Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard this product will, if used according to these instructions and properly
maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS.
USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
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. 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

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.
