Getting Started
There are several things you should know to get started with your new amplifier.
•
There are no user serviceable items inside the chassis of this amplifier. For your own safety
contact us directly, or take it to a qualified technician.
•
ValveTrain Amplification is not responsible for your safety when using this device. We give you
these basics to protect you as well as ourselves.
•
Use Common Sense.
•
Do not use the amplifier, or leave it plugged in when it is exposed to liquids. (This includes rain,
water, soft drinks and beer.)
•
Do not change tubes or fuses without first unplugging the amplifier.
•
Use the correct replacement fuse in the event that it needs to be changed.
•
Tubes can get extremely hot when the amplifier is in use. Please keep your children away from
them, along with anyone else. They will get severely burned if they come in contact with the
tubes when the amplifier is in operation or recently powered off.
•
Do not use the amplifier when it is near drapery, furnishings, paper or anything else flammable.
The heat from the tubes may possibly cause them to ignite. Maintain at least 6 inches of space
around the unit while it is in operation.
•
Instrument amplifiers by nature are intended to get loud. Respect your hearing and the hearing of
others. Permanent damage may result.
•
This amplifier comes with a grounded power cord (3 prong). Do not alter this and always make
sure the unit is connected to properly grounded power of the correct voltage. (United States
120VAC)
•
Never run the amplifier without speaker(s) connected. You may cause major damage (not under
warranty by the way) to the amplifier.
We’ve tried to do our part, you do yours…
Don’t take chances.
