MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Regular maintenance is essential to a game's continuing contribution to the operator's earnings.
LUBRICATION
The two main lubrication points of the Ball Shooter Lane Feeder mechanism are the pivots for the
arm.
Note that the mechanism of other playfield devices are somewhat similar to the Ball
Shooter Lane Feeder Device; and have the same lubrication requirements as the Ball Shooter Lane
Feeder Device. A switch target grease is satisfactory for these devices.
Because of the functional design (arm-actuated via solenoid plunger operation), the pivot points of
the Left and Right Kickers ("Slingshots") all require lubrication as a regular servicing procedure.
Lubrication to ensure proper operation also applies to the target blades of the Drop Targets. MBI
Instrument Grease, also known as Drop Target Switch Lubricant, with a Williams' part number of
20-8886, is a recommended lubricant.
SWITCH CONTACTS
For proper game operation, switch contacts should be free of dust, dirt, contamination,
and
corrosion. Blade switch contacts are plated to resist corrosion. Cleaning blade switch contacts
requires gentle dosing of the contacts on a clean business card or piece of paper, and then pulling
the paper about
2
inches, which should restore the dean contact surface. Adjust the switch contacts
to a 1/ 16-inch gap.
CLEANING
Good game action and extended playfield life are the results of regular playfield cleaning.
During each collection stop, the playfield glass should be removed and thoroughly cleaned and the
playfield should be wiped off with a clean, lint-free cloth. The game balls should be cleaned and
inspected for any chips, nicks, or pits. Replace any damaged balls to prevent playfield damage.
Regular, more extensive, playfield cleaning is recommended.
However, avoid excessive use of
water and caustic or abrasive cleaners because they tend to damage the playfield surface.
Playfield wax (or any carnauba based wax), or polish may be used sparingly, to prevent a buildup
on the playfield surface. Do not use cleaners containing petroleum distillates on any playfield
plastics because they may dissolve the plastic material or damage the artwork.
