Game Cleaning and Maintenance 

As preventive maintenance to keep your Megatouch video games running at peak performance, it is 

important to clean your games on a regular basis. 

Cleaning the Fans and Vents:

  The fans and vents should be cleaned of any dust and grime on a 

regular basis to ensure proper ventilation of the game.  We recommend that you check the fans every 6 

weeks.  To ensure proper operation of the game, it is important that all fans are operating correctly and 

that the airflow is unobstructed.  Make sure nothing is placed inside the cabinet or next to the fan vents 

that would inhibit the flow of air.  Also, if any fans are not operating, it is important that they be replaced.  

Checking the Fan Speed:

  It is also important to check the CPU fan speed of your Megatouch at regular 

intervals. Do so by going into operator setup, pressing 

Diagnostics

, then pressing 

System Info

. The 

CPU fan speed will be displayed on the following page.  If the fan speed is below 3500 RPM it is 

recommended that the CPU fan be replaced.  If it below 3000 RPM it is recommended that the CPU fan 

be replaced immediately.  Additionally, a physical check of all fans is highly suggested, especially if there 

are any unusual noises coming from a fan. 

Cleaning the Cabinet:

  The cabinet should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent.  Always 

apply the cleaner to the cloth and not directly on the game.  Liquids could enter the cabinet and damage 

electronics inside. 

Cleaning the Joystick:

  The joystick should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent.  Always 

apply the cleaner to the cloth and not directly on the game.  Liquids could enter the housing and damage 

electronics inside. 

Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor:

 ·The touchscreen glass should be cleaned with a damp cloth and 

isopropyl alcohol or a non-ammonia cleanser. Do not use any abrasive or vinegar-based cleansers, as 

they will damage the touchscreen glass. 

NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE SOLVENTS, ACID OR VINEGAR-BASED CLEANSERS ON THE 

MONITOR OR SIDE DECALS.  OVER TIME, SUCH CLEANSERS COULD HARM THE TOUCHSCREEN 

AND ERASE THE DECALS.  BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE COMMERCIAL CLEANERS CONTAINING 

ANY OF THESE SUBSTANCES.
