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 all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be 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 - 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. Have any faulty item repaired

 

or replaced immediately by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK 3 pin

 

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 above - 

DO NOT

 connect either wire to the earth terminal.

1.1.10.  Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug (PW4000). In this case you 

MUST 

contact a qualified  

 

 

electrician to ensure  that a suitable supply is available. On this model we recommend fitting a 16A plug and connecting to a 20A  

 

 

supply protected by a type C circuit breaker. If in any doubt take the advice of a qualified electrician.   

 

 

 

1.1.11.  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 2.5mm ² section cable. A waterproof plug and socket should be fitted.

1.2. 

GENERAL SAFETY

 

WARNING

! Water and electricity are dangerous partners

Be extremely cautious

 and 

ALWAYS

 be aware that this device uses an

 

electric motor. Always plug into a RCD (See electrical safety above). Unplug from mains before changing accessories or servicing.

 

WARNING! DO NOT

 use the washer if any part of the unit, gun, nozzle, detergent tank, hose or cables is damaged. Replace or 

 

repair using genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty. Always check connections 

 

are correctly secured and not cracked or damaged in any way before using the machine.

 WARNING! 

Use washer on a flat, level surface, in an upright position. Failure to do so will invalidate your warranty.  

 

 

 

NEVER

 lay the washer down during use.

 

Ensure you comply with all local water supply regulations. Power washers may only be connected to mains water supply if a check    

 

valve is installed in the supply hose, or at the tap outlet

.

  

The supply hose must be reinforced, and have an internal diameter of 1/2” (13mm). The water supply must be at least equal to the  .  

 

cleaner capacity. The water temperature must 

NOT

 exceed 122°F (60°C). The water supply pressure must 

NOT

 exceed 6 bar (90psi).
