CAUTION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE REAR COVER. NO
USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER TO
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK DO NOT OPEN
IMPORTANT NOTE
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the
fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug. If it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same
rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is
required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug.
Replacement covers are available from your dealer.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a
power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for
assistance.
However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the
plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket, as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible
cord.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: -
BLUE = NEUTRAL
BROWN = LIVE
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows: -
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or
BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured
BROWN or RED.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH
THE LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL, OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.
