Default Evo Aqua Air Pump - 70lpm

Hi All, newbie here! looking for some advice.

Does anyone have a clue why they have put the continental style 2 pronged plugs on these air pumps. Just picked one up and was going to set-up right away, and the destructions are about as clear as mud!

Would i be ok to cut it off and put a normal three pronger on, or is there a safety reason of sorts, as to why this type of plug is fitted?

Ta in advance.

B & D

Hi there, just cut iit off and fit the standard british type; there are no 'safety' reasons, you'll probably find it's just a twin flex (no earth) that feeds it?
