Since Heath did not provide a fuse in the design, I would add a 3-ampere fuse along with a 3-wire cord. Wire the cord as follows: 


Black wire to the fuse and then to Line RFC L-113 (this is the side of the AC input that goes to the power off / on portion of the mode switch). 


White wire to Line RFC L-112. 


Green wire directly to the chassis.

What is the proper fuse value for the DX-40?
