IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
We want you to be aware of certain safety aspects, for reasons of product
safety
and
liability
. With all due respect, please read the following
before
operating your new Diezel VHX.
•
DO NOT
use or store the device in or near
moist
or
wet
areas.
•
Check voltage
specification at rear of unit before plugging unit in. Make sure that voltage shown is the correct voltage for the location you are
using the device at. Under no circumstances can the amplifier be used at different than shown voltages.
•
DO NOT OPEN
the device housing. It must only be done by authorized personnel. Your VHX operates on
very high internal voltages
, which may
still be present after the device has been turned off and disconnected for a while. No user serviceable parts inside
•
The VHX was designed to amplify a guitar signal and can be used only for this purpose.
•
When transporting the VHX please observe the following: The Diezel VHX is a vacuum tube instrument amplifier. Vacuum tubes are shock
sensitive, especially when hot. To avoid damaging the unit, we recommend using care during setup and tear down of the unit. Allow the Amplifier
to adjust to ambient temperature before operating, 60 minutes should be enough in all cases. The VHX lives inside an extremely rugged chassis,
but for continued road use, please protect the amplifier by using a professional flight case. Transport only in operating position. Do not transport
upside down or on its side.
•
The Diezel VHX is configured to deliver highest tone fidelity at “normal volume levels (76 - 80dB). We caution you for your own good not to
expose yourself to very high-volume levels for long periods of time. It can lead to hearing damage.
•
Blown fuses can only be replaced with fuses of equal values
. The use of incorrect fuses is prohibited and can cause severe injury and damage
of the amplifier.
•
Use only a
grounded power cable
in good operating condition.
