As mentioned above, be careful with the ramp and shuttle toy when you lift the front end up -- they can bind with the cabinet and could crack/break -- be sure to slide it out toward the front a little before you lift it.

I'm not a fan of the prop in this game; the PF is heavy so it tends to twist a lot. As such, I either lift it all the way up to service position (also described above) or sometimes use a more stable piece of wood (e.g., a 1x2 that's a few feet long) to prop it up more centered & more securely.

Congrats on your first machine. You're likely to get many more....it just happens
