GENERAL NOTES
LOCATION & VENTILATION
The Manley 440/200 Monoblock Amplifiers must be installed in a stable location with ample ventilation. Allow a
minimum of 2 inches of clearance on the top and sides of the amplifiers, such that a constant flow of air can flow.
Do not place amplifiers directly on high pile carpet or any other surface that will block the ventilation vents
underneath the amplifiers. If you have small children or pets, you should consider placing the amplifiers out of
reach to prevent damage to the amplifier or damage to your small children or pets by the amplifier as the tubes do
get hot during operation.
WATER & MOISTURE
As with any electrical equipment, these amplifiers should not be used near water or moisture. If liquid enters the
amplifier, it must be immediately returned to your dealer for servicing.
SERVICING
The user should not attempt to service the amplifier beyond that described in the owner's manual. Refer all
servicing other than biasing and tube replacement to Manley Laboratories
SPECIAL NOTES
Tubes may become loose during transit. Straighten and press down each tube before plugging the amplifier into
the mains socket. Furthermore, do not touch the tubes after the amplifier has been switched on, as the tubes
become very hot during operation and should only be handled after the power has been turned off and the tubes
have cooled.
Your amplifier has been factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country. The voltage setting is marked
on the serial badge, located on the rear panel. Check that this complies with your local supply.
Export units for certain markets have a moulded mains plug fitted to comply with local requirements. If your unit does not have a plug fitted
the coloured wires should be connected to the appropriate plug terminals in accordance with the following code.
GREEN/YELLOW
EARTH
terminal
BLUE
NEUTRAL terminal
BROWN

terminal
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as
follows;
The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety
earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter L or coloured RED.
DO NOT CONNECT/SWITCH ON THE MAINS SUPPLY UNTIL ALL OTHER CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE.
