Crate Amplifiers DX-112 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
Important Safeguards and Precautions
All Crate products are designed for continuous safe operation, as long as common sense is used and steps
are taken to help avoid certain problems. Abiding by the following rules can help prevent damage to your
amplifier, yourself and others.
The amplifier is equipped with a three-pronged AC power cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
NEVER remove or otherwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord.
Connect the amplifier ONLY to a properly grounded AC outlet of the proper voltage for your pre-
amp.
Avoid sudden temperature extremes, rain and moisture. Also, avoid sudden and intense impact. (If the
amplifier has been subjected to any of the preceding abuses, have it looked at by an authorized ser-
vice center.)
Unplug the amplifier before cleaning it. NEVER spray liquid cleaners onto the preamp. Wipe it with a
slightly dampened, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and film.
Don’t use the amplifier if it has sustained damage to the chassis, controls, or power cord. Refer the
unit to an authorized service center for inspection.
NOTE: Amplifiers capable of producing high volume levels are also capable of inflicting permanent
hearing loss or damage, if the exposure to such levels is prolonged. Such damage is progressive and
irreversible! Caution is advised and ear protection is recommended when playing at extreme-
ly loud levels.
The chart below shows the U.S. Government Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
regulations which were in effect at the time of this publication for permissible noise exposure, per
29CRF1910, Table G-16.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of those listed above could result in some hearing loss.
