damage is apparent, you should 

not ify your retailer or 

consultant immediately. Retain 

the packaging in case a need 

arises for you to transport the 

speakers at a later date.

Under normal circumstances  

your speakers will be 

commissioned by your retailer 

or consultant, who will have 

been trained in their installat ion 

by KEF.

KEF strongly recommends that 

you do not at tempt to level 

your speakers single-handedly.

Recruit the assistance of 

another adult or consult an 

authorised

gently rocking it from side to 

side, front-to-back and

Of ten, you will f ind that the 

speaker is close to vert ical, but 

rocks because one spike (or two 

spikes diagonally) seems  

too short.

If the general stability is good, 

but the speaker is leaning to 

the lef t, right, backward or 

forward, then equal minor 

adjustments to the two spikes 

opposite to the direct ion of 

lean should be made.
