1.1. eLeCtRICaL safety
WaRNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A
Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an
RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
you must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The electricity at Work act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & safety at Work act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical
safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure
that none is loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be used and that
the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOt pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOt pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOt use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above
the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GReeN/yeLLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘e’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUe neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) after wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation
extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOt connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Products which require more than 13amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to
ensure that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and
socket with your electrician.
1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that
the capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the
use of 2.5mm² section cable. If an extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.

Note: To vacuum large quantities of liquid, from a sink or tank etc, DO NOt immerse the nozzle completely in the liquid, leave a gap (fig.6) at the
top of the nozzle opening to allow an air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve which stops the suction action when the tank has reached
its maximum capacity. The user will notice an increase in motor speed. When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply,
remove the head from the container and empty the liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the head and proceed.
After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and unplug from the power supply. Empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside before
storage.
Remember! After wet vacuuming the foam filter must be removed and a cartridge filter must be fitted before dry vacuuming again.
Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply. Make sure the drum is clean and free from dust and dirt.

WaRNING! Not designed for liquid storage. always empty liquids after use before storing.
9.1. Handle the filter carefully when cleaning or installing. Unlock and carefully remove the cartridge filter and inspect it for damage. A filter
that has small holes or tears in it will not perform efficiently and should be replaced.
9.2. To clean a dry filter, tap it inside a waste bin. (The cartridge filter is designed for dry vacuuming only). Should the filter be inadvertently
wetted it should be rinsed from the inside and allowed to air dry for 24 hours.
