dean (if required) when¬
ever you collect coins. Because there
is only one mechanism per player, the
mechanisms need to be cleaned more
often than those in other games.
6. Carefully lift the control panel from the cabinet.
7. Using a 1/8-inch hex driver, remove the six screws
on the front of the speaker grille.
8. Lift the speaker grille from the cabinet.
- CAUTION-
Do not touch the speaker cones when han¬
dling the speakers. The cone material is fragile
and can be easily damaged.
9- Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws
holding the speaker to the cabinet. Do not let the
speaker fall.
10. Lower the speaker just far enough to disconnect the
two speaker wires.
11. Replace the speaker in the reverse order of removal.
Ensure that the speakers are properly phased by plac¬
ing the same color-coded connector on the same tab
on each speaker.
12. Replace the control panel in the reverse order of
removal.
Cleaning the Pushbutton Leaf
Switches
Perform the following procedure to clean the leaf switch
contacts and tighten the securing hardware.
1. Follow the procedure described in steps 1 -3 above for
removing the control panel.
2. Use electrical contact cleaner to clean the contacts. Do
not burnish them. When the pushbutton is pressed,
the wiping action of the cross-bar contacts provides a
self-cleaning feature. Then use the Self-Test to verify
proper switch contact. (See Figure 1-3.)
3. Using a 15/16-inch open-end wrench, tighten the
stamped nut securing the pushbutton leaf switches to
the control panel.
