MAINTENANCE

8.5.1 Performance Testing
Listening tests and/or formal measurements should be done periodically. The interval between
such tests will depend on the frequency of system usage and the conditions of use. All
transducers should be tested for functionality and proper performance. A sine wave sweep at
approximately 10% of rated power will usually reveal transducer and/or enclosure problems in the
form of distortion, buzzes, or rattles.
8.5.2 Cleaning
Clean the exterior surfaces of the enclosures as required, using a damp cloth to remove any dust
or dirt. After cleaning, use a clean dry cloth to remove any excess moisture.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the exterior finishes do not use cleaning solvents or abrasives.
8.5.3 Cosmetic Field Repairs
While the enclosure paint finish and wood is of high quality and durability, mars, marks, and other
blemishes will likely appear from normal use. For paint touchup, contact the EAW Service
Department for original factory paint (Sherwin-Williams Polane® 700T, water reducible
polyurethane-acrylic enamel) and instructions for its application. Otherwise, use the closest match
to this paint from a local Sherwin-Williams dealer. For cosmetically damaged wood, use common
woodworking methods and materials as appropriate for the damage.

1. Bends
2. Cracks
3. Cracked welds
4. Worn spots
