Monitor Audio GSW12 - Manual (Page 6)

Unpacking
Care must be taken at all times when handling the GSW12 due to the extreme weight of the product. We
recommend a two-person lift wherever appropriate.
The feet/spike assemblies and mains power cord/s are contained within the packaging and should be removed.
Please select the power cord appropriate to your Country/location. Mains voltage selection for 100-120 Vac or 220-240 Vac
operation is electronically auto selected.
To remove the GSW12 from its carton, place some protective material on the floor and having removed any items of packing
from the top of the pack carefully invert the carton. (Also see icons on the carton). Gradually pull the carton upwards to expose
the subwoofer, which will be presented with its base uppermost. Remove fixing tape from the bag and expose the base of
the cabinet to allow fitting of the spiked feet into the M10 threaded inserts as described below.
Spiked Foot Fixing For Carpeted Floors
The spiked foot assembly incorporates a spike for use on carpeted floors and also, a soft polymer pad (for use on wooden or
tiled floors).
Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet, or trailing mains leads that could be damaged by the
spikes.
The foot comes fully assembled for use on carpeted floors. All that is
required is fixing into the cabinet. This is achieved by simply screwing
the feet fully into the 4-threaded inserts in the underside of the cabinet.
If your carpet has a very thick pile, remove the soft polymer pad from the
foot to ensure the spike goes right through the carpet onto the floor. With
great care turn your cabinet the right way up. Place the cabinet in your
desired location, and check that it is level on all sides. If it is slightly off
level, unscrew the spike at the lowest point and check again. Continue this
process until the cabinet is fully level. Use the locking nut on the foot to fix
the foot in place and to stop any unwanted vibrations.
Spiked Foot Fixing For Wooden/Hard Floors
For use on solid floors or where spikes are inappropriate, it is possible
to use the foot without the spike insert. To use the foot in this manner
carefully grip the knurled portion of the spike and rotate anti clockwise to
unscrew the spike fully.
You may find it easier to first remove the polymer pad to gain more
purchase on the spike.
The pad should be replaced before carrying out the levelling operation
previously described.
