Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating
plate of your charger unit corresponds with
your house electricity which must be A.C.
(alternating current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance the plug should be removed and
the appropriate one fitted.
IMPORTANT: The plug removed from
the mains lead, if severed, must be
destroyed as a plug with a bared flexible

require changing a 13 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.
When using this appliance outdoors it
should be additionally protected by a RCCB
(Residual Current Circuit Breaker).
