MAINTAINING YOUR AMPLIFIER
1. Conductive foreign objects could produce a shor t circuit that could cause fire, electric
shock, or damage to your am plifier. Avoid spilling liquids or allowing any other f oreign
matter inside the unit. The pane l of your unit can be wiped from time to time with a dry or
slightly damp cloth in orde r to remove dust and bring b ack the new look. As with all
electronic equipment, avoid prolonged use in caustic environments (salt air). If used in such
an environment, be sure the amplifier is adequately protected.
2. Your amp was desig ned for an 8 Ohm speaker load. The speaker load is reflected back
to the primary of the output transformer and output tubes. DO NOT operate th is amplifier
with any speaker load other than that specified. DO NOT operate this am p without a
speaker load. Failure to follow these instru ctions could seriously dam age your am p and
may void any warranty.
3. The vacuum tubes in your am plifier are not solid state devices. They do, and will wear
out over time. The life expectancy of the tubes depends on the amount of time you use your
amplifier. If you replace your tu
bes they sh ould be rep laced with the sam e type as
originally installed. VV T Amps only guarantee s tubes originally installed/delivered with
the amplifier.
4. The tolex fabric covering the cabinet should be cleaned periodically with a soft da mp
cloth. Make sure that the am p is turned off and unplugged before cleaning the cabinet. Do
NOT use spray cleaners as overs pray may cause corrosion of the faceplate, ch assis, or
electrical components. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Do not allow the amplifier to
get wet. Don’t set your drink on it either. Use care when m oving or storing the amp; the
tolex could rip or tear. Accide ntal damage to the cabinet or tolex is not covered by your
warranty.
