CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS:

Tube amplifiers, especially high-powered tube amps, generate heat. Allow at least 4 inches (100mm)
of clearance at the back, top and front of the amplifier cabinet. Do not block ventilation vents and
keep clear of curtains and other flammable materials. Avoid contact with hot tubes.
Do not expose amplifier to moisture, rain, splashed water, beverages, etc.
Be sure that a speaker load is connected to the amplifier before applying power; otherwise damage to
the amplifier could result.
Be sure that the amplifier is properly grounded. Do not defeat the ground pin on the AC power input
plug. The ground is there to protect the user from the possibility of shock.
Be sure that the AC power (mains) voltage selector switch is configured for the proper voltage (115
volts or 230 volts) for the area you are located before connecting the amplifier to the power source.
In the event of a thunderstorm, remove the power plug from the wall socket to prevent damage due to
the possibility of lightening strikes.
Turn off power to the amplifier (or place in standby) when changing wiring connections to prevent
damage to speakers from possible (and unexpected) loud noises.
WARNING: This amplifier is capable of extreme high decibel output. Always protect your hearing.

Always unplug the amp when changing the power or preamp tubes. Never touch the tubes if they are
