PID Maintenance Intervals

To prevent unwanted malfunction on your gaming device, it is recommended that preventive


service interventions are periodical. To ensure optimum performance and long life of your gaming
device, service interventions should be carried out by the manufacturer certified personnel.

The following center unit maintenance operations should be performed regularly:

Weekly maintenance:
• Clean the outer surface of PID.

Monthly maintenance:
• Restart the computer on PID.
• Check the cooling fans (done by an authorized technician).

Yearly maintenance:
• Fan replacement.
• Electrical components check and cleaning.
• PC maintenance (cleaning, contact cleaning,…).
• Power supply check.

CAUTION! The gaming device must be shut down before


any replacing parts or servicing activity inside the device is
performed.

WARNING! Prior to bigger maintenance operations, disconnect


the gaming device from mains supply.
