I am having an issue with the spikes on my new 803 D3. Can you please help? I cannot figure out how to expose the spikes on my 803 D3.

When I try to spin the three pronged locking nut, it does not move enough for spikes to reach the carpeted floor.

The manual says “insert the supplied metal bar into the hole at the end of one of the prongs and turn; releasing the locking nut ”, but I cannot figure out how to do this step. One of the prongs has a hole, I put the metal bar in this hole, but nothing happens when I try to turn it. And I have no leverage.

The three-pronged locking nut is just that: a nut that locks the spike in position. To rotate the spike in/out, insert the supplied metal bar in to the hole(s) in the spike, itself. After the spike is in place, rotate the nut by hand to lock it in position.

Yes, a McIntosh MA9000--300wpc. I use the 4 ohm taps. A great combo!
