My manual is a bit more harsh

Section 5-7

Short Circuit Test: Drive the left channel with a 200 Hz signal to an output level of 53VRMS . Now short the output terminals with a jumper wire for 2 to 4 seconds. Remove the jumper wire and verify that the amplifier resumes normal operation. Repeat for the right channel.

Notice they didn't say...." hook up an 8 ohm load...." an unloaded 53 vmrs is not like a loaded 53vrms...

I did not notice that, it probably should state to an open load.

I still would not attempt that test, unless I had a large stock of outputs. Sounds like a pretty good stress test.

It is.....
