Hi, I'm Kyle with Stern Pinball and today we are going to go over how to remove the boat and shark target assembly. To perform this service we will need to remove the glass from the pinball game. We will need to open the coin door. We'll want to unlatch the lock down bar from the cabinet using the two latches on either side of the coin door. Take the lock down bar and and set that aside. It's always a good idea to shut the coin door when you remove the glass so it doesn't come out and scratch on the edges. Once you get the glass out, make sure you put it down somewhere soft and gentle. Once the glass is removed, we have the coin door open, which puts the interlock switch in its powered off state, which removes 48 volts from the playfield so it is safe to reach inside. We want to remove the pinballs. The quick and easiest way to do this is to locate the ball serve plunger which is attached to the end of your ball trough where all the balls live. You can grab that plunger and push up on it and it will kick one pinball out. We'll want to repeat that five more times until all six balls are out. If you're going to just remove the boat target, you do need to lower the shark target down into its lowered position. To do that, we'll need to use the service menu. To lower the shark target, we need to have the interlock switch pulled into the service position. The playfield lights will come on. Enter the service menu by pressing the black button until John Youssi Go to Diagnostics Menu Hit the black button again scroll to the right using the right red button until you reach game specific tests then select shark motor test Once in this test, you can use the left red button to lower the shark target below the playfield. Once you've lowered the shark target below the playfield, press the interlock switch in to remove the 48 volts from your playfield. And to perform the service, we're going to want to have the playfield in service position. You'll grab it here in the middle of the apron, pull up, grab the service rails, pull it forward until it stops, and lift it up and against the head. With the playfield up, this gives us the ability to remove the wiring harnesses and auxiliary things around the boat and shark target assembly. They don't need to come out together. In this video, we're going to remove the boat and then we will remove the shark. To remove the boat assembly, we will need a quarter inch nut driver and a three-eighths inch nut driver. The boat target is affixed to the playfield with these two studs that have these nuts on the underside and a screw on top. The first step to remove the boat target is to unplug the wiring harness going to it, which is this one here. Depress on the locking ramp and pull them apart. We'll take our 3-8 inch nut driver and remove the nuts on these two studs here. Now we'll bring the playfield down into the playing position. Now that we removed the screw from the upper side of the playfield the easiest way to pop the assembly out is going to be also from the underside So we take the playfield and put it into the forward position which will allow us to reach the studs and push the assembly up to lift out We can reach our hand through the underside and find the studs that had the nuts on them that we removed prior, push up and that will allow us to fish the boat assembly out of the playfield. With the boat target out of the playfield this will allow us to service the electronics on the upper and lower side of the assembly. In this video we have removed the boat target from the playfield already, but as stated, the boat target does not need to come off before the shark target. They can both be removed from the playfield independently. To remove the shark target assembly from the playfield, we will need a quarter inch nut driver and a phillips head screwdriver. We're going to want to remove all of the wiring harnesses and associated connectors to the electronics on this assembly. We can remove the shark position sensor here. We can remove power from the shark motor here. We need to remove the shark insert LED here. Remember to push down on this locking tab and then separate. To remove this wiring harness though, it does pass through this P-strap here. We will need to separate this wire out of the wire dressing so it can separate from the playfield like that and then we will need to remove the shark hit switch harness on this side of the assembly. Now that we have all of the wiring harnesses disconnected from the shark target assembly we can put the playfield back down into the forward position to remove the phillips head screws on the top side of the playfield Once you have the plate off, make sure not to lose these leveling grommets that are underneath each of these screws. The other two were on the playfield. Now that we've removed the entrance plate from the playfield, we can lift the playfield back up into the service position and remove the five screws that hold the shark fin target assembly to the playfield. And now Bruce is free. While most service on this shark target assembly is easily done while still mounted to the playfield, removing it isn't too hard. Maybe it allows for better, easier cleaning of the shark itself or any other deeper maintenance that might be required. Just reverse the steps of disassembly to reassemble the shark target. The only thing to mention when reinstalling the boat assembly is to just make sure you have the wiring harness snaked through the playfield before you start trying to push it back down against the playfield. Thanks for watching another video from Stern Tech School. you
