ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
This vacuum cleaner has been designed for dry vacuum cleaning only and
must not be used to pick up any liquids.
Cable & Plug
These vacuum cleaners are Class 1 earthed machines and have 10 metres of 3 core supply cable with a moulded
on impact resistant 13amp 3 pin UK plug. The fuse fi tted is approved and rated at 13amps. Only 13amp fuses
must be used (Not applicable to 110V models – these are fi tted with a yellow 16 amp 3 pin plug).
Should the moulded on plug be damaged please follow this procedure:
Switch off supply at socket, remove damaged plug from socket, cut plug off from fl ex.
Make sure the damaged plug is disposed of immediately so there is no chance of the damaged plug being used.
Fitting a Replacement Plug
Use only a 13amp approved plug. To fi t proceed as follows:
1) Ensure that the lengths of wire to be fi tted inside the plug have been cut to the correct length and the end
correctly prepared. When preparing the cable ends take care not to damage the
outer sheath, or the insulation surrounding the inner conductors.
2)
Connect the blue (NEUTRAL) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter “N”.
3) Connect the brown (LIVE) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter “L”.
4) Connect the green/yellow (EARTH) wire to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter “E”.
5)
Tighten all screws. Ensure that all conductor strands have entered into the terminal
posts and that the mains lead is securely held in place by the cable clamp.
6)
Ensure that the plug is fi tted with a 13amp approved fuse. Replace the top cover of the plug and secure.
Extension Cable
If using an extension cable always ensure that the insulation sheath is in good condition and is not damaged in
any way. Make sure that the socket is fi tted to the extension cable correctly – if in doubt have it checked by a
qualifi ed electrician. Always use the extension cable in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
