Maintenance 

YG  Acoustics™  Rack  has  a  high-quality  finish  on  its  various  parts,  which  does  not 
require any routine maintenance. Use a soft cloth, slightly dampened with water only, to 
remove  any  fingerprints  or  to  wipe  off  dust,  and  immediately  follow  with  a  dry  cloth. 
Always make sure that water or any other material does not touch electronic equipment, 
and that your entire system is unplugged. 
Regularly inspect the tightness of Rack screws, but do not overtighten. 
Always  let  your  YG  Acoustics™  dealer  perform  any  tasks  other  than  the  above-
mentioned action. Attempting to perform any other repairs/modifications on your own (for 
any reason) would immediately void the limited warranty. 

Spikes 

YG Acoustics™ Rack comes standard with spikes. 
 

Caution: Rack with spikes installed is a heavy object with very sharp corners. 
Please follow common-sense safety rules to prevent injury. 
 

The  holes  for  spikes  on  the  bottom  of  each  Rack  bottom  shelf  allow  for  either  3  or  4 
spikes  to  be  used.  For  3  spikes,  use  one  spike  in  the  front-center  hole  and  two  in  the 
back holes. For 4 spikes, use all corners and leave the front-center hole vacant. 
 
To adjust a spike, adjust its height using a hex key in the side-hole of the spike-tip while 
keeping enough thread in the spike to maintain stability, and re-tighten the locking nut.
