1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the user's responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure they are safe before using. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical
connections for wear or damage. You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual
Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all
electrical products. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in
doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer. You must also read and understand the fol
lowing 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, at least once a year, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
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
appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3.
Ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply.
See 1.1.1. & 1.1.2. above and use a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
1.1.4.
Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5.
Regularly inspect power supply, leads and plugs for wear or damage and also power connections to ensure
that none is loose.
1.1.6.
Important: Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply to be used and
check that plugs are fitted with the correct capacity fuse. A 13 amp plug may require a fuse smaller than 13 amps
for certain products - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7.
DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by its power supply lead or by the output leads.
1.1.8.
DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.
1.1.9.
DO NOT use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by a qualified
electrician. Where a U.K. 3 pin plug with ASTA/BS approval is fitted, in case of damage, cut off and fit a new plug
according to the following instructions (discard old plug safely).
(UK only - see diagram at right). Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug.
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 external insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products are fitted with live (BROWN) and neutral (BLUE) wires only. Double insulated products are always marked with
this symbol
. To re-wire, connect the brown & blue wires as indicated above. Do noT connect the brown or blue wires to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. NOTE: If this product requires more than a 13 amp electrical supply, then no plug is fitted. You must therefore contact a qualified electrician to ensure that
a 30 amp fused supply is available. We recommend you discuss the installation of a industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.
1.1.11.
Cable extension reels. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD
fitted is recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. The section of the cores in the cable
is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the cable reel is
suitable for this product and for others that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section.

IT IS VErY IMPorTAnT To rEAD AnD FolloW THESE InSTruCTIonS CArEFullY, EACH TIME You uSE THE CHArgIng EQuIPMEnT.
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers, and the maker of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity
of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.
1.2.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice and close enough to come to your aid,
should a problem arise when working near a lead-acid battery.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean running water for at least
15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current which is high enough to
weld a ring or the like to metal, which would cause severe burns.
Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long hair.
DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.
1.3.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the charger as well as the potential hazards. Also refer to the vehicle manufacturer's hand book.
IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT AN ELECTRICIAN.
Ensure the charger is in good order and condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit and contact an electrician.
Only use recommended attachments and parts. To use non-recommended items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
Use the charger in the upright position only and ensure it is placed on a stable surface which will adequately support its weight.
Ensure the charger is disconnected from the mains supply before attaching/detaching the power clamps to/from the battery.
Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
Ensure the output voltage of the charger is, or is set to, the same voltage as the battery.
If battery has caps to access the battery fluid, remove the caps and check the fluid level before connecting the power clamps. If necessary top-up the battery with
distilled water by referring to the battery manufacturer's instructions (Apply the personal safety precautions described in part 1.2).
If the charger receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
