SUPPLY. TO aCHIEVE MaxIMUM OUTPUT HOWEVER a 30aMP FUSED SUPPLY SHOULD BE USED. WE RECOMMEND YOU DISCUSS THE
INSTaLLaTION OF aN INDUSTRIaL ROUND PIN PLUG & SOCkET WITH a QUaLIFIED ELECTRICIaN.
1.2.1.
To fit a 13amp plug proceed as follows:
(UK only - see diagram on right).
Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug.
a) Connect the grEEn/yEllow earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the brown live wire to live terminal ‘l’.
c) Connect the bluE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘n’.
After wiring, check there are no bare wires, that all wires have been
correctly connected and that the wire restraint is tight.

WaRNING! It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure they are safe before using. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections
for wear and damage. You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit
Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is
particularly important to use an RCD together with portable products that are plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a
professional electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
