Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Use a microfiber cloth to clean the playfield, cabinet, and glass. For a deeper clean, use a pinball-specific cleaner to remove dust and fingerprints without scratching the surface.
• Playfield Care: Clean the playfield regularly and apply a thin layer of pinball wax to reduce friction and protect the surface from wear. Ensure the playfield is clean before waxing to avoid trapping dirt.
• Ball Inspection: Check the pinball for any damage such as dents, chips, or rust. Replace damaged balls promptly to avoid damaging the playfield or other components.
• Test All Functions: Regularly test switches, ramps, motors, lights, and other moving parts to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Pay attention to the flippers and ball guides to ensure smooth gameplay.
• Lubrication: Lubricate moving parts, including flippers, ball guides, and rails, with a small amount of lubricant. This helps maintain smooth operation while preventing dust buildup.
• Dust Removal & Ventilation: Use compressed air to clear out dust from the interior, especially around circuit boards, wiring, and vents. This promotes better airflow and reduces the risk of overheating.
• Electrical Safety: Always plug the machine into a surge protector to protect it from power surges. Check the power cord and connectors for wear and replace any damaged parts immediately.
• Secure Loose Parts: Periodically check for loose screws, bolts, or other fasteners in the playfield, cabinet, and legs. Tighten any loose parts to maintain machine stability.
• Display Care: Clean the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the screen to prevent moisture damage.
