Electrical Connection:
The pump is provided with a factory fitted supply cord
and plug. This must be connected to the mains supply via a 13 Amp double
pole switched, socket outlet in compliance with BS 1363-2. The socket outlet
should be mounted in an easily accessible position and should be labelled if

engaged in a live socket outlet.
The moulded plug fitted to this appliance is not waterproof - keep dry.
The supply cord is factory fitted with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the
value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to
be replaced, an ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating,

the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the
same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug (i.e. red or orange).
