!! IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE STARTING !!

Replacing the halo is one of the most difficult part replacements on this machine and should only
be attempted by a qualified service professional.

During this process you’ll remove many screws from the system. These screws can differ slightly
from model to model, so while performing this procedure, be CERTAIN to mark any and all screws
as you remove them. There are no screws provided with the Halo Replacement Kit, so you’ll need to
reuse every screw that you remove from the system when installing the new halo.

Loosen the Joystick Assembly

5. Rest the game facedown to access the base. Protect and stabilize the front casing and monitor by

prepping the area with cardboard, foam, etc. Remove the two larger screws (one on each side) that are
securing the joystick assembly to the base (see Figure 3).

6. Carefully upright the game and pull the joystick assembly from the unit. There is no need to remove any

of the connections to the underside of the joystick, just let the assembly hang loose for now.
