BEFORE OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT
Warning : This equipment must be earthed!
Important for the U.K.
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied 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 or
BSI approved BS1362 of the same rating must be used. If the fuse cover is detachable, never use the
plug with 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. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points
or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then use an appropriate safety approved extension
lead or consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried out by a competent person,
preferably a qualified electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having
first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
IMPORTANT! The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code ;
Green and Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
1. The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter E or by the EARTH symbol
or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.
2. The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK.
3.The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or
RED.
