REPLACING THE FUSE

If the amplifier does not operate, you might need to replace the fuse on the back of the amplifier with the supplied (or another) 3- amp, 250-volt fuse.

Important: Let the amplifier cool down and see if it starts again before you assume a fuse needs to be replaced.

Caution: Do not use a fuse with ratings other than those specified. Doing so might damage your amplifier.

1.Unplug the amplifier.

2.Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the fuse holder cap on the back of the ampli- fier, then pull out the cap to remove the fuse.

3.If the fuse is blown, replace it.

4.Insert the fuse into the fuse holder’s socket, press the fuse holder back into the amplifier, then use a Phillips screw- driver to replace the fuse holder cap.
