MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Figure 4 shows the two main lubrication points of the Shooter Lane Feeder. The shaded arrows show
the directions in which the Shooter Lane Feeder and other parts of its related assemblies can be
adjusted for proper operation. Note that the mechanisms of the Eject Hole Arm Assembly is quite
similar to the Shooter Lane Feeder; it has the same lubrication requirements and adjustment
capabilities as the Shooter Lane Feeder.

Figure 4. Adjustments and Lubrication Points, Shooter Lane Feeder.
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.
Mechanical adjustments are simple and somewhat similar to the Shooter Lane Feeder. These
mechanisms should also be checked for proper fit (snugly tight) where they attach to the playfield.
Lubrication to ensure proper operation also applies to the target blades of the 3-Bank Drop Target.
Regular maintenance is essential to a game's continuing contribution to the operator's earnings.
SHAKER MOTOR SERVICING
Periodic checking of the Shaker motor brushes is recommended to keep this unique feature
functioning properly. When intermittent operation or diminished shaking is apparent, it is suggested
that examination of the brush assembly on either side of the motor may indicate a need for brush
replacement (whenever it lacks sufficient length for the spring to press it against the commutator).
(Refer to the Game Parts Information of Section 2 to obtain the part number of this replaceable part.)
Switch off and unplug the game to avoid harm during the replacement process. Remove the Shaker
Motor hood and gently pry the Brush Assembly from the side of the motor. Unsolder the wire from the
Brush Assembly. Solder the wire to the new Brush Assembly and reinstall it in the motor. Remember
to reinstall the Shaker Motor hood as part of completing the replacement process.
