Pass Labs 30.5 Amp owners help

I'm attempting to use banana speaker connectors with my 30.5 amp. The terminal lugs seemed to be capped rendering the ability to use banana plugs not possible. Are these caps removeable and if so, how does one remove the caps. It seems odd that a manufacturer would use speaker terminals that do not allow use of banana plugs. Anyone with an answer to my dilemma, please tell.

The terminals are capped to prevent using banana type connectors for safety reasons (read somewhere, I think in the owner's manual).

You can pull them out, no problem. That is what I did.

When I first go my Pass amp, I only had banana plug ends on my speaker cables so I improvised. The banana plugs will fit into the space you would normally place the bare speaker wires. Just make sure that you unscrew it enough to give yourself enough room.
