I always, when replacing cord (I use a polarized cord) attach the hot to the fuse and the neutral to the transformer (return). Does it matter, probably not but standard design suggests the hot is fused.

We want as little of the electrics to be hot when the switch is open. Looking at the schematic:
With the switch open:
If the active/hot is on the right, everything under the transformer is connected to hot except the main fuse. Bumping the reset coils hurts and there's no fuse in the circuit if you ground them.
If the active/hot is on the left, the active/hot is connected to the fuse and then the switch.
"Therefore we want the active/hot to go to the fuse and the neutral to complete the circuit on the transformer."
