Safety information

Warning

Caution

Exercise extreme caution when you operate the amplifier near an open gasoline tank or electrical wires. Failure to comply with this warning could result in injury or death.

Speaker damage can result from high volume levels.

Protect connecting wires and parts to avoid damage or short circuits.

To protect the amplifier unit, make sure the power connection from the positive (+) battery terminal to the amplifier is correctly fused.

The sound system must be turned off before checking the amplifier.

When you replace an amplifier fuse, make sure you use the same fuse type and capacity (30A).
