Handling Vacuum Tubes 

 

Many  may  not  have  had  experience  handling  vacuum  tubes.    However,  most  people  have  handled 
incandescent light bulbs which is very similar to dealing with vacuum tubes.  As with light bulbs, you should 
not touch a vacuum tube when it is on or you can burn yourself.  Similarly, if a tube is dropped on a hard 
surface the tube will break.  When you replace a tube you should make certain the unit is disconnected from 
the AC outlet and that the tube has cooled down.  Never force a tube into a socket.  You should treat the 
tube gently when holding or replacing it.  The precautions needed when handling a light bulb will give you a 
good guide on how to handle a vacuum tube. 

 

Packaging 

 
Save all the packaging in a dry place. Your Black Ice Audio, Inc. amplifier is a precision electronic instrument 
and should be properly packaged any time shipment is made. Because of its weight (55 pounds), it is highly 
probable that the unit will be damaged during shipment if repackaged in a box and packing other than that 
designed for the unit. 
 
You may have occasion to return the unit to the factory for service or shipment of the unit may be required 
for  some  other  situation.    Should  shipment  prove  necessary,  the  original  packaging  may  save  your 
investment from unnecessary damage, delay and expense. 

 
Unpacking 

 
The Fusion F35 is packed within  a custom made impact absorbing foam wrap that holds the amplifier in the 
carton.    Because  of  the  unit  weight  and  because  it  is  a  precision  electronic  instrument,  reasonable  care 
should be taken when unpacking the unit and preparing it for use. 
 
It  is  best  to  unpack  a  unit  in  a  large  open  work  area  with  two  people  on  hand.  The  carton  should  be  set 
upright in the center of the work area and a small knife used to carefully slit or lift the taped edges of the 
outer carton's top flaps. Fold the flaps to the sides to lift out the inner foam that houses the amplifier. One 
person should hold the box while another lifts the amplifier out and places the unit on a flat surface.  Very 
carefully  remove  the  foam  one  side  at  a  time  while  providing  support  for  the  amplifier.  Now,  while  your 
memory is fresh, reassemble the carton system for future use. 
 

Accessories 

 
1 AC Power Cord 
1 Tuning Wand/Bias adjustment screwdriver 
1 Gloves 
1 Cloth cover 
 

Preparation for Use 

 
1. Place your amplifier on a flat surface. 

 

2.  Your  Fusion  F35  amplifier  is  shipped  with  the  vacuum  tubes  in  foam  protected  against  vibration.    The 
tubes can be installed by matching the "V1" on the amplifier with the "V1" on the tube and so on.  On the 
larger power output tubes, there is a key on the middle plastic. Make sure the pins and key of the tube are 
lined up with the holes in the socket and never use excessive force when putting the tube into the socket.If 
you remove the tubes and do not put them back in their original sequence, the amplifier should be re-biased.   

 

Note:  Contact  Enhancers  are  not  recommended  for  use  on  vacuum  tube  contact  pins.  With  continual 
exposure to heat and air, these substances can form gummy, dust-collecting residues which actually reduce 
contact and degrade sonic performance. Proper external use of contact enhancers -- on interconnect plugs, 
speaker connections, etc. -- is subject to the discretion of the owner.
