Unpacking the Console
The AWS consoles are supplied in a wooden crate without the legs fitted. The legs, manuals and anciliaries are located in
a tray at the base of the crate.
The weight of the console is approximately 100kg. It is recommended that at least four people are available before
attempting to manoeuvre the console.
Using a large screwdriver or pry-bar carefully open the crate containing the console. The crate is not designed to be reusable
so does not have to be removed intact. Once the top and sides of the crate have been removed there will be sufficient space
for four people to lift the console clear from the base.
The console is shipped with its trim already fitted, avoid using any of the trim as a lifting point. Do not lift the front of the
console by using the buffer alone.
Attaching the Legs
Again, it is recommended that four people are available to perform this operation.
The bolts required to attach the legs can be found in the ancillaries bag in the base of the transit crate. A 6mm hex-key is
provided to secure the leg bolts.
• The console should first be rolled onto its back. Ensure that ample padding is provided – such as blankets or bubble-
wrap – to support the rear panels (the PSU heatsink fins protrude from the rear of the console, and care must be
taken not to damage them).
• Position the legs on the console beam and attach the M10 bolts using the 6mm hex-key supplied. There are four bolts
per leg.
• Using four people, the console may now be tipped forward onto its feet. Once the console is in position, a limited
amount of adjustment is available to compensate for an uneven floor. Do not unscrew the feet inserts by more than
about 15mm.
Removing the Trim
If it is necessary to remove the trim panels – to adjoin existing furniture – then please refer to the following information
and the illustration shown on the facing page.
Note that it is not necessary to remove any of the audio modules to gain access to the trim fixing screws.
Front Buffer
The front buffer [1] is secured by nine pan-head screws – five in the front beam and two in each end trim. These are all
visible from beneath the buffer.
End Trim
Each of the end trims [2] is secured by four countersunk Posi-head screws through the profile (one is located in the knee-
panel area, two more are found either side of the main beam and the fourth is located on the bottom corner of the outside
profile), as well as two pan-head screws through the front buffer (visible from beneath the buffer).
Top Trim
The top trim [3] is clipped over the front of the meter panels and secured onto the back panels by four M3 screws.
