Your dealer will have a person trained in the art of the Alexandria installation. If you choose to do this installation yourself, here are some guidelines to assist you. These guidelines come from many years of experience and should be followed closely. First, placethewoofermodulesintheZoneofNeutralityasdeterminedbytheprocedure outlined in Section 2. 1. Remove the protective film covering the painted surfaces on the modules, wing assem- blies, and crossover covers.
