BEFORE POWERING UP

•Check that the local current and the amp's AC power rating are identical before you plug the PURETONE's mains cable (power cord) into an AC outlet.

•Ensure that air can circulate freely around your amp's ventilation slots.

•Place the amp on a stable platform where it is not exposed to mechanical shocks and temperature extremes which may damage the amp or endanger the safety of bystanders.

•Hughes & Kettner is not liable for any damage to the amp due to improper use.

NOTE: Although we select our tubes according to the highest stan- dards for quality, these are nonetheless sensitive components. Their service life may be shortened considerably

by improper handling. Just like a top-notch athlete, they need to warm up before they're off to the races. Always power the amp up in STANDBY mode and wait one to two minutes before you flip the switch from STANDBY mode to ON.
