outside the scope of the warranty may be subject to charges Including, but not lim-
ited to parts, labour and carriage costs. Consumable items such as fuses are not cov-
ered by the warranty.
In the unlikely event of warranty claims, contact your distributor as soon as possible.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand
and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe.
You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for wear or
damage.
You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appro-
priate safety devices; A residual current circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated
in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a residual current device
(RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are
plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a
qualified electrician.
Connecting to the power supply:
The SIP P440 starter / charger is fitted with a standard 230v ~ 13 amp type plug, the
P560 comes with no plug fitted as it needs a supply of 16 amps to work correctly (see
specifications). Before using the starter / charger, inspect the mains lead and plug to
ensure that neither are damaged. If any damage is visible have the starter / charger
inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the
plug a heavy duty impact resistant plug would be preferable.
