Setup Instructions
At least two people are required to assemble the VXR Audio Stand. Some
subassemblies can weigh in excess of 50 pounds and the completed frame
system without isolation bases will weigh approximately 60 pounds per shelf
location. Always make sure you have the proper number of people to move the
frame system safely and easily.
The VXR Audio Stand consists of a frame structure and the isolation bases that
support each component. The total number of boxes depends on the capacity of
the system. The standard three and four shelf frame structures come in six and
seven boxes, respectively. Each box will be marked with the model number
starting with VXR. There should be two or more long wooden crates that contain
the vertical leg subassemblies and cardboard boxes that contain horizontal
crossmember subassemblies. The final small cardboard box contains the assembly
manual, feet, fasteners, and tools required for assembly of the frame system. The
only tool necessary for assembly that is not provided by HRS is a Philips head
screwdriver for unpacking the wooden crates (electric drive with PH2 bit
recommended).
Work Surface
- Prior to unpacking any material, locate a very strong and stable
work surface capable of supporting at least twice the weight of the completed
assembly or an area on the floor that will provide a soft, scratch-resistant
workspace at least three feet by six feet in size. The more space you have the
better, as it will give you room to move around the frame to complete assembly. It
is important that the area be free of all dirt, screws or small pebbles, and that it is
covered with a clean soft protective blanket (min size 24" x 45") that will prevent
damage to the cosmetic surfaces of the VXR frame parts.
Unpacking VXR Assembly Hardware
- Remove all the contents from the smaller
cardboard box containing the hardware required to assemble the frame. Place the
contents on a table near your selected work surface and remove all the wrapping
material. Be careful not to drop or allow the anodized aluminum parts to contact
each other as that may scratch the surface. Do not stack the parts on top of each
other once they are removed from the protective packaging material.
Unpacking VXR Vertical Leg Subassemblies
- Unpack two vertical leg
subassemblies by removing the top surface of the crate. This surface will be
marked for clarity and you will need a Philips head screwdriver (manual or
electric) to open the crate. Remove the legs from the crate by lifting vertically at
each end and move them directly to your prepared work surface with the bolt
plate and keyway facing up and flat black face on the work surface. If you are
building a frame system for more than one column of components, you will have
at least two vertical leg subassemblies with bolt plates on both sides. These
double-sided subassemblies can be placed with either face down, but be very
careful not to place the bolt plates on anything that may damage them. Saving all
