Solution:
The 6 amp circuit breaker must be replaced with the 2 amp circuit
breaker in order to avoid a potential hazard. Distributors who received
games with serial numbers in the ranges listed above will receive
replacement 2 amp circuit breakers. Distributors should return the
original circuit breaker along with the serial number of the game it was
removed from to Merit Industries. If you have one of the games listed in
the serial number range, please contact your distributor for your
replacement circuit breaker.
Follow the instructions on the reverse side of this field bulletin to check
the rating of the circuit breaker and if necessary, to replace the circuit
breaker in the game.
If you have any questions, please contact Merit Customer Service and
Technical Support by phone at 215-639-4700 or 800-445-9353 or by
e-mail at TechCenter@meritind.com.

Circuit Breaker Installation Instructions
1. Turn off the game and disconnect it from its power source.
2. Unlock and open the rear door of the game.
3. Locate the circuit breaker connected to the inside of the power entry assembly. Check the color
of the label on the circuit breaker. If the label is blue, the circuit breaker is 2 amps. If the circuit
breaker label is white you will have to read the label to determine the rating of the circuit breaker.
If this cannot be seen with the circuit breaker still in the game, or if the circuit breaker is 6 amps,
follow the steps below to remove the circuit breaker.
4. Using a 9/16” socket wrench, unscrew the washer securing the circuit breaker on the outside of
the power entry assembly found in the rear of the game (see Figure 1).
5. Unplug the 2 connectors to the circuit breaker and remove the circuit breaker from the game.
6. The label on the circuit breaker will either have “2A” or a “6A” written on it. If the label is a 6A,
you must replace the circuit breaker with the supplied 2A circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker is
2A, it can be reinstalled in the game (see Figure 2).
7. Reconnect the 2 connectors to the 2A circuit breaker and replace the circuit breaker in the cutout
in the power entry assembly.
8. Secure the circuit breaker with the washer removed in step 4.
9. Close and lock the rear door.
10. Plug in the game and turn on the power.
