Step 7.
Replace the cap and turn clockwise with the 5 cent piece or flat blade screwdriver.

We had to improvise when we left our 240 volt lead at home, what we did was use a 3 pin lead for a computer which can be bought in just about any town around the country. ( For us it was better to pay $15 than $42 for the one with the decal on the packet ).
The only difference we could see was that the computer lead wasn't at right angle to the plug but it didn't matter for us as there was plenty of room to get the plug into the socket on the engel.
