Unpacking 

Care  must  be  taken  at  all  times  when  handling  the  PLW-15  due  to  the  extreme  weight  of  the  product.  We 
recommend a two-person lift wherever appropriate. 

The feet/spike assemblies and mains power cord/s are contained within the packaging and should be removed.

To remove the PLW-15 from its carton, place some protective material on the floor and having removed any items of packing 
from the top of the pack carefully invert the carton. (Also see icons on the carton). Gradually pull the carton upwards to 
expose the subwoofer, which will be presented with its base uppermost. Remove fixing tape from the bag and expose the 
base of  the cabinet to allow fitting of the spiked feet into the M10 threaded inserts as described below.

Spiked Foot Fixing For Carpeted Floors 

The spiked foot assembly incorporates a spike for use on carpeted floors and also, a soft polymer pad (for use on 
wooden or tiled floors).  

Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet, or trailing mains leads that could be damaged by the spikes.

The  foot  comes  fully  assembled  for  use  on  carpeted  floors.  All  that  is 
required is fixing into the cabinet. This is achieved by simply screwing 
the feet fully into the 4-threaded inserts in the underside of the cabinet.  
If your carpet has a very thick pile, remove the soft polymer pad from 
the foot to ensure the spike goes right through the carpet onto the floor. 
With  great  care  turn  your  cabinet  the  right  way  up.  Place  the  cabinet 
in  your  desired  location,  and  check  that  it  is  level  on  all  sides.  If  it  is 
slightly unstable, unscrew the spike at the lowest point and check again. 
Continue this process until the cabinet is fully level. Use the locking nut 
on the foot to fix the foot in place and to stop any unwanted vibrations.

Spiked Foot Fixing For Wooden/Hard Floors 

For use on solid floors or where spikes are inappropriate, it is possible 
to use the foot without the spike insert. To use the foot in this manner 
carefully grip the knurled portion of the spike and rotate anti clockwise to 
unscrew the spike fully.

You  may  find  it  easier  to  first  remove  the  polymer  pad  to  gain  more 
purchase on the spike.

The pad should be replaced before carrying out the levelling operation 
previously described.
