INTO THE PRODUCT.
1. Mains Cables and Extension Cables are avail-
able from your local Approved Service Centre.
2. Do not wire an extension cable directly to your
product yourself. Please contact your local Ap-
proved Service Centre for further information on
the connectors and kits available.
3. Only use extension cables specifically de-
signed for outdoor use.
4. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be re-
placed by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid
a hazard.
CONNECTORS
Our connectors are suitable for use with 2 core
cable only. Under no circumstances should these
connectors be used for earthed products.
All of our connectors and cables are of splash-
proof construction. They are not waterproof and
must not be left outside permanently nor should
they be submerged or immersed in water. Do not
let cable lay or trail through pools of water or
splashed with water from hose pipes.
MAINS PLUG REPLACEMENT
•
If the plug supplied is cut off it should be de-
stroyed. There is an electric shock hazard if a
cut off plug is inserted into a 13 amp socket.
1. No earth required. Our products are double in-
sulated to EN60335 and under no circum-
stances should an earth be connected to any
part of the product.
2. Ensure the mains voltage suits your product.
3. IMPORTANT!
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-
dance with the following code:
BLUE -
NEUTRAL
BROWN
-
LIVE
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be con-
nected to the Terminal which is marked with the
letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK. The wire which is
coloured BROWN must be connected to the Ter-
minal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or
coloured RED.
4. It is important that the outer sheath is clamped
correctly into the 3-pin plug.
5. If in doubt consult your local Service Repairer
or qualified electrician before the machine is
used.
6. A 5 Amp fuse must be fitted to the Mains Plug.
7. The normal plug fuse and household fuse only
protect the electrical equipment and are not a
safeguard against electrocution.
If your product is hard wired i.e. non-detachable
mains electric cable, a conversion kit and exten-
sion cable is available from all Approved Service
Centres which can be found in your local Yellow
Pages.
