T.Maintenance
Your AM3002 amplifier
will need minimal
maintenance. No
internal adjustments
need to be
made
to lhe unit to maintain optimum
performance.
To
provide years
ofunhindered operation we
suggest
a maintenance inspection be carried out
on a regular
basis, say every 12
months or so.
Fans
Due to the
openness of the air
path
through
your
AM3O02 amplifier, very little
dust should settle
within the amplifier. The unit has
been designed so
that any dust and/or foreig n
particles
that
do settle
within the amplifierwill
not
unduly
hinderthe cooling
ofthe unit.
The mesh
grille
in front of the fanswill
actto limitthe
amount of dusl and lint entering
the unit. You will
find in time that
there will be a build up of dust and
lintontheg llewhich
maystartto hindertheairflow
through
the unit. You should
periodically
removelhe
dust and keep the
grille
clean.
Overtime, dust may
build up on the leading edgeof
the fan
blades and reduce their cooling efficiency.
Thelime
taken forthis to happen willdepend on the
environment
and the amount of use.
The fan blades
are accessible once the lids are
removed and can be easily cleaned. You need only
hold the fan rotor still and wipe
the dust off
the
blades. Many users
stall the fan and use
compressed
airto blow the dust off the fan blades.
It is important to note that the fan blades must
be
held stillwhilst blowing
airoverthe blades otherwise
you
may
burn out the bearings in the fan.
NOTE:
Make sure the unit is off
and is unplugged
from
the
mains. Give the main
filter capacitors
time
to
discharge
before removing lids.
Only competent or
qualified persons
should
attempt any service or
