Caution
:
To prevent damage to the C8 Tubes
during shipping, there is a special
foam insert surrounding the Tubes
of the Preamplifier.
The Foam Insert must
be removed from the C8
before connecting the AC
Power Supply Cord to the
Preamplifier.
Failure to do so has the
potential of a Fire Hazard,
resulting in damage to the
C8 and the surrounding
environment.
Follow these instructions for
removal of the packing foam
before connecting the AC
Power Supply Cord to the
C8.
The C8 has no user serviceable parts, including the
tubes. If repairs are needed they must be performed by
an authorized McIntosh Service Agency. Follow the
steps below to prepare the C8 for operation:
1. Orient the C8 so the Front and Top of the
Preamplifier is facing you. Refer to Figure A.
3. Carefully lift upright the Foam Insert Vacuum
Tube Cover and place it near to the C8
Preamplifier. Refer to Figure C.
TO AVOID A FIRE HAZARD, THE FOAM INSERT
OVER THE VACUUM TUBES MUST BE REMOVED
PRIOR TO CONNECTING THE AC POWER CORD
AND OPERATING THIS PRODUCT.
