1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY.
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and
comply with the following:
You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure they
are safe before using. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and all
electrical connections for wear and damage. You must ensure the risk of
electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety
devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be
incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an
RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is
particularly important to use an RCD together with portable products that
are plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in
doubt consult a professional 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 at least once a year, using a Portable
Appliance Tester (PAT).
1.1.2 The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of
electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the
appliance, and the safety of the appliance operator. If in any
doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified Electrician.
1.1.3 Ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe
before connecting to the mains power supply. See 1.1.1. & 1.1.2.
above and use a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
1.1.4 Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and
overload.
1.1.5 Regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs and all electrical
connections for wear and damage, especially power connections,
to ensure that none are loose.
1.1.6 Important: Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the
electrical power supply to be used, and check that plugs are fitted with
correct capacity fuse.
1.1.7 DO NOT pull or carry the powered appliance by its power supply
lead or output cables.
1.1.8 DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.
1.1.9 DO NOT use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections.
Immediately replace or have repaired by a qualified Electrician.
These particular compressors are supplied without a mains plug.
Follow the instructions below regarding the fitting of an
Appropriate plug.
1.2 MODEL SAC32055B AND MODEL SAC32775B REQUIRE A
415V 3 PHASE SUPPLY AND MUST HAVE AN APPROPRIATE
PLUG ADDED.
WARNING! ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION OF THE
COMPRESSOR TO A 3 PHASE 415VOLT SUPPLY MUST
ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Ensure the power supply cable is connected to the Earth.
1.2.1 This product must be fitted with a 3 phase plug wired as
illustration in (fig.2), wired to an appropriately fused supply.
Connect GREEN/YELLOW wire to Earth ‘E’
Connect BROWN wire to L1 Terminal.*
Connect BLACK wire to L2 Terminal.*
Connect the GREY wire to L3 Terminal.*
WARNING! IT IS ESSENTIAL TO OBSERVE ACW (fig.1)
PULLEY DIRECTION ON INITIAL START UP. IF CW
OBSERVED, STOP IMMEDIATELY AND CONSULT A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO INVERT 2 PHASES*.
*NOTE: The cable core colours found in the mains cable on this
compressor are consistent with Amendment 2 to 7671:2001.
When completed, check there are no bare wires, that all wires
have been connected correctly and the cable restraint is tight.
1.2.2 DO NOT use this product with a standard extension
cable. Only use ARMOURED extension cable.

IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION!
Over-current protection of the power circuit is required in
accordance with 7.2 of EN 60204-1:2006. The supply
disconnecting device to be in accordance with 5.3 of EN
60204-1:2006. Ask a qualified electrician about compliance.
The use of extension leads to connect these compressors to
the mains is not recommended.
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 a gun, check that the area selected
for spraying is provided with an air change/ventilation system.

3 Ensure the air supply valve is turned off before
disconnecting the air supply hose.
3 Move the compressor on a pallet or using slings beneath
receiver near to domed ends, employing a fork lift truck or
wheeled gantry crane. Beware of off centre loads
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.
7 DO NOT disassemble compressor for any reason. The unit

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. Confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage
shown on the compressor data plate.
3.4. Assemble the 4 AV mounts using the nuts, bolts and washers
supplied. (fig.8.)
3.5. The compressor should be operated on a flat surface, or one
that does not exceed 5° either transversely or longitudinally
and should be in a position that allows good air circulation
around the unit, (see 1000mm nominal perimeter).
3.6. Before using the compressor check the oil level by referring
to the oil sight glass (fig.4C). On a horizontal surface, if the
oil level is not up to the red centre mark it should be further
topped up with recommended oil (See section 5.7). To top up
unscrew plug (fig.4B).
3.7. Screw the back half of a filter unit into the port openings in
each head as shown in (fig.4A and fig.7). Place a filter cover
over each threaded rod protruding from the back half of the
filter and secure each with a wing nut.
3.8. Check drain valve is closed (fig.6)

4. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and
apply Section 1 safety instructions.
4.1. IMPORTANT. The use of extension leads to connect this
compressor to the mains is not recommended as the
resulting voltage drop reduces motor, and therefore
pump, performance and could damage your compressor.
4.2. 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.
