HIWATT AMPLIFICATION LIMITED WARRANTY
HIWATT amplifiers are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship
for five (5) full years from the date of purchase with the exception of footswitches,
patch cords, tubes, transformers and meters; these are warranted for 90 days
from date of purchase. This warranty is to the original purchaser only and may
not be transferred. While under warranty, all replacement parts and labor will be
provided without charge. This warranty does not cover damage caused by
misuse, accident, neglect or normal wear and tear. Determination of such
damage shall be by HIWATT Amplification exclusively. The warranty will be void
if repairs have been attempted or performed by anyone other than HIWATT
Amplification.
To validate the warranty, the Warranty Registration Card must be completed and
returned to HIWATT Amplification within ten (10) days of retail purchase.
Should your HIWATT product require service, you must contact either the
HIWATT dealer you purchased it from or HIWATT Amplification directly, and the
need for return will be determined and authorized. Products returned to HIWATT
Amplification require a Return Authorization Number (RA#) on the outside of the
carton. Products needing warranty repair must be returned securely packed to
HIWATT Amplification and must be accompanied by a copy of the original sales
receipt. All transportation charges are the responsibility of the purchaser.
HIWATT Amplification reserves the right to repair or replace defective units. In
the event a duplicate part or product is no longer available, HIWATT
Amplification will replace the product with one of equal, or greater value at the
sole discretion of HIWATT Amplification.
HIWATT Amplification is not responsible for any incidental or consequential
damages resulting from any defect or failure of the product other than the repair
or replacement of the product under the terms of this warranty. This limited
warranty gives you specific legal rights which vary from state to state and is in
lieu of any and all other warranties either expressed or implied except as may
otherwise be required by law.
CUSTOM HIWATT CABINETS
Thank you for purchasing a HIWATT cabinet. The Custom HIWATT Cabinet has
been designed to compliment your Custom 50W or 100W Head perfectly. It is
ruggedly built of 3/4” marine birch and covered with the original basket weave
vinyl. It offers unique sound capabilities by virtue of its four custom designed
FANE loudspeakers. We believe these units to be the finest reproducers of a
wide range of vintage and modern guitar tones. The drive unit has been designed
to give deep warm lows, a dynamic midrange, and pure highs with a clean drive.
The unit is capable of expressing exceptional musical subtlety. In addition, it is
capable of reproducing awesome power when overdriven, as you will find when
you use your effects processor.
OPERATION
• The impedance of the enclosure is 16 Ohms. Thus it should be driven
from the 16 Ohm setting of your amplifier.
• If you drive two units then you can plug them directly into a HIWATT
amplifier and re-set the impedance selector to 8 Ohms. This is important
because if incorrect impedance is selected, the amplifier will be forced into
clipping before it can deliver its full output and a poor sound will result.
• A high quality loudspeaker lead is required to be used with your cabinet.
Microphone or guitar cables must not be used as speaker leads as these
can cause a multitude of problems and will invalidate your HIWATT
warranty.
• The single situation most likely to cause damage to a valve amplifier is
driving it into an open circuit. Never disconnect a loudspeaker lead at the
loudspeaker end if the amplifier is still operating.
• We recommend that for serious usage the cabinets be flight cased. This
maintains the look and value of your equipment and ensures that when
you come to use it there has been no accidental damage.
MAINTENANCE
HIWATT Cabinets require very little maintenance. If they receive regular heavy
use, we recommend that the back is removed periodically and the wiring and
loudspeaker fixings are checked. Tighten all screws but particularly the
loudspeaker fixings, as high sound levels tend to “bed” in the loudspeaker drive
units.
CLEANING
• Do not attempt to clean any part of the amplifier when it is switched on.
• The vinyl may be cleaned with a damp (not wet) cloth or brush.
• The chassis and front panel may be wiped with a moistened cloth with
water and mild detergent or an alcohol based cleaner and then dried.
• Do not use silicone based polishes or solvents as benzene or paint thinner
to clean the unit.
DO’s and DON’T’s
• DO always check that you have matched the loudspeaker impedance
settings.
• DO always check the amplifier voltage selector is correctly set for the wall
supply that you are using, especially when touring or in a studio setting.
• DO make sure that you use a high quality loudspeaker cable and that the
jack plug is fully inserted before playing.
• DO always disconnect the loudspeaker cable from the amplifier first.
• DON’T stack the cabinets more than two high.
• DON’T connect the loudspeaker cabinet with instrument or microphone
cables.
• DON’T disconnect a loudspeaker cabinet by the loudspeaker end, always
remove the lead at the amplifier end, particularly in the unlikely event of a
fault occurring whilst in use.
• DON’T attempt to repair or modify a HIWATT product yourself. Only
factory repairs are acceptable in warranty claims, and HIWATT
Amplification wholly and exclusively relinquish all responsibility for any unit
modified or misused in any way.
• DON’T place drinks on top of the cabinet or allow any liquid to fall in it.
• DON’T store the cabinet in wet, damp or dusty conditions.
