Integrated preamp outputs

I have a Belles Aria solid state integrated with preamp outs. I would like to try it as a preamp only on my tube amps. Is it safe to have no speaker load on the unused amp section of the Belles integrated?
Thanks

Back in the Days of Yore my Marantz 2270 receiver had pre-outs and amp-ins RCA jacks for versatility. Transistor amps don't need to be loaded - unlike tube amps which will suffer damage to the output transformers.
