Note:
Always ensure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and the cor-
rect fuse protection is used. In the event of replacing the fuse always re-
place the fuse with the same value as the original.
Warning:
Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the plug.
Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse. If in doubt consult a quali-
fied electrician.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION….cont
Note:
If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply;
ensure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating.
Note:
The cross section of the extension lead should be checked so that it is
of sufficient size so as to reduce the chances of voltage drops.
