WARNING NOTICE TO USER: 
The PowerTube is a high voltage tube device designed for professional use only. 
Although preventative safety measures have been designed into Radial 500 
series products we strictly advise against hot-swapping modules or plugging and 
unplugging them when the Workhorse or other 500 series rack is powered on. 
Hot swapping can cause connection sparks at the card-edge connector that could 
send damaging transients to other equipment. This also greatly reduces the life 
span of the contacts. Damage due to hot swapping is not covered under warranty.  

There are no spare or replacement parts inside and opening the unit should only 
be done by a technician familiar with 500 series modules, their operation or those 
experienced at replacing tubes.
