Chapter 2; Getting Started; Before Starting; Unpacking The Unit From The Crate - VTL S-400 II series Owner's Manual

C H A P T E R 2

Getting Started

Before starting

1.
This amplifier is shipped with one stereo in each crate. Inside the crate the amplifier is wrapped in thick
plastic. The plastic is not strong enough to support the unit, and may tear if you try to lift the unit out of
the box with it. Also there are protruding switches, which could break if the
unit is not properly handled, and in addition to the awkward, unbalanced heavy
load the unit has sharp edges and a cleaning polish on it, which makes it
slippery and hard to grasp.
2.
When lifting the unit, be sure to enlist the help of one or more person(s) to help you. Lift from the
bottom of the unit with both hands. Be careful not to break any switches or to rest the unit on any side
other than the bottom side, and on a stable surface. Setting it on any other side may damage protruding
components.
SAVE THE CRATES AND ALL PACKAGING FOR FUTURE SHIPMENT.
Warning:
This unit is extremely heavy, and weighs about 200 lbs. Unpacking
should be done by two or more people who are capable of lifting a heavy load.
Ensure that the amplifier would not fall and injure someone. Do not attempt to
lift the unit yourself.

Unpacking the unit from the crate

1 crate comes with an accessory cover and 1 crate
does not have the accessory cover.
Before the crate with the accessory cover can be
removed from the base, the top accessory cover
must be removed.
Start by removing all of the screws from around the
top of the crate. There are 14 screws in all that must
be removed before the top accessory cover can be
separated from the crate.
Place the screws in a safe place like in a plastic bag
or box.
