1. SAFEtY
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 stockist. 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 below.
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.

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. PREPARAtiON & ASSEMBLY
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. confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage
shown on the compressor data plate.
3.3. the compressor should be installed on a flat surface, or one
that does not exceed 10° either transversely or longitudinally,
(see fig.2) and should be in a position that allows good air
circulation around the unit.
3.4. the compressor is supplied without oil in it. the oil is in a
separate container. remove the transit plug from the oil filler
aperture, pour oil into the aperture until it has reached the
correct level on the sight (fig.3). fit the oil filler/breather
supplied into the aperture.

3.5. Ensure that the air vent in the oil filler/breather is free
from debris. if the air vent is blocked, pressure can build
up in the crankcase causing damage to the compressor
and possible personal injury.
3.6. If it is not already fitted, screw the air filter holder into the
inlet port (fig.4).

4. tOOL SELECtiON
iMPORtANt take care when selecting tools for use with
the compressor. Air tool manufacturers normally express
the volume of air required to operate a tool in cubic feet
per minute (cfm). this refers to free air delivered by the
compressor (‘air out’) which varies according to the
pressure setting. do not confuse this with the
compressor displacement which is the air taken in by
the compressor (‘air in’). ‘Air out’ is always less than ‘air
in’ - due to losses within the compressor - and so it is
important that, before choosing equipment, you study
the ‘Free Air delivery’ figures shown in the Specification
Chart.

iNStRUCtiONS.
5.1. make sure that the main switch (fig.5.1) is ‘off’ (down).
5.2. check the oil level by looking through the sight glass (fig.3).
5.3. ensure that the tank drain valve is closed (fig.1).
5.4. connect the air tool required to the compressor via an air line
connected to the air outlet.
5.5. Plug the mains plug into the mains supply and start the
compressor by pulling up the main switch (fig.5.1).
5.6. Allow the pressure in the tank to rise to the maximum at
which point the compressor will automatically cut out. tank
pressure is shown on the larger gauge (fig.5.6).
5.7. Begin to gradually open the regulator by turning the knob
clockwise (fig.5.2) until the small gauge registers the required
operating pressure specified for the tool to be used. Always
adjust up to the required pressure rather than down from a
higher pressure. the required setting, once achieved, can be
locked by screwing the locking ring (fig.5.3) up tight
underneath the adjusting knob.
5.8. You can now begin to use the tool. the compressor will
operate automatically cutting in and out as required to
restore the air pressure in the tank. the pressure switch
(fig.5.8) stops the motor when the maximum tank pressure is
reached and restarts it when pressure falls below the minimum
threshold - approx. 2 bar (29psi) less than the maximum
pressure.
Note: a) If the motor does not cut in and out, but runs continuously
when using an air appliance, the capacity of the compressor
may be too small for the appliance.
b) the main gauge (fig.5.6) indicates the pressure inside the
main tank, NOt the pressure supplied to the air equipment,
which is shown on the smaller gauge (fig.5.5). should the
pressure in the main tank exceed the pre-set switch (fig.5.8)
maximum, the safety valve (fig.5.7) will activate.
WARNiNG! For this reason dO NOt tamper with, or adjust,
the switch or the safety valve.
