IIffoRTAHT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING.

Any person performing the procedures described in this

manual will be exposed to hazardous voltages and the
risk of electric shock.
Carver Corporation assumes that any person who removes
the cover f ron the unit has been properly trained in
protecting against avoidable injury and shock.
Therefore, the procedures described here are to be
performed by qualif led electronics service personnel
Only .
We recommend that the unit be tested only when line
isolation is provided by an isolation transformer.
The line cord of the unit must be disconnected and the
power supply capacitors fully discharged bef ore any
components are replaced. Failure to do so may result
in severe damage to the unit and the risk of electric
shock.
