Super Sprint
Cleaning the Coin Mechanism
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dust or foreign
material from the coin mechanism. A toothbrush can be
used to remove any stubborn build-up of residue in the
coin path. After cleaning the coin mechanism, blow out
all of the dust with compressed air.
Cleaning the Interior
Components
Perform the following procedure to clean the compo¬
nents inside the cabinet.
1. Unlock and remove the lower access panel.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft long-bristled brush
attachment or a soft-bristled paint brush to remove
loose dirt and dust accumulated on the inside of the
cabinet. Be sure to clean the electrical components
thoroughly (power supplies, PCB assemblies, display,
etc.).
-CAUTION-
Be extremely careful when cleaning the elec¬
trical components inside the cabinet. Avoid
touching the electrical components with any
solid object other than the soft bristles of the
vacuum attachment or paint brush.
Steering Wheel Controls
Preventive maintenance on the steering wheel controls
consists of inspecting the steering wheel housing for ex¬
cessive wear or dirt, inspecting the Coupler PCB Assem¬
bly for damage, lubricating the friction-producing sur¬
faces of both white bearings, and, if necessary, replacing
or tightening the securing hardware.
Lubricating the Steering Wheel Controls
Perform the following procedure to lubricate and tighten
the steering wheel controls. (See Figure 4-2.)
1. Open the control panel as previously described.
2. Apply a film of light oil (Atari part no. 107013-001) to
the lubrication points shown in Figure 4-2.
3. Using a 5/1 6 -inch nut driver (or an appropriate tool),
tighten the screws holding the steering wheel assem¬
bly to the control panel.
-A-WARNING-A-
Turn off the game power, but do not unplug
the power cord before cleaning inside the cab¬
inet. The power cord provides a ground path
for stray static voltages that may be present on
the cleaning tools.
Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance consists of removing, disassem¬
bling, reassembling, and replacing the pushbutton leaf
switches, steering wheel controls, game printed-circuit
boards (PCBs), video display, foot pedal controls, and
speakers.
Removing the Pushbutton Leaf
Switches
Perform the following procedure to remove/replace the
pushbutton leaf switches or contacts. (See Figure 4-1.)
1. Open the control panel as described in steps 1 through
3 under Opening the Control Panel and Removing the
Speakers.
2. Using a 15/l6-inch wrench, remove the stamped nut
on the underside of the control panel. The button as¬
sembly on the outside of the control panel should not
turn. (See Figure 4-1.)
3. Install the pushbutton switch in the reverse order of
removal. Reconnect the harness wires to the switch
terminals as shown in Figure 4-1.
Removing the Steering Wheel
Perform the following procedure to remove/replace the
steering wheel. (See Figure 4-1.)
1. Open the control panel as described under Preventive
Maintenance.
2. Disconnect the harness connectors from the coupler
PCB connector.
3. Using a 5/16-inch nut driver, remove the six screws
holding the steering wheel assembly to the control
panel.
4. Lift the steering wheel assembly out of the control
panel.
5. Replace the steering wheel in the reverse order of re¬
moval. Reconnect the harness connectors to the cou¬
pler PCB connector.
Disassembling the Steering
Wheel
Perform the following procedure to disassemble the
steering wheel assembly. (See Figure 4-2.)
