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 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.
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 eN 60309 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:
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth
terminal.
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 connected correctly, that the cable outer
insulation extends
beyond the cable
restraint and that the
restraint is tight.
NOTE: if using a transformer
to supply the
compressor, it must be
rated at a minimum of
2kvA to allow the
compressor to run
efficiently.

3. PREPARATiON & ASSEMBLY
3.1. Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any
shortages or damage.
3.2. Confirm that the 110V 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.1) and should be in a position that allows good air
circulation around the unit.
3.4. iMPORTANT! 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 glass (fig.2B). Fit
the oil filler/breather supplied into the aperture.

THiS HAS BEEN dONE.
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. Fit the air filter into the inlet port if required (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.
5. OPERATiON
WARNiNG! ENSURE THAT YOU HAvE REAd,
UNdERSTOOd ANd APPLiEd SECTiON 1 SAFETY
iNSTRUCTiONS.
5.1. make sure that the main switch (fig.3.1) is ‘oFF’ (down).
5.2. Check the oil level by looking through the sight glass (See
fig.2B).
5.3. ensure that the tank drain valve is closed (fig.5).
5.4. Close the outlet pressure regulator by turning the knob
clockwise (fig.3.2).
5.5. Connect the air tool required to the compressor via an air line
connected to the air outlet.
5.6. Plug the mains cable into the mains supply and start the
compressor by pulling up the main switch.
5.7. 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.3.5).
5.8. Begin to gradually open the regulator by turning the knob
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.3.3) up tight
underneath the adjusting knob.
5.9. 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.3.7) 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.
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.3.5) indicates the pressure inside the
main tank, NOT the pressure supplied to the air equipment,
which is shown on the smaller gauge (fig.3.4). Should the
pressure in the main tank exceed the pre-set switch (fig.3.7)
maximum, the safety valve (fig.3.6) will activate.
