MODEL No: SA5040
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions and
properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS AND
CAUTIONS. USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the compressor.
Ensure that the compressor is in good order and condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit and contact a service agent.
WARNING! Compressor must only be serviced by an authorised agent. DO NOT tamper with, or attempt to adjust the pressure
switch or the safety valve.
Before moving or maintaining the compressorensure that the air tank pressure has been vented.
Only use recommended attachments and parts. Using unapproved items may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Read the instructions for any accessory used with the compressor. Ensure that the safe working pressure of any air appliance used,
exceeds the output pressure of the compressor. If using a spray gun, check that the area selected for spraying is provided with an air
change system or adequate ventilation.
Ensure that the air supply valve is turned off before disconnecting the air supply hose.
To move the compressor use the front roll bar. Lift the compressor so that the front legs have enough clearance for manoeuvring but
maintain the centre of gravity in front of the wheels. DO NOT attempt to lift or move the compressor by any other means.
Use the compressor in a well ventilated area and ensure it is placed on a firm surface. Remember that the compressor engine
produces harmful exhaust fumes.
Keep tools and other items away from the compressor when it is in use, and keep work area clean.
Ensure that air hoses are not tangled, twisted or pinched.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
DO NOT dis-assemble the compressor for any reason if you are not qualified to do so. The unit must be checked by qualified personnel only.
DO NOT operate the compressor within the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or solids.
DO NOT touch compressor cylinder, cylinder head or pipe from head to tank as these may be hot and will remain so for some time after
shutdown.
DO NOT operate the compressor without all safety guards in place.
DO NOT attempt to move the compressor by pulling the air tool hose.
DO NOT use the compressor for a task for which it is not designed.
DO NOT deface the certification plate attached to the compressor tank.
DANGER! DO NOT direct the output jet of air towards people or animals.
DO NOT operate the compressor without an air filter.
DO NOT allow anyone to operate the compressor unless they have received full instructions.
For safety instructions relative to the maintenance and use of the petrol engine - refer to the engine manufacturer’s handbook supplied.
DO NOT check the ignition system by removing the spark plug or spark plug lead. Use specific tester or contact service agent.
WARNING! DO NOT touch the spark plug or plug lead whilst the engine is running - severe, potentially fatal, electric shock may
result.
Ensure that engine fuel is stored in an approved container. For long term storage ensure that the fuel tank is drained and that the
compressor is adequately protected.
DO NOT smoke or have any naked flames nearby whilst re-fuelling.
DO NOT leave the compressor operating unattended.
DO NOT remove the fuel cap, or try to refuel whilst the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool for two minutes before
attempting to refuel.
DO NOT refuel in a closed or poorly ventilated environment as there is a danger of explosion or fire. Refuel outdoors.
DO NOT operate the compressor if there is a fuel leak. Move the unit to a safe area, where
there is no risk of ignition, until the leak has been rectified and the machine is dry.
DO NOT start the engine if there are any flammable materials near the exhaust
system or in the path of the exhaust gases.
DO NOT block the engine ventilation grilles.
DO NOT cover the compressor or restrict air flow around the machine whilst
it is operating.
WARNING! The air tank is a pressure vessel and the following safety
measures apply:
DO NOT tamper with the safety valve and DO NOT modify or alter the tank
in any way and DO NOT strap anything to the tank.
DO NOT subject the tank to impacts, vibration or to heat and DO NOT
allow contact with abrasive or corrosive materials.
DO drain condensation from tank daily and inspect inside walls for
corrosion every 12 months.
The tank shell must not fall below the certified thickness at any point.
When not in use, store the compressor carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.

2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
Fully mobile compressor powered by a Honda GC 4.0hp petrol engine coupled to a heavy-duty, twin piston, cast iron pump. Fitted heavy-duty
rubber transport wheels and protected by a 360° roll cage. Features twin gauges, air outlet regulator, and a 50 litre tank.

3. PREPARATION
3.1. Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any missing parts or damage. If anything is found to be missing or damaged
contact your supplier.
3.2. Save the packing material for future transportation of the compressor. It is recommended to store the packing in a safe location, at
least for the period of the guarantee. Then, if necessary, it will be easier to send the compressor to the service centre.
3.3. If not already fitted, fit the wheels and rubber feet to the compressor with the nuts, washers etc. supplied.
3.4. The compressor should be located in a position that allows good air circulation around the unit and where there is good ventilation.
Remember that the compressor engine produces harmful exhaust fumes.
4. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply Section 1 Safety Instructions.
4.1. STARTING
IMPORTANT! Always check and, if necessary, top-up the engine oil and the pump oil before starting. Severe engine and/or pump
damage may otherwise result.
4.1.1. Check that the air outlet valves - one on the tank end-plate (fig.1.A) and one on the regulator (fig.3.6) - are closed.
4.1.2. Start the compressor engine, following the procedure detailed in the manufacturer’s handbook supplied.
4.1.3. When the engine is running smoothly, the compressor will operate automatically, building up the pressure in the tank, which is shown on
the pressure gauge (fig.3.2), to the maximum setting (factory set). When the maximum tank pressure is reached, the relief valve (fig.2)
will automatically vent the pump output. When the tank pressure falls below the minimum threshold (approx.2 bar/29psi less
than the maximum pressure), the relief valve will automatically close, and the tank pressure will increase back to it's maximum.
Note: a) If the relief valve does not cut in and out, but is continuously closed whilst using an air appliance, the capacity of the compressor
may be too small for the equipment or tool.
b) The larger gauge (fig.3.2) indicates the pressure inside the tank, NOT the pressure supplied to the air equipment. If the pressure in
the tank exceeds the relief valve maximum, a safety valve (fig.3.1) will open. WARNING! For this reason DO NOT tamper
with, or adjust, the relief valve or the safety valve.

4.2. STOPPING.
4.2.1. To stop the compressor turn the engine ignition switch (fig.4) to Off (O). See the engine manufacturer’s handbook for the complete
engine shutdown procedure.
4.3. CONNECTING AIR POWERED EQUIPMENT.
4.3.1. After fitting the desired coupling to the outlet valve (fig.3.6), connect the air hose and equipment.
4.3.2. Adjust the regulator valve to the required output pressure (in accordance with the air equipment instructions) by turning the regulator
knob (fig.3.4) and locking it in position with the locking ring (fig.3.5), at the required pressure (see output gauge, fig.3.3). Turn on outlet
valve (fig.3.6).
Note: To determine the correct working pressure and air flow requirements for any piece of equipment check the corresponding manual. Be
aware that the air flow figure stated on tools and accessories refers to ‘Free Air Delivery’ and not the piston displacement of the
compressor. When adjusting the regulator, always adjust up to the required pressure.
4.3.3. To disconnect equipment, turn the regulator knob anti-clockwise to ‘zero’ (0) bar. Operate the equipment to depressurise the air line
and then disconnect from the compressor.
