OVATOR S-800, S-600 & S-400 – English
Introduction and Unpacking
The Ovator S-800, S-600 and S-400 are very high performance speakers that will
repay effort spent on installation. It is important that you read this manual before
fully unpacking and installing your Ovators. The manual begins with unpacking
instructions. Ovators are extremely heavy and to minimise the risk of damage
or personal injury you should follow these instructions carefully. Unpacking and
installing Ovators is a two-person task and should not be attempted alone.
1 S-800 Unpacking
It is important that Ovators are unpacked as described in
the following paragraphs and illustrations.
They should be unpacked in the room in which they are to
be used and close to their likely installed positions.
Having removed this manual proceed to unpack each
Ovator following the steps below:
1.1
With the carton standing upright, open the two front
carton flaps.
1.2
Remove the inner flap to create a ramp.
1.3
The speaker has front and back castor trolleys
attached to its plinth that enable it to be rolled out of
the carton and down the ramp. The speaker is extremely
heavy – take great care. Do not work alone.
1.4
Work with a another person to roll the speaker to its
likely installed position. Push the speaker from a point
towards the middle or below. Remove the castor trolleys
one at a time. Unscrew both attachment screws then tilt
the speaker backwards, using your foot to stabilise it, and
remove the front trolley when it is clear. Lower the speaker
on to its front floor-spikes (fitted with covers) and tilt the
speaker forwards to remove the rear trolley. Even with
floor-spike covers fitted, take care when removing the
trolleys that the floor-spikes do not cause damage or injury.
Note:
Keep all the packing, including the transit screws
and spacers. The transit screws must be replaced if the
loudspeakers are to be repacked and shipped. Tighten the
screws sufficiently to restrain the suspension system.
