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 amplifier, yourself and oth-
ers.
The amplifier is equipped with a three-pronged AC power cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, NEVER remove or oth-
erwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord.
Connect the amplifier ONLY to 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.
Whenever using tall or stacked speaker cabinets, use them ONLY on 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 causing 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 amplifier. 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 ser-
vice 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!

CAUTION: OUR AMPLIFIERS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS. CONTINUED EXPOSURE TO HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS CAN CAUSE PERMANENT
HEARING IMPAIRMENT OR LOSS. USER CAUTION IS ADVISED AND EAR PROTECTION IS RECOMMENDED IF UNIT IS OPERATED AT HIGH VOLUME. The chart below shows the U.S.
Government Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations which were in effect at the time of this publication for permissible noise exposure, per 29CRF1910, Table G-16.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of those listed above could result in some hearing loss.
