Page 7: Unpacking And Installation
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION Please take care when unpacking your KASSAI Balanced amplifiers. Choose a clean, clear location to unpack them, and be aware that the amplifiers are very heavy; before attempting to unpack or lift the units, check the weight and if necessary use more than one person so that they can be moved safely and easily. - Page 8 VALVE INSTALLATION The amplifiers are shipped without their valve compliment installed. It is necessary to install the valves before operation. It is essential that the valves are installed correctly or serious damage that is not covered by the warranty will result. We recommend that your dealer perform this procedure for you if you are in any way unsure.
