Revv Owner’s Manual - 4

safety instructions & warnings

Please read, understand and follow all safety instructions in this manual,

as well as those on the rear panel of the amplifier. These instructions and

warnings must be followed for your safety, and also to ensure that the am-

plifier will serve you for many years. Please use common sense when

operating, this instrument is designed for electric guitar amplification, and

should only be used with electric guitar signals.

• Do not store or operate the amplifier in

damp/wet areas.

• Do not keep items that contain liquid

on or near the amplifier

• Allow for 4-6 inches of space around

the unit when operating. This unit

produces heat and should be kept

away from flammable items/objects.

• Do not expose the amplifier to high

temperature, keep away from radiators

or heat producing/supplying items.

• Be sure to connect to an AC power

supply that meets the power supply

specifications listed on the rear of the

unit.

• Do not use an AC power cord that is

damaged, has been pinched or is miss-

ing prongs.

• This amplifier must be properly

grounded to local standards when

being operated. Do not use 2 pole

extension or power cords to supply

power to this amplifier.

• Remove the AC power cord from the

amplifier when changing tubes, fuses

or when moving the amplifier. Always

replace fuses with the correct type

and rating. Always remove AC power

cord when removing chassis.

• The AC power cord should be

removed from the outlet when left

unused for long periods or when there

is risk of electrical storms.

• No user serviceable parts inside, all

service should be done by qualified

personnel only.

• Always make certain the proper load

is connected to the amplifier before

operating. Always make connections

to the amplifier with the power off.

• Your amplifier is designed to produce

high volume/sound pressure levels.

Long term exposure to these levels

can damage your hearing. Please use

hearing protection when exposed to

these levels for extended periods to

prevent loss of hearing or hearing

damage.

• Keep away from children.
