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 brOWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
b) connect the bLUe neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
c) 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 above -
DO NOt
connect either wire to the earth
terminal.
1.1.10. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an rcD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. the cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use
of 2.5mm² section cable.

WARNING!
Disconnect the charger from the mains power before servicing or performing any maintenance.
Disconnect the charger from the mains power before connecting to, or disconnecting from the battery.
Maintain the
charger in good condition (use an authorised service agent only).
WARNING!
the charger has components such as switches and relays which may cause sparks or arcs. When using the charger in a
garage or workshop, make sure that it is in a safe location.
Keep the charger clean for best and safest performance.
WARNING!
Ensure that there are no sources of ignition in or near the work area i.e. naked flames, cigarettes, heaters etc. as the charging
process produces explosive gases.
WARNING!
Ensure that the work area is well ventilated as the gases produced are explosive.
Locate the charger in a suitable work area and keep the area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure that there is
adequate lighting.
Wear approved safety eye protection (standard spectacles are not adequate).
remove ill fitting clothing. remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
read vehicle manufacturer’s manual to check for any specific battery charging information.
Disconnect the battery from the vehicle and move it to a safe, dry, level area for charging. If the battery cannot be removed from the
vehicle refer to manufacturer’s manual.
check that the electrolyte level in the battery is above the plates. If not, add distilled water to cover them by 5 - 10mm. Do not touch the
battery fluid as it is corrosive.
clean the charger clamps and battery terminals, before connecting the charger, to ensure good contact.
Ensure that the correct polarity clamp is attached to the correct terminal of the battery. PosItIVE is indicated by + and red and
nEGAtIVE is indicated by - and black. If there are no identifiable symbols, the nEGAtIVE terminal is the one which is connected directly
to the vehicle body.
remove the battery electrolyte cover or caps to allow the gases produced by charging to escape.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
Do not attempt to charge a non-rechargeable battery.
