1.1. eleCTriCal safeTY
warninG! it is the user’s responsibility to check the following:
check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. inspect power supply leads, plugs and all
electrical connections for wear and damage. sealey recommend that an rcd (residual current device) is used with all electrical
products. You may obtain an rcd by contacting your local sealey stockist.
if the product is used in the course of business duties, it must be maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAt (Portable Appliance
test) tested.
electrical safety information: it is important that the following information is read and understood.
1.1.1. ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.
1.1.2. regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.
1.1.3. 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.
1.1.4. 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.
Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualied electrician.
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.
Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. in this case you MusT contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a suitable supply is available. We recommend fitting a 16A plug and connecting to a 20A supply protected by a type C circuit breaker.
if in any doubt take the advice of a qualified electrician.
1.1.5. 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 2.5mm ² section cable. A waterproof plug and socket should be fitted.
1.2. General safeTY
warninG! Water and electricity are dangerous partners. Be extremely cautious and always be aware that this device uses an
electric motor. Always plug into a rcd (see electrical safety above). unplug from mains before changing accessories or servicing.
warninG! Do noT use the washer if any part of the unit, gun, nozzle, detergent tank, hose or cables is damaged. replace or
repair using genuine parts only. unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty. Always check connections
are correctly secured and not cracked or damaged in any way before using the machine.
warninG! use washer on a flat, level surface, in an upright position. failure to do so will invalidate your warranty. neVer lay the
washer down during use.
9 ensure you comply with all local water supply regulations. Power washers may only be connected to mains water supply if a check
valve is installed in the supply hose, or at the tap outlet.
9 The supply hose must be reinforced, and have an internal diameter of 1/2” (13mm). The water supply must be at least equal to the
cleaner capacity. the water temperature must noT exceed 122°F (60°C). The water supply pressure must noT exceed 6 bar (90psi).
9 Always be aware of the hazards that may occur during use. study all applications and limitations of the washer before use.
9 use where air can freely circulate around the washer to avoid the machine overheating.
9 Keep the washer in good condition. use an authorised service agent to service the unit.
9 Wear adequate protective clothing, goggles and anti-slip rubber soled footwear.
9 Position the washer as near to the water supply as possible.

warninG! ensure all persons and animals keep at a minimum distance of 15mtr from the washer when in use.
warninG! the pressure washer must only be used with clean water. unfiltered water or corrosive chemicals must not be used as
these will damage the cleaner.
9 ensure the nozzle is aimed correctly at the work surface before switching the machine on.
9 Before activating the trigger, grip the gun firmly to counteract the recoil from the high pressure water jet.
warninG! Avoid sudden bursts of water as these will cause water pressure to drop and put extreme pressure on hoses and
connectors.
9 if, during operation, power failure occurs turn the electricity and water off for safety reasons.
warninG! The high pressure jet will cause loose particles to be propelled at high speed, which may cause serious injury.
warninG! Do noT operate the machine without a water supply. dry running can damage the unit seriously.
warninG! Do noT leave the washer switched on for more than 15 minutes without operating the trigger.
8 Do noT obstruct ventilation grilles during operation.
8 Do noT use the washer with flammable or toxic liquids or any other product. use only recommended detergent. unapproved detergents
may corrode the machine cover and accessories.
8 Do noT jam the trigger in the operating position.
8 Do noT adjust any internal control valves, as they have been factory set.
8 Do noT connect other appliances to the machine inlet or outlet.
8 Do noT use hoses and fittings other than those designed for use with this machine.
8 Do noT move the unit by pulling the hoses or electrical cables. use the handle and transport by means of the wheels.
8 Do noT touch plug with wet hands. to avoid the risk of electrocution keep all connections dry and off the ground.
8 Do noT direct jet against yourself, other persons, animals, electrical equipment or the machine itself.
8 Do noT use washer if you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
8 Do noT allow children or untrained persons to operate the washer.
