Electrical Connection
The pump is provided with a factory fitted supply cord. This must be permanently
connected to the fixed wiring of the mains supply. Means of disconnection must
be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the current electrical wiring
regulations. A double poled switched, fuse connection unit is suitable for this purpose.
This switch must comply with BS1363-4, protected with a 5 Amp fuse and should
be mounted in an easily accessible position. The switch should also be labelled,
particularly when located near to any other electrical isolating switches.

any particular regulations or practices specified by the local electricity
supply company. The installation must be carried out by a competent
person.

In the interests of electrical safety, a 30 mA Residual Current Device
(RCD) is recommended to be installed in the supply circuit. This may

supply is isolated.
