4.2.1 Remove the Blower Screw
Place the amplifier on the bench or
desk where it is to be used and remove
the cover screws and the cover. With
the cover removed, rotate the amplifier
on to its right hand side as shown in
figure 4.1. While looking at the bottom
you will see a screw labled “BLOWER
SCREW”, this screw holds the blower
securely in place during shipping.
Before operation remove this screw.
4.2.2 Install the Power Transformer
With the amplifier still on its side, follow the illustrations in Figure 4.2 to install the transformer.
The extra piece of wood shipped with your amplifier is the transformer shim, which was cut
to specific dimensions to aid in this installation. Do not over tighten the screws that hold the
transformer in place as doing so may cause excessive vibrations or noise from the transformer.
Once the transformer has been installed and all of the screws are in place holding it to the chassis,
you may proceed to attach the connectors as described in section 4.2.3.
WARNING!
The transformer is very heavy and must be moved with due caution using
only the lifting handle.
Before operation remove
this screw. Before ship-
ping insert this screw to
prevent damage to the
blower assembly.
