fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at
the connection points of most good quality plugs.

ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the
outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two
leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.
