Care of your Laney amplifier will prolong it's life.....and yours!.
After unpacking your amplifier check that it is factory fitted with a three pin
'grounded' (or earthed) plug. Before plugging into the power supply ensure you are
connecting to a grounded earth outlet.
If you should wish to change the factory fitted plug yourself, ensure that the wiring
convention applicable to the country where the amplifier is to be used is strictly
conformed to.
As an example in the United Kingdom the cable colour code for
connections are as follows.
EARTH OR GROUND - GREEN/YELLOW
NEUTRAL - BLUE
LIVE - BROWN

Your Laney RICHTER bass amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery
inspection, involving actual play testing, as well as burn in.
When you first receive your Laney RICHTER bass amp, follow these simple procedures:
(i) Ensure that the amplifier is set at the correct voltage for the country it is to
be used in.
(ii) Connect your instrument with a high quality shielded instrument cable. Use of
cheap cables will compromise the sound of your instrument and your amplifier.
