TOP Panel Features

Control Panel Cover

The amplifier’s gain and filter controls are mounted under the elliptical control panel cover. Magnets hold the cover snugly and allow easy access.

To install the cover - Place the straight end of the control panel cover into the notched end of the amplifier’s top panel while elevating the curved end. Lower the curved end of the cover until the magnets make contact.

To remove the cover - Place a finger on the curved end of the cover while lifting up the straight end with your thumb. When the magnets lose contact, lift and remove the cover.

Illuminated Window Alignment

The illuminated window comes attached to the control panel cover with a light adhesive tape. An additional supply of precut adhesive tape is included in the hardware pack.

1.Firmly hold the control panel cover while gently pressing against the window from the top. If the window will not release easily use a small flat tool to pry it loose. Pry slowly and evenly from several points to avoid deforming or

cracking the window.

2.Apply two of the precut pieces of adhesive tape to the corners of the window that don't have tape. Make sure to apply the tape to the side that makes contact with the cover. Save the other two precut pieces of tape for future use.

3.Turn the illuminated window so the Viper snake logo will be in an upright position when the cover is re-attached to the amplifier. Press the window onto the underside of the control panel cover using the positioning pins for alignment.

Viper Badge Mounting

The Viper Badge can be rotated in 90- degree increments to accommodate the amplifier’s final mounting position.

1.Determine the final mounting posi- tion of the amplifier.

2.Determine the position required for the badge to be viewed horizontally.

3.Remove the protective cover for the adhesive tape on the under side of the badge.

4.Align the badge guideposts with the holes in the amplifier top panel.

5.Press down firmly until the logo is securely attached to the amplifier.
