Important: to reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. remember to review warning marks on all products and on
engines.
modern vehicles contain extensive electronic systems. You are required to check with the vehicle manufacturer, for any specic
instructions regarding the use of this type of equipment on each vehicle. no liability will be accepted for damage / injury, where this
product is not used in accordance with all instructions.
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.
1.1.1. You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.2. 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.
1.1.3. 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.
1.1.4. 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.
1.1.5. ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.6. regularly inspect power supply leads, plugs for wear and damage and power connections, to ensure that none is loose or damaged.
1.1.7. Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is tted with the
correct fuse - see fuse rating in these instructions.
8 do not pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
8 do not pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
8 do not use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. ensure that any faulty item is repaired or
replaced immediately by a qualied electrician.
1.1.8. This product is tted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug.
if the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch the electricity supply and remove from use.
Ensure that repairs are carried out by a qualied electrician.
Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact a qualied electrician.
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’.
ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected. sealey
recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualied electrician.
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 extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.
1.2. eLectrIcaL saFety In reLatIon to Battery chargers

warnIng! modern vehicles contain extensive electronic systems.
You are required to check with the vehicle Manufacturer, for any specic instructions regarding the use of this type of equipment on
each vehicle.
No liability will be accepted for damage / injury, where this product is not used in accordance with all instructions.
1.3. personaL precautIons
9 ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice and close enough to come to your aid, should a problem arise when
working near a lead-acid battery.
9 Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
9 Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
9 Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. if acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean
running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
9 remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
which is high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which would cause severe burns.
9 ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long hair.
8 do not smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.
1.4. chargIng saFety InstructIons
9 familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the starter as well as the potential hazards. Also refer to the vehicle
manufacturer’s handbook. IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
9 ensure the starter is in good order and condition before use. if in any doubt do not use the unit, contact your sealey stockist.
9 use the starter in the upright position only and ensure it is placed on a stable surface which will adequately support its weight.
9 Ensure the starter is disconnected from the mains supply before attaching/detaching the power clamps to/from the battery.
9 Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
9 ensure the output of the starter is the same voltage as the battery.
9 if battery has caps to access the battery fluid, remove the caps and check the fluid level before connecting the power clamps.
9 If necessary top-up the battery with distilled water by referring to the battery manufacturer’s instructions (Apply the personal safety
9 precautions described in part 1.3).
9 if the starter receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
