               Ensure that the correct colour goes to the correct pin!

Brown to the Live pin
Blue to the Neutral pin.
Green/Yellow to the Earth pin.
 

Ensure that the earth lead is the longest so that if the cable is accidently pulled out of the plug the earth lead is the last to come free.
Ensure that there is about 1mm of bare wire showing next to the terminals.
Ensure no insulation is trapped under screw heads.
If applicable, wires are to be wrapped clockwise around terminals.


Don't nick wires.
Ensure that there is no damaged insulation.
Check that there are no whiskers (stray strands of wire sticking out).
Check that all screws are tight and undamaged.
Check that the cable retaining clamp (if fitted) is tight.
Ensure that the correct fuse is fitted.
