1. 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.
1.1.3. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
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. 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.
8DO 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.

4. PREPARATION AND ASSEMBLY
WARNING! The compressor is supplied with lubricating oil in the pump - see para. 4.4.
4.1. Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any shortages or damage. If anything is found to
be missing or damaged contact your supplier.
4.2. Confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage shown on the compressor data plate.
4.3. The compressor should be installed on a flat surface, or one that does not exceed 10° either
transversely or longitudinally, and should be in a position that allows good air circulation around the unit.
4.4. The compressor is supplied without oil in it. The oil is in a separate container. Remove the transit plug
from the oil filler aperture, pour oil into the aperture until it has reached the correct level on the sight
glass (fig.2B). Fit the oil filler/breather (fig.2A) supplied into the aperture.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN THE COMPRESSOR UNTIL THIS HAS BEEN DONE.
4.5. Ensure that the air vent in the oil filler/breather is free from debris. If the air vent is blocked,
pressure can build up in the crankcase causing damage to the compressor and possible
personal injury.
4.6. Screw air filter (fig.3C) into inlet port.
4.7. Regulator assembly. See fig.4. Remove any packing material from the connector attached to the
pressure switch. Check that the connector thread has a factory applied sealant to prevent leaks.
Thread the regulator assembly onto the connector making sure that it is properly aligned to avoid
cross threading. The assembly should rotate approximately 6 to 7 revolutions. The two gauges
should be facing in the same direction. DO NOT overtighten.

5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and applied
Section 1 Safety Instructions.
5.1. DUTY CYCLE: This is a 50% duty cycle air compressor. DO NOT
run the air compressor for more than 30 minutes in any one hour.
Doing so could damage the air compressor.
5.2. Make sure that the main switch (fig.5.1) is ‘Off’ (down).
5.3. Check the oil level by looking through the sight glass (See fig.2B).
5.4. Ensure that the tank drain valve is closed. (See fig.1)
5.5. Close the outlet pressure regulator by turning the knob clockwise.
(See fig.5.2).
5.6. Connect the air tool required to the compressor via an air line
connected to the air outlet (See fig.5.4).
5.7. Plug the mains cable into the mains supply and start the
compressor by pulling up the main switch.
5.8. Allow the pressure in the tank to rise to the maximum at which
point the compressor will automatically cut out. Tank pressure is shown on the larger gauge (fig.5.6).
5.9. Begin to gradually open the regulator by turning the knob anticlockwise until the small gauge registers the required operating pressure
specified for the tool to be used. Always adjust up to the required pressure rather than down from a higher pressure. The required
setting, once achieved, can be locked by screwing the locking ring (See fig.5.3) up tight underneath the adjusting knob.
5.10. You can now begin to use the tool. The compressor will operate automatically cutting in and out as required to restore the air pressure
in the tank. The pressure switch (fig.5.8) stops the motor when the
maximum tank pressure is reached and restarts it when pressure
falls below the minimum threshold - approx. 2 bar (29psi) less
than the maximum pressure.
Note: a) If the motor does not cut in and out, but runs continuously
when using an air appliance, the capacity of the compressor may
be too small for the appliance.
b) The main gauge (fig.5.6) indicates the pressure inside the
main tank, NOT the pressure supplied to the air equipment,
which is shown on the smaller gauge (fig.5.5). Should the
pressure in the main tank exceed the pre-set switch (fig.5.8)
maximum, the safety valve (fig.5.7) will activate.
WARNING! For this reason DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the
switch or the safety valve. When the compressor is not being
used set the regulated pressure to zero so as to avoid damaging
the pressure regulator.
5.11. To stop the compressor press down the main switch (fig.5.1).
When the compressor stops there will be a whistling sound as
compressed air is vented from the compressor head. DO NOT,
other than in an emergency, stop the compressor by switching off
the mains power, or by pulling the plug out, as the pressure relief
will not then occur and motor damage may result upon restart.
5.12. When you have finished using the compressor unplug the unit
from the mains power supply.
5.13. Set the outlet pressure on the regulator to zero.
5.14. Remove the air line and air tool.
5.15. The tank must now be drained. This will release the air left in the tank and drain away condensation that may have formed within the tank.
Choose a suitable location for this operation and/or make provision to collect the condensation. Wear ear and eye protection. Open
the tank drain valve (See fig.1) slowly allowing air and moisture to bleed from the tank. After bleeding close the drain valve to prevent
debris building up in the valve.
 WARNING! Water that is allowed to remain in the tank during storage will corrode and weaken the air tank which could cause
the tank to rupture. To avoid serious injury drain the tank after each use or daily.
5.16. SAFETY FEATURES
Thermal cut out: If the unit overheats the thermal cut out will operate and shut the unit down. The thermal cut out will automatically
reset when the unit has cooled down which may take up to 30 minutes.
6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance operation,
switch off the compressor, disconnect from electricity supply and
release all air from the tank. In order to keep the compressor in
good working condition, periodical maintenance is essential.
6.1. After the first 10 working hours replace the lubricating oil -
see para 6.3.
6.2. Operations to be carried out daily:
a) Drain condensation by opening the valve located under the
tank. Place a container under the valve and open the valve by
turning anti-clockwise. See fig.1.
b) Check for oil leaks
c) Check oil level and, if necessary, top up.
6.3. Operations to be carried out every 100 hours (or more frequently,
if the compressor operates in a very dusty atmosphere):
a) Check the automatic cut-out at max. pressure and the automatic cut-in at 2 bar below.

b) Check the condition of the air filter. If necessary remove the filter element (fig.3C) and clean by blowing through, with an air line at
low pressure from the clean side or wash in soapy water, rinse and dry. DO NOT operate the compressor without the filter as foreign
bodies or dust could seriously damage the pump.
c) Replace the lubricating oil. For oil specifications see below. Remove the oil filler plug (fig.2A) and unscrew sight glass (fig.2B),
draining the oil into a container. Drain when the compressor is hot so that oil drains rapidly and completely. Incline compressor to ensure
complete drainage. Replace sight glass and refill through the filler aperture. DO NOT overfill. Replace plug (fig.2A). Recommended oil
for compressors, suitable for room temperatures ranging from +5ºC to +25ºC. SEALEY CPO or equivalent SAE 40 compressor oil.
Room temperature below +5ºC: SAE 20 compressor oil.
WARNING! Never mix different oils and DO NOT use non-detergent/low quality oils as the compressor may be damaged. Dispose of
waste oil only in accordance with local authority requirements.
6.4. Operations to be carried out every 500 hours:
a) Replace air filter.
b) Check all tube fittings and electrical connections.
Inspection of pressure tank both inside and out. Under the PRESSURE SYSTEMS REGULATIONS 2000 it is the responsibility of the
owner of the compressor to initiate a system of inspection that both defines the frequency of the inspection and appoints a person who
has specific responsibility for carrying out the inspection.
IMPORTANT! Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may invalidate the warranty on your compressor.
