Mounting the console on the legs (if supplied)

Ensure that the legs, leg bolts, console are 

conveniently located for assembly.

In the diagram on the left the foam base tray 

is in position behind the console to provide a 

cushioned base to protect the rear of the console 

and the floor when fitting the legs.

1

Once the crate is dismantled, the next activity is to remove the console, legs and fixing nuts from the shipping 

crate and to mount the console on it's legs. It is suggested that the foam lattice used in the shipping crate is used 

to protect the floor and console when fitting the legs

CAUTION

: The console weighs approx 150kg (330lb), multiple people and/or lifting supports must be used to 

remove the console from the shipping crate.

Lift** the console and gently place it onto its rear.

The console will rest in a near vertical position 

on the rear panel heatsinks and the cable tray 

mounted on the rear edge.

**The console is heavy! Several strong people 

will be needed for this activity.
