CHAPTER 2
Getting Started
Unpacking the ST-150 from its box
The ST-150 Stereo amplifiers are shipped in cartons and wrapped in thick plastic. The plastic is not strong
enough to support the unit, and may tear if you try to lift the unit out of the box with it. Also there are
protruding switches which could break if the unit is not properly handled, and in addition to the awkward,
unbalanced heavy load the unit has a cleaning polish on it which makes it slippery and hard to grasp. We have
found that the best way to remove the amplifier from the box is as follows:
1. With the box on a thick carpeted floor, fold back all the flaps of the top of the carton, leaving all
the packing foam in place. Roll the carton onto one long side on top of the flap.
2. Roll the box once more onto the open top and, making sure that none of the flaps is trapped
under the carton, the unit should now be upside down, lift the carton off the unit.
3. Lift the top foam away from the upside down unit and carefully cut away the plastic from around
the amplifier.
4. Lift the amplifier up by rolling the unit onto a short side and then again so that it lands on its
four rubber feet. Then lift away the packaging and set all the packaging in the carton.
5. When lifting the unit be sure to only lift it from the bottom under the transformers. Be careful
not to break any switches. Be sure to only set the amplifier down on its bottom side on the four
rubber feet on a stable surface. Setting it on any other side may damage protruding components.
If the unit is too heavy or too awkward to lift then do not attempt to do this by yourself, but rather
find someone to help you. Save the carton and all packaging for any future shipment of the amplifiers.
