IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

HEED ALL WARNINGS.

This unit is powered by potentially hazardous voltage. Therefore, observe
the following safety precautions:

1.

Read and follow all instructions before using

product.

2. Do not use product near water (such as near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, swimming pool,
in a wet basement, etc.).

3. Unit should be located so that its location or
position does not impede the flow of air through
the ventilation openings.

4. Product should be located away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, or
other products, including amplifiers, that produce
heat.

5. Product should be connected to a power sup­ply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the product.

6. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, con­venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

7. Do not allow objects or liquids to penetrate the enclosure through openings.

8. During heavy use, chassis may get hot to the touch. Handle with care.

9. Protect unit from strong impact.

10. Unplug product before cleaning. Never spray liquid cleaners into the amp: wipe

with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and film.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. This product should be used only with a cart or stand that is recom-

mended by the manufacturer. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/product combination to avoid injury from tipping over.

13. Amplifiers may be capable of producing high volume levels that
could cause permanent hearing loss or damage, if the exposure to such levels is pro­longed. Such damage is progressive and irreversible! If you experience any hearing loss
or ringing in the ears, consult an audiologist.

14. Unplug unit during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time.

15. This unit must be earth grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, NEVER
remove or otherwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, do not expose this unit to
rain or moisture. Do not remove metal covering from chassis parts. Doing so exposes
extremely dangerous high voltages. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Hazard­ous voltages are present inside the chassis. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

CAUTION: Never modify the power cord. If original power cord becomes damaged,
frayed, or has exposed wires, replace immediately with same rating and gauge, or high­er. Replacements are commercially available or you can contact Tech 21 directly.

WARNING: Attempting to repair this unit is not recommended and may void its
warranty. NOTE: In the U.S. and Canada, servicing is performed at factory only. In
other countries, please refer repairs to the local Tech 21 authorized distributor.

FUSE

Fuse holder located inside A/C cord receptacle. You must remove power
cord to change fuse.

Replace with similar type & same value:

100-117V units use F 3A L • 230-240V units use F 1.6A L.

QUICK START AND STOP INSTRUCTIONS

Here’s how you can get your Power Engine 60 up and running before you read the
entire manual. Note: By not reading the manual, you’ll miss out on how to get the most
out of your new investment!

1. Plug your amp or pre-amp/processor output into the XLR input or 1/4” input of the
Power Engine 60.

2. Be sure your amp or pre-amp/processor is already turned on. (See “Noteworthy
Notes” #1: Powering Up and Powering Down.)

3. Be sure the volume of the Power Engine 60 is turned down. Attach the AC cord, plug
into a wall socket and turn on the Power Engine 60.

4. Play your guitar and you should hear a sound coming through the Power Engine 60. If
not, check that all volume controls are turned up, recheck your connections, and be sure
your cable isn’t faulty. If there is still no sound, refer to factory or qualified technician.

QUICK STOP: After shutting off the Power Engine 60 (or any amplifier), wait at least 10
seconds before turning it back on.
