UNPACKING THE APOLLO MONOBLOCKS

WARNING - This amplifier uses voltages that could cause injury or
death. Never open the amplifier while it is plugged in, and always wait
at least one hour after turning the unit off to unplug and open the unit.
Lethal voltages can remain in the electronics after the unit is
unplugged.
The Apollo amplifier has been painstakingly inspected for cosmetic flaws during
and after assembly. In order not to damage the cosmetic appearance of your
amplifier it is important that you follow the unpacking instructions carefully.
1. Carefully lift the outer box up and over the amplifiers.
2. Remove the foam pads from the top of the amplifiers.
3. The Apollo has two built in handles on either end of the amplifier. Remove
any rings or jewelry that can scratch the aluminum finish. CAUTION – The
Apollo amplifier weighs 100 pounds. Carefully lift the amplifier and move
it to its operational location. Note – this is not a one person job!
4. Save the packing materials. The packing materials and box have been
carefully designed to protect your valuable equipment during shipping so you
don’t want to throw them away.
5. Align Tubes - Using a glove or a clean dry cloth, straighten any tubes that may
have tilted during shipment. Ensure that all of the tubes are fully seated in
their ceramic sockets.
