Important Safeguards and Precautions:All Ampeg products are designed for continuous safe operation, as long as common sense is used and steps are taken to
help avoid certain problems. Abiding by the following rules can help prevent damage to your preamp, yourself and others.
•The amplifier is equipped with a three-pronged AC power cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
NEVER remove or otherwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord.
•Connect the amplifier ONLYto a properly grounded AC outlet of the proper voltage for your amp.
•Avoid sudden temperature extremes, rain and moisture. Also, avoid sudden and intense impact. (If the unit
has been subjected to any of the preceding abuses, have it looked at by an authorized service center.)
•Never set the amplifier on a support that might give out under its weight.
•When using tall or stacked speaker cabinets, use them ONLYon a level surface. NEVER set tall or stacked
cabinets on a surface with more than a five degree incline since tipping or falling could occur, possibly caus-
ing serious injuries.
•Always keep the total speaker impedance at or above the rated load.
•Unplug the amplifier before cleaning it. NEVER spray liquid cleaners onto the amp. Wipe it with a slightly
dampened, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and film.
•Don’t use the amplifier if it has sustained damage to the chassis, controls, or power cord. Refer the unit to
an authorized service center for inspection.
•Amplifiers capable of producing high volume levels are also capable of inflicting permanent hearing loss or
damage, if the exposure to such levels is prolonged. Such damage is progressive and irreversible!
