CAUTION - SAFETY NOTICES
THE AMPLIFIER CONTAINS NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS. DO NOT REMOVE THE BOTTOM PLATES
OR CHASSIS COVERS. LETHAL VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WITHIN THE CHASSIS. DO NOT OPERATE
THE UNITS IF THEY ARE WET.
VACUUM TUBES BECOME HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS. NEVER TOUCH A TUBE WHEN
THE UNIT IS ON. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES FOR THE TUBES TO COOL DOWN AFTER THE UNIT
IS SWITCHED OFF. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE TUBE COVERS BE LEFT IN PLACE AT ALL
TIMES.
Never touch a tube if the glass is broken. The internal structures carry high voltage and could present
a serious, possibly lethal shock. If a tube breaks, unplug the amplifier and wait 30 minutes, then
remove the tube.
Keep flammable objects away from the amplifier.
DO NOT LEAVE THE AMPLIFIER UNATTENDED IN OPERATION.
THE AMPLIFIER IS HEAVY. IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE ASSISTANCE IN UNPACKING, MOVING, AND
SETTING UP. BE SURE TO USE PROPER LIFTING TECHNIQUES TO AVOID BACK STRAIN AND INJURY.
BE CERTAIN TO INSTALL IT IN A SECURE LOCATION FROM WHICH IT CAN NOT FALL OR TIP OVER.
Provide adequate ventilation - allow at least 3 inches above and to each side.
Do not place in a completely enclosed cabinet. Do not stack other equipment on top of the VAC
unit.
Do not operate on carpet or any other surface that might block air flow.
