5. With at least two people, lift the amplifier clear of the bag and the crate bottom, and place the unit on a
carpeted floor on the two aluminum feet.
WARNING
:
Do not lift the unit by the heat sink or you may cause damage to the
internal components of the unit.
6. If you wish to install the spiked feet on the bottom of the amplifier, remove the 4 spiked feet from the
Spare Parts kit that was included with this unit. Tilting the unit to one side at a time, install the feet into
the threaded holes in the aluminum base of the amplifier, in the approximate locations pictured.
5. Return the plastic bag and the tie straps to the base of the crate, place the crate box onto the base and
screw it together with the same screws that were removed during unpacking. Keep the crate in a safe place
for future shipping.
Check to make sure that no physical damage has occurred during shipping of the unit. There should be no
rattles inside the amplifier chassis. Look through the top cover and check to see that the tubes appear
properly seated in their sockets, and that no tubes are white on top. Contact your VTL dealer immediately
if any physical damage is detected.
