2 Dealer4 Cleaning

hands during play. This dirt is transferred to the machine parts. When a machine is too dirty the dealing
process can be slowed down or will become impossible. Therefore regular cleaning is required for long
and reliable operation of the Dealer4. There are four parts that require cleaning which are described in
detail in the following paragraphs.
