Mains plug

This apparatus is ﬁ tted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362

5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Reﬁ t the fuse cover.

If the ﬁ tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug ﬁ tted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed off to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

Recording and playback of material may require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performer’s Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

•

Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

•

Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

•

Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.
