and pull the speaker over.
* Be sure to fully extend the legs of tripod type stands.
* Position the stand so that the legs do not present a trip hazard.
* Do not attempt to place more than one speaker on a stand.
* Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may be necessary to
place additional weight (i.e. sandbags) on the base of stand to improve
stability.
