Initial Setup and Assembly
!
Warning
1.Never remove the bottom panel of the amplifier. There are no fuses or user serviceable
components in the amplifier, and dangerous voltages could be present if the bottom cover is removed. Removal of this cover or any tampering with the amplifier will immediately void the warranty.
2.Never plug the amplifier into the power source without all tubes in place and the protective tube covers attached to the top plate of the chassis.
3.Always use a correctly grounded power outlet to ground the chassis of the amplifier. If there is any question about this refer to your dealer/importer or a qualified electrician.
4.Never connect the amplifier to any other audio components until directed to proceed later in this manual.
Assembling the SET 40 requires that the 845 power triodes be placed in the tube sockets prior to plugging the amplifier into the power outlet.
NOTE: This procedure is not difficult or dangerous if done according to the following instructions, but it does require some care in handling the 845 tube. If you are unsure of yourself or would like more help than can be given in this manual, please contact your dealer, who will be pleased to help you set the SET 40 up. All of our dealers are chosen with this service in mind, and we urge you to request dealer assistance in setting up your system.
Follow these steps in inserting or changing the
845 tube. (Total time for this procedure: approximately 15 minutes.)
1.Be certain the SET 40 is not connected to a power source. This is the most important step! The amplifier could be damaged if power is applied without the tubes in place and extremely dangerous voltages are present and assessable at the tube sockets if power is on!
2.Remove the 845 tube from its wrapping. It is important for tube life that oils from your hands do not get on the upper part of the glass tube envelope. Insert the 845 into the large socket, taking care to line up the bayonet pin protruding from the metal base of the tube with the slot in the tube socket.
3.Push down on the tube until you feel that the pin has reached the bottom of the slot in the socket. Some force and slight movement of the tube may be required to get the tube to clear the contacts and go down far enough so that the tube can rotate. Do not apply too much rotational force until you are
