3.1 Unpack Your Amplifi er
Please unpack and inspect your amplifi er for
any damage that may have occurred during
transit. If damage is found, notify the
transpor tation company immediately. Only you
can ini tiate a claim for shipping damage. Crown
will be happy to help as needed. Save the
shipping carton as evidence of damage for the
shipper's inspection.
We also recommend that you save all packing
materials so you will have them if you ever need
to transport the unit. Never ship the unit
without the factory pack.

Rack for mounting amplifi er (or a stable surface

3.3 Ensure Proper Cooling

When using an equipment rack, mount units
directly on top of each other. Close any open
spaces in rack with blank panels. DO NOT block
front or rear air vents. The side walls of the rack
should be a minimum of two inches (5.1 cm)
away from the amplifi er sides, and the back of
the rack should be a minimum of four inches
(10.2 cm) from the amplifi er back panel.
