Quoted from koops:Its quite easy.
#1 Remove the right side jabba plastic. Its just 2 screws. This is preventative and may not be necessary but you can check this later. Better to remove it now than have it break later!
#2 Grab the playfield by the middle of the apron/arch (Data east symbol). Lift if directly up. Don't pull the playfield towards you if you want to have it in the upright position.

While lifting you might hear plastic scratching. This is just the rear of the playfield on the cable wrap.

Continue lifting the playfield towards the head. Do your best to not rotate the playfield to any particular side. This cabinet doesn't have hooks on the playfield rails that stop it from moving.
Once the end of the play field is at around chest height you might instinctively grab it by the two metal support posts. DON'T! Data east's have terrible stock supports until you get used to how well they are attached don't use them right now.
Lift playfield the remainder of the way to vertical using the edge of the play field near the apron/sides.

You should now be able to walk to the left side of the cabinet.
Look to the bottom of the cabinet. There should be an orange sticker. Just near it will be a rubber stretch cable around 3" long attached to the bottom of the cabinet.

With your right hand grab it and pull towards the bottom of the playfield. Doing this will give you a clue as to where to hook it. You should find an eyelet on the underside of the cabinet that you can hook it to. It may be hidden by some of the wiring.

Pull the rubber and you should be able to get it to hook on easily.

Your playfield is now safe to work on.

Now its up you can check the supports and how well they are attached. Also have a look at the inside rails so you can understand how and why you need to be careful when lifting.

Double check your jabba clearance with the head. Does the plastic touch? If you you'll need to remove it or risk accidental bending it each time.
jabba clearance
Mine touches as my plastic goes higher than the wooden support behind it (which just clears in the photo above). The issue is that the playfield will still move while its hooked. It is only a rubber strap
