ASHDOWN ENGINEERING - AGM
Your amplifier is covered by a Five Year warranty, against defects in materials and workmanship,
for the original purchaser. Ashdown will, at their discretion, replace or repair any product or
part thereof, which is found by Ashdown to be defective. This warranty shall not apply to the
damage of covering, fittings or finishes when affected by carelessness, accident or extreme
climate changes. Nor does it apply to normal wear and tear of parts such as valves, fuses, light
bulbs, speakers, controls etc. In the unlikely event of any defect, please contact an authorised
Ashdown dealer. All transport charges are to be pre-paid by the Owner. Unless your purchase is
registered on-line, normal country warranty laws apply.
This Ashdown amplifier has been designed to provide you with many years of faithful service
– on the road, in a studio or in a domestic environment. By following the rules set out below,
you will ensure that the unit functions safely. Valve (tube) instrument amplifiers contain very
high voltages and fragile glass tubes and should therefore be handled with care. A number of
important precautions which must be observed are set out below. If you are in any doubt about
any aspect of the amplifier's operation, stop using it immediately and do not resume operation
until the amplifier has been thoroughly inspected by a qualified technician.
When your amplifier is not in use make sure that the power cord is unplugged from the mains
outlet, and that all leads are removed from the amplifier, including jack leads and footswitch
leads. Jack socket connectors are self-cleaning, so the process of plugging in and unplugging
the leads when not in use will ensure that the internal contacts will be cleaned when you plug in
again. Store your amplifier in a warm, dry place away from moisture and condensation. A motor
vehicle or cellar may look dry but condensation can form inside the unit causing short circuits
and possible electric shock. If you suspect the amplifier may have become exposed to moisture,
move it to a warm dry place and leave it to dry out for at least 48 hours before attempting to use
it. Condensation can also occur when you move the amplifier from a hot humid place (such as a
nightclub) to a cold place (like a motor vehicle). In such instances, always move the amplifier into
a warm dry room to prevent damage. When moving the amplifier, handle it as carefully as you
would your instruments. Although solidly built, an amplifier is easily damaged by shock, so be
careful not to drop it or allow it to fall over. Use a protective cover to protect the finish and, if you
are transporting it with other equipment, make sure that the amplifier is on a solid floor at the
bottom of the pile. Amplifiers are heavy. Take care when lifting, always use the handles fitted to
the amplifier to move it, and get help if you have to lift the amplifier to a greater height than you
feel comfortable with. Never attempt to operate the amplifier after it has been dropped. Take it
to a qualified technician and have it checked before using it again.
