Installation Manual
Top Lid Removal and Installation
Re-installation Procedure
1. Ensure that the two M3 x 10 mm screws on the straight edge of
the lid are present and backed out a tad until the front edge of
the screws are flush with the threads in the lid. If you have lost
them (tut-tut), then use only M3 x 10 mm screws and no longer
than that.
2. Align the wavy edge of the lid along the heatsink fins, and lower
the straight edge of the lid to 2” above the surface of the amplifi-
er.
3. Slide the lid towards the connectors, engaging the top two
points of contact under the wavy edge of the lid.
4. Lower the lid flat onto the surface of the amplifier.
5. Secure the two M3 x 10 mm screws near the connectors using
the 2.5 mm hex key*
* If your school metalwork teacher was a 6’5” rugged giant of a man, an ex-Royal Marine Com-
mando called Tiny, and he insisted that these be called hexagonal wrenches and not hex keys or
Allen Keys, then so be it.
The top lid must be removed to gain access to the controls, and then
put back on again to protect the controls from dust bunnies, food
crumbs, and other dirt and grime.
Removal Procedure
1. Locate the two M3 x 10 mm screws that hold the straight edge
of the lid onto the connector side of the amplifier.
2. Use the supplied 2.5 mm hex key to loosen both screws just
enough until this edge of the lid can lift freely up just a little.
(There is no need to remove the screws all the way, in case you
lose them.)
3. Slide the lid toward the heatsink fins just a tad, before further
lifting the straight edge of the lid about 2”, then disengage the
remaining two points of contact (under the wavy edge).
4. Place the lid in a safe and handy place, ready for the time when
you have finished adjusting the controls to your immense satis-
faction.
