240V Operation ONLY

Add one jumper as shown.

Complete the wiring for the rocker switch, IEC and grounds as shown.

Be sure to allow

sufficient length for all wires – it's a good idea to 'lay it all out' first before cutting the wires

to the appropriate length.

The ground lugs connection point is located on the chassis

bottom, between the Mains transformer and the back panel, as shown.
