INSTALLING THE BOTTOM PLATE
The bottom plate is easily installed by turning the amplifier over to rest on the transformers.
( )
Install plastic feet to bottom plate with #6-32x
½
˝ screw, lockwasher and nut as shown in Pictorial 9.
( )
Place bottom plate to align with mounting holes on the lip of the chassis. The gold plated name plate
will cover the opening in the chassis below the 12BY7A tubes.
( )
Insert #6 by
¼
˝ self-tapping screw
(
using #6 washer under head
)
in appropriate holes in bottom plate
and tighten slightly. After all screws are installed, tighten securely.
You have completed the amplifier and it is ready to be installed.
IN THE EVENT OF DIFFICULTY
1.
Recheck all wiring beginning with the first step. Use a colored pencil to trace the leads on the pictorial as
you recheck the step-by-step instructions and actual wiring.
2.
Check the A.C. primary fuse. Improper wiring may cause overloading and will blow the fuse. Replace
only with the same value supplied with the kit
(
8 Amp, GLH
)
.
3.
Check the tubes to see if they light.
4.
Have someone with electronic experience review your wiring for he may find an error that is elusive to
you.
5.
Check all voltages and resistances. Variations in line voltages and components may cause as much as a
20% difference from the reading listed in the voltage and resistance charts. Using a 1000 ohm per-volt
instrument may further lower the readings and it is advisable to use a VTVM if it is available If your
voltage readings do not correspond to the voltage table, critically inspect that portion of the circuit
where the readings fail to correspond.
6.
Check all resistors and condensers with an ohmmeter where the improper operating voltages are noted.
7.
If you cannot find the difficulty write to Harman-Kardon, Inc. Citation Kit Division, Plainview, L. I.,
New York and give all symptoms, voltage and resistance readings and describe your difficulty in detail.
State model and serial number. You will receive our prompt reply to help solve your problem.
8.
Our factory service department is at your disposal in the event you cannot resolve this problem by
yourself. Please write us before shipping your amplifier for we may be able to advise you of a local
warranty station equipped to assist you to obtain the specified performance from your amplifier.
A.C. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Connect the A.C. line cord into any outlet furnishing 117 volts, 60 cycles A.C. current. The voltage may vary
between 110 and 125 volts.
An A.C. convenience receptacle is located on the rear panel of the amplifier. Any auxiliary equi pment may be
connected to this power receptacle and will be turned off with the power amplifier.
Do not place books or objects on top of the amplifier for this will restrict ventilation and may reduce tube and
component life. Allow at least 4 inches above the amplifier for unrestricted circulation.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
Your two speakers should be identical, if possible, to obtain optimum results. As this power amplifier is rated at
60 watts per channel, it is advisable to use speakers with high power handling capabilities. The speakers should
be placed along the same wall approximately 8 to 15 feet apart, depending upon room size and furniture
placement. It may be necessary to experiment with speaker placement until best results are obtained.
