Your Hammond Organ is shipped from the factory set for local A.C. power. Locate
the A.C. Power Cord and plug the female end into the A.C. Power receptacle of
your organ, and the male end into your A.C. power outlet.
NOTE: When connecting the New C-3, feed the A.C. Power Cord (female end) through one of the round cable
holes, and plug the female end into the receptacle of your organ, and the male end into your A.C. power
outlet

Speaker will usually be included with your organ. Before turning the organ power "ON",
the Leslie Speaker should be connected to the organ. To do this:
1. Locate the Leslie Connector Cable.
2. Plug the female end of the Connector Cable into the receptacle on the back lower
left corner of the Leslie Speaker.
3. Plug the male end of the Connector Cable into the 11-pin Leslie
socket marked MAIN.
NOTE: When connecting the New C-3, feed the female end of the Leslie Cable through one of
the round cable holes on the organ cabinet, and plug the male end of the Connector Cable
into the 11-pin Leslie socket marked MAIN.
NOTE: Both the Leslie connections are "keyed", that is, each connection contains a notch which insures that the
pins properly match up.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Connecting the organ to certain Leslie Speakers may require a special adapter
kit and/or Connector Cable. Contact your Hammond Organ Dealer for more information regarding
which adapter kit and/or cable you may need.
