2. Safety Information

• Heavy Object: The pool table is a heavy item. Always use appropriate lifting techniques and seek assistance when moving or assembling to prevent injury.
• Assembly: Ensure all components are securely fastened according to the assembly instructions. Loose parts can cause instability and potential hazards.
• Leveling: Properly level the table to prevent uneven play and potential tipping.
• Children: Keep children away from the table during assembly. Supervise children during play to prevent accidents.
• Electrical: If your coin mechanism or any other component requires electrical power, ensure it is connected to a grounded outlet and follow all electrical safety guidelines.

3. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Valley-Dynamo Dinamo Sedona 8' pool table is required. It is recommended that at least two adults perform the assembly due to the size and weight of the components.

3.1 Unboxing

• Carefully open the packaging and remove all components.
• Verify that all parts listed in the packing list are present and undamaged.
• Keep packaging materials until assembly is complete in case of returns or warranty claims.

3.2 Assembly Steps

Refer to the detailed assembly guide included with your product for step-by-step instructions. General steps include:

1. Attach the legs to the table cabinet.
2. Install the slate support system.
3. Position the slate onto the table frame.
4. Install the rails and pockets.
5. Connect the ball return system.
6. Install the coin mechanism (if applicable).

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Coin Mechanism

• Insert the required coin denomination into the coin slot.
• Push the coin slide completely in and then pull it out to release the balls.
• Ensure the coin mechanism is clear of obstructions before inserting coins.

4.2 Playing the Game

• Once balls are released, arrange them for the desired game (e.g., 8-ball, 9-ball).
• The magnetic cue ball separator ensures that only the cue ball is returned to the player, while pocketed object balls are directed to the internal ball return system.
• The 'dead spot' rails are designed to provide consistent and responsive ball action.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your pool table.

5.1 Cleaning

• Felt: Use a specialized pool table brush to gently brush the felt in one direction (from the head of the table to the foot) to remove chalk dust and debris. Avoid vacuuming the felt as it can damage the fibers.
• Cabinet and Rails: Wipe down the cabinet and rails with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Balls: Clean pool balls regularly with a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly.

5.2 Component Checks

• Leg Levelers: Periodically check and adjust the leg levelers to ensure the table remains level.
• Fasteners: Inspect all screws and bolts for tightness, especially after initial setup and heavy use. Tighten as necessary.
• Pockets: Ensure pocket liners are secure and free from tears. The push-lock pocket closures should be checked for proper function.
• Coin Mechanism: Regularly clear any debris or foreign objects from the coin slot and mechanism. Use the elongated clean-out door for internal access.

6. Troubleshooting

• Balls not releasing: Check if the correct coin denomination was inserted. Ensure the coin slide was fully pushed in and pulled out. Inspect the coin mechanism for jams or obstructions.
• Uneven play: Re-level the table using the leg levelers. Check for any loose components or damage to the slate or frame.
• Cue ball not separating: Verify that the cue ball is a regulation magnetic cue ball. Inspect the magnetic separator for obstructions or damage.
• Ball return issues: Check the ball return channels for any lodged balls or debris. Ensure the system is clear and unobstructed.
• Excessive noise: The table features a silent ball return system. If unusual noise occurs, inspect the ball return path for obstructions or loose components.
