How do I unbox and set up my arcade safely?

Arcades are heavy—please use caution and always have assistance when unpacking.

Your arcade ships with wheels locked and leg levelers down.

Raise the leg levelers before moving to avoid catching on the pallet.

Once your arcade is safely off the pallet, it can be moved into place using its wheels:

2-Player Versions – Equipped with two rear wheels and built-in back handles. Gently tilt the cabinet slightly back and roll to position.

Recharged Deluxe – Features four swivel caster wheels with rear locking. Easily maneuver into place, then lock the back wheels to secure.

Soda Slam Models – Equipped with eight swivel caster wheels for smooth placement. Lock wheels once positioned.

5. Extra Care for Deluxe & Pro+ Models

Deluxe and Pro+ versions include additional LEDs and wiring near the base.

While protected by metal brackets, please handle carefully to avoid pulling wires or damaging LED housings during unpacking and movement.

✅ Key Reminder: Never attempt to move or unbox the arcade alone. Use a team lift, proper lifting techniques, and the built-in wheels/handles to safely place your arcade.
