•
Always make sure the amp's vents are open, allowing heat to escape and air to flow
freely.
•
Keep the amp away from moisture, and never put any beverages on top of the amplifier,
no matter how convenient it may seem!
•
Only change fuses with the amp unplugged from the wall!
•
There are potentially lethal voltages present inside the amplifier. Do not open the
amplifier chassis unless authorized and are a qualified technician.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Science Amplifiers are warranted to be free from defects in workmanship for the lifetime of
the original owner. Electronic components such as capacitors, resistors, transformers, jacks,
and potentiometers are warranted for 5 years (not including tubes, see below). Any part
determined defective by Science Amplification within the 5 year period shall be repaired or
replaced by Science Amplification without charge for parts and labor provided the unit is
returned and transportation costs prepaid. Science Amplification will pay return shipping
costs to the original owner. Any unauthorized repair, modification, or tampering voids this
warranty.
The warranty excludes:
•
Normal wear and tear: worn out tubes, jacks, cosmetic damage, etc.
•
Misuse and abuse: operating the amp without a speaker connected (although the amp
has some built-in protection against this), operating the amp into the wrong speaker
load, improper tube installation, using the wrong value fuses, maladjustment of bias
controls, etc.
•
Accidental damage: Dropping the amp, spilling liquid inside, etc.
•
Acts of "God”: Natural disasters and other non-preventable/foreseeable events that
damage the amplifier.
•
Tubes, unless within manufacture's warranty period of 90 days (replacements offered
at manufacturer's discretion).
•
Any damage caused by authorized or unauthorized repair or modification that is not
performed by Science Amplification.
