Important: Read Before Proceeding! 

 

Read and follow the Safety Instructions below. 

 

Save all packing materials. The Scoutmaster should only be moved or shipped in its original 

packaging to reduce the risk of damage in transit. 

 

The Scoutmaster must be placed on a flat, level surface. This will make setup easy, provide 

better sound quality, and put less strain on the main bearing.
