[. . . ] If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with the amplifier. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage to your audio system or your amplifier which is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. General precautions Before installing and using your new amplifier, please become familiar with all the information contained in this manual. Dangerous high voltages are present which may result in electric shock. · To avoid risk of electronic shock or damage to the amplifier, do not permit any of this equipment to become damp or wet from water or drinks. [. . . ] If this does occur, immediately unplug the power wires and send the amplifier to your local dealer or service center as soon as possible. Mounting the amplifier 1. Find a suitable location in the vehicle in which to mount the amplifier. Make sure there is sufficient air circulation around the intended mounting location. OL10000 · OL8000 · OL6000 Amplifier User's Manual - page 3 3. Mark the location for the mounting hole screws by positioning the amplifier where you wish to install it. Use a scribe or mounting screw, inserted through each of the amp's mounting holes, to mark the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is carpeted, measure the hole centers and mark with a felt tip pen. Place the amplifier in position, and attach the amplifier to the mounting surface securely using screws. 4. Then connect the fuse holder to the "BATT+" connection on the amplifier. If multiple amplifiers are being used in your system, either: · Run a separate pair of cables from the battery and a chassis ground point to each amplifier. -or· Run a #0 cable from the fuse holder at the battery to a distribution block at or near the amplifier's location. A different type of fuse or rating may result in damage or cause a fire. Don't misuse the level control! Do not mistake the input level control for a volume control!It is designed ONLY to match the output level of your audio source to the input level of your amplifier. Do not adjust this input level to maximum unless your input level requires it. Ignoring these instructions will result in an input overload to the amplifier, and excessive audio distortion. There are no user-serviceable parts within the unit.
