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 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

Original Language Version

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 in
diagram. DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.

1.1.10. 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 suitably rated supply is available. We recommend
that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug
and socket with your electrician.
 IMPORTANT! The use of extension leads to connect these
compressors to the mains is not recommended as the resulting
voltage drop reduces motor, and therefore pump performance.

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY

3 Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the
compressor.
3 Ensure the compressor is in good order and condition before
use. If in any doubt do not use the unit and contact an
electrician/service agent.

 WARNING! Compressor must only be serviced by an
authorised agent. DO NOT tamper with, or attempt to adjust,
pressure switch or safety valve.

3 Before moving, or maintaining the compressor ensure it is
unplugged from the mains supply and that the air tank pressure
has been vented.
3 Maintain the compressor in good condition and replace any
damaged or worn parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised

parts may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.

3 Read the instructions relating to any accessory to be used
with this compressor. Ensure the safe working pressure of
any air appliance used exceeds compressors output
pressure. If using a spray gun, check that the area selected
for spraying is provided with an air change system/ventilation.
3 Ensure the air supply valve is turned off before disconnecting
the air supply hose.
3 To move a transportable compressor use the handle only.
Lift the compressor so that the front leg gives enough
clearance for manoeuvring but maintain unit’s centre of
gravity in front of the wheels. DO NOT attempt to lift or move
the compressor by any other means.
3 Use the compressor in a well ventilated area and ensure it is
placed on a firm surface.
3 Keep tools and other items away from the compressor when
it is in use, and keep area clean and clear of unnecessary
items.

3 Ensure the air hose is not tangled, twisted or pinched.
3 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the

working area.

3 Only move the compressor by the handle (if portable).
7 DO NOT dis-assemble compressor for any reason. The unit

must be checked by qualified personnel only.
7 DO NOT use the compressor outdoors, or in damp, or wet,
locations.
7 DO NOT operate within the vicinity of flammable liquids,
gases or solids.
7 DO NOT touch compressor cylinder, cylinder head or pipe
from head to tank as these may be hot.
7 DO NOT use this product to perform a task for which it has
not been designed.
7 DO NOT deface the certification plate attached to the
compressor tank.
7 DO NOT cover the compressor or restrict air flow around the
unit whilst operating.
q DANGER! DO NOT direct the output jet of air towards
people or animals.

7 DO NOT operate the compressor without an air filter.
7 DO NOT allow anyone to operate the compressor unless

they have received full instructions.
 WARNING! The air tank is a pressure vessel and the
following safety measures apply:
7 DO NOT tamper with the safety valve, DO NOT modify or alter
the tank in any way and DO NOT strap anything to the tank.
7 DO NOT subject the tank to impact, vibration or to heat and
DO NOT allow contact with abrasives or corrosives.
3 Drain condensation from tank daily and inspect inside walls
for corrosion every three months and have a detailed tank
inspection carried out annually. The tank shell must not fall
below the certified thickness at any point.
 WARNING! If an electrical fuse blows, ensure it is replaced
with an identical fuse type and rating.
3 When not in use, store the compressor carefully in a safe,
dry, childproof location.

3

When the compressor is not in use, it should be

switched off, disconnected from the mains supply and
the air drained from the tank.

3. PREPARATION

3.1. Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any

shortages 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. We recommend that you 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. Assemble the xed wheels / castor wheel / rubber feet
to the compressor as required (see g.1).

3.4. Confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage
shown on the compressor data plate.

3.5. Position the compressor on a at surface or with a maximum
permissible inclination of 10° (g.2). Site in a well ventilated

area, protected against atmospheric pollution and not in a
place subject to explosion hazard. If the surface is inclined and
smooth, check if the compressor moves whilst in operation – if
it does, secure the wheels with two wedges. If the surface is in
a raised position, make sure it cannot fall, securing it in a
suitable way.
