Chapter 01 – Preface

Please read this page before preparing your Blox Breaker Arcade product for game play.
The following safety instructions apply to all game operators and service personnel. Specific warnings and cautions will be included throughout this manual.
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect the system from potential damage and to ensure your personal safety:

• Electronic components in the game cabinet run on 110V AC 60Hz (220V/ 50Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East and the Far East delivered units).
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system into a properly grounded power source. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs. We do recommend a 15A rated current or higher power cord.
• To help protect your system from sudden increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
• Be sure nothing rests on the system’s cables and that the cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
• Keep your system far away from radiators and other heat sources.
• Do not block cooling vents.

Precaution for Game Operation
Adrenaline Amusements Inc. assumes no liability for injuries incurred while playing our games.
Operators should be aware that certain health and physical conditions may make people susceptible to injury when playing video games.
Safety
To avoid electrical shock, unplug the cabinet before performing installation or service procedures.
If a power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the equivalent power cord available from your distributor.
** Adrenaline Amusement Inc. assumes no liability for any damages or injuries incurred while setting up or servicing the cabinet. Only qualified service personnel should perform installation or service procedures.
Environmental Conditions
Cabinet is intended for indoor use only. Be sure to keep the cabinet dry and maintain operating temperatures of 59° – 86°F (15° – 30°C).
