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 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.
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 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.

RECOMMENDED

FUSE RATING:

13 AMP

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
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 To move the compressor use the handle only. Maintain unit’s
centre of gravity when lifting. 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.

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. 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 wheels (fig.A.X) and rubber feet (fig.A.Y) to
the main frame using the nuts, bolts and washers supplied.

3.5. The compressor should be operated on a flat level surface,
or one that does not exceed 5° either transversely or
longitudinally (fig.1), and should be in a position that allows
good air circulation around the unit.

3.6. Remove the plastic transit plug from the oil filler hole.

3.7. Before using the compressor check the oil level by referring

to the oil sight glass (fig.2C). 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). Screw the filler/breather
cap into the aperture as shown in fig.2B.

3.8. Screw the back half of a filter unit into the downward facing
port openings in each head as shown in fig.2.A. Place a filter
cover over each threaded rod protruding from the back half
of the filter and secure each with a wing nut. Refer also to
fig.4.

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).
