6.This product should be located so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. It should not be placed flat against a wall or placed in a built up enclosure that will impede the flow of cooling air.
7.This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as stove, radiator, or another heat producing amplifier.
8.Connect only to a power supply of the type marker on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.
9.Never break off the ground pin on a power supply cord.
10.Power supply cords should always be handled carefully. Never walk or place equipment on power supply cords. Periodically check cords for cuts or signs of stress, especially at the plug and the point where the chord exits the unit.
11.The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be unused for long periods of time.
12.If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.
13.The user should allow easy access to any mains plug, mains coupler and mains switch used in conjunction with this unit thus making it readily operable.
14.Metal parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The vinyl covering used on some units can be cleaned with a damp cloth or ammonia based household cleaner if necessary. Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.

17.The user should not attempt to service the equipment. All service work is done by a qualified service technician.
18.Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing gloss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposure.
Duration Per Day In Hours |
Sound Level dBA, slow response |

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure exceeds the limits set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your decision to purchase a Laney amplifier.
Laney products are designed with ease of operation as a primary objective, however to ensure you derive the best from your new amplifier, it is important you take time to read this user manual and to familiarise yourself with the control functions and facilities available
BEFORE
SWITCHING ON
After unpacking your amplifier check that it is factory fitted with a three pin 'grounded' (or earthed) plug. Before plugging into the power supply ensure you are connecting to a grounded earth outlet.
If you should wish to change the factory fitted plug yourself, ensure that the wiring convention applicable to the country where the amplifier is to be used is strictly conformed to. As an example in the United Kingdom the cable colour code for connections are as follows.
EARTH OR GROUND - GREEN/YELLOW
NEUTRAL - BLUE
LIVE - BROWN
This manual has been written for easy access of information. The front and rear panels of each unit are graphically illustrated, with each control and feature numbered. For a description of the function of each control feature, simply check the number with the explanations adjacent to each panel.
Your Laney valve amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery inspection, involving actual play testing, as well as valve burn in. Valves are the most important component in your Laney valve amp. However they are also the most fragile
component. The glass envelope and valve filaments can easily be damaged in transit without any apparent signs of damage to the box, amp or valves. Valve damage is however quite simple to diagnose and even more simple to remedy. These procedures are explained later in this manual..
When you first recieve your Laney valve amp, follow these simple procedures:
(i)Ensure that the amplifier is set at the correct voltage for the country it is to be used in.
(ii)Connect your instrument with a high quality sheilded instrument cable. Use of cheap cables will compromise the sound of your instrument and your amplifier.
