Once you have assembled the bases and the final position of the speakers has been located, it is time to replace the transport wheels. - Page 19 Please replace the wheels on one side of each loudspeaker at a time . One person should carefully tilt the speaker against himself/herself and hold it in this position (drawing 9), while the other person removes the two accessible wheels as shown in drawing 10. Please make sure the edge of the speaker's bottom does not touch the floor during this process.
