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 THIS 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.
1. SAFETY 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.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be 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 are 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. Have any faulty item repaired
or replaced immediately by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved 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 extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

g.1
WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
4.1. The compressor should be located and operated in a position that allows good air circulation around the unit. Locate the compressor
in a convenient position for the work to be undertaken. Ensure that it is standing on a stable and level surface. Ensure the feet/wheels
are in direct contact with the surface.
4.2. Attach the required air tool to the air outlet. (fig1.B)
4.3. Plug the mains plug into a mains electrical socket, but do not switch the compressor on until the workpiece and air tool are fully
prepared.
4.4. Switch on the unit by pulling the red On/Off switch outwards(fig 1.A).
4.5. The output pressure is regulated by the pressure regulator. (fig 1.C). Turn the regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure to
the required level and vice-versa.The setting can then be retained by tightening the red locking ring below the knob.
When the compressor is not being used, set the regulated pressure to zero so as to avoid damaging the regulator.
4.5.1. The right-hand pressure gauge (fig 1.E) indicates the pressure inside the main tank. The left-hand gauge (fig.1.D) indicates the
pressure supplied to the air equipment. The pressure switch stops the motor when the maximum tank pressure is reached and
restarts it when pressure falls below the minimum threshold - approximately 2bar (29psi) less than the maximum pressure.

WARNING! DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the pre-set pressure switch or safety valve.
4.5.2. Should there appear to be any loss of efficiency when using the compressor, ensure first that the air tool is clean and functioning
properly. If the air tool is satisfactory then refer to the trouble shooting guide.
4.6. DO NOT leave the compressor running for any length of time with the air tool attached, but not being used. If there is a pause in the
work, switch the compressor off. If the motor over-heats, the thermal cut-out will operate and cut the motor out. When the temperature
has returned to normal, the motor will re-start automatically.
4.7. These compressors are designed with a 30% duty cycle. This means that the machines should not be used for more than 20 minutes
continuously, with a rest period of 40 minutes.
4.8. If the operating note of the compressor changes, there may be a blockage within the tool, or the air hose may be pinched. The unit
should be switched off immediately, and the source of the blockage investigated and eliminated, before re-starting.
4.9. When work is complete, switch the compressor off by pushing the red On/Off switch inwards.
4.9.1. Operate the air tool to clear any pressure left in the air hose.
4.9.2. Disconnect the air tool from the compressor.
4.9.3. Open the drain tap at the bottom of the tank (figs.2 & 3) briefly to release any trapped moisture. This helps prevent corrosion on the
inside of the tank. Close drain tap.
4.10. If it is intended to store the compressor away, allow it to cool before storing it carefully in a safe, dry, dust free, childproof location.
5. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
Before carrying out any maintenance, switch compressor off, unplug it from the mains electricity supply, depressurise the
tank and allow unit to fully cool down.
5.1. Keep the compressor clean and free of dust. Do not use cleaning agents. Wipe the compressor using a slightly dampened cloth and
blow it over with compressed air, if available.
5.2. Ensure that the ventilation openings are clear. DO NOT allow any extraneous material to enter the unit via any of the ventilation
openings.
5.3. To help prevent corrosion to the tank, drain it on a regular basis by opening the drain tap at the bottom of the tank, after draining
ensure the drain tap is fully closed.
5.4. To examine the internal condition of the tank: unplug from the mains supply, release
pressure by means of the drain tap. Remove drain tap from tank and inspect by using an
borescope inserted through the drain tap boss.
5.5. The troubleshooting guide below is intended to give an indication of the type of fault
which may develop with the compressor over a long period of service. The chart is
not intended as a guide on how to repair the fault, it is recommended that the
compressor is returned to an authorised service agent for rectification of serious faults.
5.6. IMPORTANT WARNING Air contaminants taken into the compressor will affect optimum performance.
Example: Body ller dust or paint overspray will clog the pump intake lter and may
cause internal damage to pump/motor components. Please note that any parts damaged
by any type of contamination will not be covered by warranty.
