[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 543372, member: 6969"] I would definitely contact the supplier, point out the manual clearly states it should be earthed and shows a 3 core flex, yet the one you have been supplied only has a 2 core flex. They would not expect the installer to change the flex or engineer an appropriate earth connection. If I as an electrician had been called to connect that, I would be saying no, it should have a 3 core flex, the manual clearly states it is class 1 and must be earthed. A competent person could change the flex, but it depends how the connections are made you might need a crimping tool, and you would need a suitable larger cable gland for the 3 core flex, so no you should not have to be doing that sort of alteration just to make a product comply with what it says it should have.
