Dahlquist speakers packing instructions

Packing Instructions

The following instructions indicate the correct way to remove and pack your

Speaker(s) properly:

Removal

1) Remove Front Grille of speaker.

2) Remove screws from the speaker in need of service.

3) Some speakers may have putty sealant behind it.

If the speaker does not remove by hand, a flat head

screwdriver may be used to lightly pry - by inserting it underneath

the frame of the speaker.

4) Once the speaker is removed, you will notice two color coded

wires. One wire is positive (red dot, plus, or X mark), the other

negative. Unsolder the wires from the terminals. Customers who do

not have knowledge of soldering can cut the wires a few inches

above the speaker terminals. When re-installing the speaker, the end

of the wires can be stripped, twisted together (always connect the

same color wires together - positive to positive / negative to negative)

, and capped with an electrical nut. This is the only alternative to a decent

connection.

Packing

5) If sending one speaker: place speaker face down on a piece of cardboard.

Secure by popping holes in the cardboard where the empty frame holes are

positioned on the speaker.

6) Loop a wire tie or nut and bolt thru the speaker frame holes and the card board

and tighten. The speaker will now be strapped or bolted to the cardboard facing

down.

If sending two identical speakers (two woofer,etc.):

Place face to face, line up empty frame holes

(where you removed the screws upon removal of speaker)

and loop a wire tie or nut and bolt thru the holes. Tighten.

Your speakers should now be strapped or bolted face to face.

7) Obtain a rigid sturdy cardboard carton with at least two inches of space

all around the speaker - top, bottom, and sides. The spaces will be filled

with packing material.

8) Bubble wrap the unit good. This is important! A few thin layers will not absorb

impact during transport. After the unit is bubble wrapped, additional packing

material may be used in the box - foam peanuts, newspaper, foam, etc.

9) Place a note in the carton with your name, return address, and daytime

telephone number. The daytime number should be an easy contact for

details on your serviced speaker and to obtain credit card payment

information.

10) Always try to use a major shipping carrier such as U.P.S. or Fedex.

Avoid using the U.S. postal service (exception of international customers)-

it is difficult to track your package and a slower service.

11) Insure your speaker with U.P.S. or Fedex. This only costs a few dollars.
