UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

This amplifiers is shipped without the valves installed. It is necessary to install the
valves first. It is essential that the valves are installed correctly or serious damage
that is not covered by the warranty will result. We recommend that your dealer does
this for you.

Installing the valves

Please take care when unpacking the amplifier as it is fairly heavy and place on a suitable
clean space (table or floor). We recommend that you store the packaging materials in
case the unit requires shipping at a later date.
Carefully unwrap all the valves. You will find 2 x 6SN7WGTA, 2 x 300B and 1 x 5U4G
valves.
Looking from the front of the amplifier, the first valves to plug in is the 6SN7WGTA
valves, which goes into the two valve bases at the front of the amplifier.
Inspect the locating pin on the bottom center of the valve and align with the valve base
(the locating pin can only go in one way round due to a locating spigot) and with gentle
but firm pressure insert the valves.
Looking from the front of the amplifier, the next valve to plug in is the 5U4G valve
which goes into the last valve base at the back of the amplifier.
