To safely unpack the Nº33 amplifier:
1 CAREFULLY CUT THE NYLON STRAPPING AROUND THE CRATE
These straps may be under some tension, and the ends may snap outward
when that tension is first released. Stand to one side when cutting each ny-
lon strap to avoid any chance of the strap contacting you.
2 REMOVE ALL CLAMPS AND THE FOUR SCREWS HOLDING THE TOP OF
THE CRATE TO THE FOUR SIDES
You may use a large screwdriver or a small crowbar to pry the clamps off
the crate. Set these clamps aside. (Save all shipping materials for possible
future use.)
Two screws are located at each end of the short side of the top of the crate.
Remove and save these four screws, which secure the top of the crate to the
sides. (Save all shipping materials for possible future use.)
3 LIFT OFF THE TOP OF THE CRATE, AND SET IT ASIDE
The various pieces of the crate are designed to fit snugly into one another.
Do not be surprised if removing the top requires some effort, especially if
unpacking takes place in a humid climate where the wood may have
swelled slightly from the moisture.
4 LIFT ALL FOUR SIDES UP AND AWAY FROM THE BASE
The sides and ends may be lifted up and out of their respective slots in the
base of the crate, and set to aside. As with the top, this may require some
effort. You should now have the Nº33 standing on the wooden base of the
crate, inside its plastic shipping bag.
5 USING A RATCHETED SOCKET WRENCH, REMOVE THE FOUR BOLTS
HOLDING THE Nº33 TO THE BASE OF THE CRATE
The Nº33 is attached to the base of its shipping crate with four bolts, acces-
sible between the pieces of blue, dense foam along the sides of the base.
These bolts attach directly to the bottom of the feet of the Nº33 from un-
derneath, and have
9
16" hexagonal heads. Using a ratcheted socket wrench,
remove these four bolts from underneath each amplifier.
6 REMOVE THE WOODEN RETAINING BAR FROM THE FRONT OF THE BASE
Two more bolts with
9
16" hexagonal heads hold this retainer in place. Re-
move the bolts and the retaining bar and set them aside.
7 WITH AT LEAST TWO STRONG PEOPLE, CAREFULLY SLIDE THE Nº33 FOR-
WARD, OFF THE CRATE’S BASE AND ONTO THE FLOOR
Understand this step completely before attempting it. The Nº33 is ex-
tremely heavy and must be handled with great care to avoid possible per-
sonal injury or damage to the unit when attempting to lift it.
