Unpacking the Nº33
The shipping weight of each of your Nº33 Reference Monaural Power Amplifiers is approximately 435 pounds (198 kg). Any freight this massive must be handled with extreme care to avoid injury. At least two strong people are required (more is nice) to unpack the Nº33 amplifiers safely once they have been delivered to the appropriate location in their shipping crates.
Included with your new Mark Levinson amplifier is two pairs of knit, white gloves designed to assist you in the initial unpacking and placement of your new purchase. Please accept them as a token of our appreciation for having purchased one of our products.
Under no circumstances should you consider unpacking your amplifier without adequate assistance, as both personal injury and damage to the product is likely unless you follow the procedures listed below.
The shipping crates used for transporting the Nº33 power amplifiers should be kept upright (as indicated by the arrows on the outside of the crates) at all times during the unpacking procedure.
Save all packing material for future use. In the event that you need to ship your Nº33 amplifiers, only their original,
The shipping crates for your amplifiers are modular in design to facilitate the packing and unpacking of these massive products. Nonetheless, there is no es- caping the fact that these amplifiers are heavy.
Do not attempt to lift the Nº33 from its packing crate alone. Never attempt to lift a Nº33 power amplifier while bending from the waist.
Always stand as straight as possible and use your leg muscles to lift the amplifier.
Never attempt to lift the entire amplifier at one time (even with two people). Instead, always lift either one end or the other, leaving the remaining end to be supported by the base of the shipping crate or the floor.
