A. LINE CORD 

- the Hot Rod Deluxe is equipped

with a grounding type supply cord to reduce the
possibility of shock hazard.  Be sure to connect it to
a grounded AC receptacle.  

DO NOT ALTER THE

AC PLUG.

B. FUSE

- The fuse is in the AC supply of the ampli-

fier and will help to protect the amplifier in the event
of an electrical fault or tube failure.  If a fuse blows,
replace it only with one of the same type and rating.
(Refer to the specification page to determine the
correct fuse type and rating for your amplifier).
NEVER use a fuse with a higher current rating as this
could damage the equipment and present a serious
safety hazard.  If the amplifier repeatedly blows
fuses, it should be taken to an authorized Fender
service center.

C. MAIN SPEAKER 

- This is the main plug-in con-

nection to the speakers and must always be used as
their primary connection.

D. EXTERNAL SPEAKER

- Plug-in connection for

an external speaker.  This jack is wired in parallel
with the main speaker jack and must ONLY be used
in conjunction with the main speaker jack.  If this
jack is used without the main speaker jack, there will
be no sound.  The external speaker jack must be
used with an 8 ohm speaker enclosure. 

E. CHANNEL SELECT

- Allows the remote switching

from the NORMAL channel to the DRIVE channel.

F. DRIVE/MORE DRIVE

Allows the remote

switching of the Gain from Drive to More Drive.

NOTE: The tubes, external speaker jack, speaker
jack and fuse are not accessible by the user in
Scandinavian countries.  Refer any servicing or
changes to a qualified technician.
