Your WZ14:4:2+ is ruggedly constructed to withstand the rigours of the road whether location
mixing or live gigging. However, you will extend the life of the console and preserve its cosmetics
by applying these simple common sense precautions.
Prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics by avoiding drinks spillage, tobacco ash, smoke,
and exposure to rain and moisture. If the console becomes wet, switch off and remove mains
power immediately. Allow to dry out thoroughly before using again.
Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat and vibration when operating and storing.
Avoid the use of chemicals, abrasives or solvents. The control panel is best cleaned with a soft
brush and dry lint-free cloth. The faders, switches and potentiometers are lubricated for life. The
use of electrical lubricants on these parts is not recommended.
