UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

The amplifier is shipped without the 3 large 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 if you are unsure.
Please take the time now to fill out and send in your warranty card. This will serve as
proof of purchase and ensure that all warranty work if ever needed is completed in a
timely fashion.

Installing the valves

Please take care when unpacking the amplifier as it is very 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.
Use a No.2 pozidrive® screwdriver to remove the top cover of the amplifier, 6 x screws
for the top and 7 x screws for each side. Now remove the 3 valves that are packed inside
the amplifier. Also inspect the inside of the amplifier to check that nothing has become
damaged during transit including the remaining 9 smaller valves.
Carefully unwrap the 3 valves. You will find 2 x 300B and 1 x 5U4G valve.
It is absolutely vital that these valves are fitted correctly.
