1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 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 an ASTA/BS approved 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 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. 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.
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 2.5mm² section cable. If extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.

2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
Manufactured from lightweight yet durable composite material with increased resistance to wear. Reduced weight eases manoeuvrability.
Suitable for general workshop applications. Oil free, single piston pump is driven by a 1.5hp motor inside the body, saving space around the
workshop. Fitted with fully automatic pressure cut-off switch and air regulator with gauge. Features integral handle. Simple construction with
fewer components makes this unit practically maintenance-free. Fitted with ASTA/BS approved non-rewirable plug.
3. OPERATION
 WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
3.1. The compressor should be located and operated in a position that allows good air circulation around the unit. Locate the compressor
in a convenient position for the work to be undertaken. Ensure that it is standing on a stable and level surface. Ensure the feet are in
direct contact with the surface.
3.2. Attach the required air tool to the air outlet.
3.3. Plug the mains plug into a mains electrical socket, but do not switch the compressor on until the workpiece and air tool are fully prepared.
3.4. Switch on the unit by pushing the I/O switch in. To switch off press the switch again, it will spring out automatically on release.
3.5. Pressure will build in the receiver until a pre-determined pressure of 8bar (116psi) is reached and the motor will automatically cut out.
3.6. The output pressure can then be regulated by the pressure regulator knob. Adjust the pressure regulator knob to the pressure
required, which will be less than the receiver pressure. When the compressor is not being used, set the regulated pressure to zero to
avoid damaging the pressure reducer.
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 tool being used.
b) The gauge on the left (fig.1) indicates the pressure inside the main tank. The gauge on the right (fig.1) indicates the regulated
pressure supplied to the air equipment. The pressure switch, not shown, stops the motor when the maximum tank pressure has
reached 8bar (116psi) and restarts it when the pressure falls below the minimum threshold - approximately 2 bar (29psi) less than the
maximum pressure.
 WARNING! For this reason DO NOT remove fascia panel to tamper with, or adjust, the pre-set switch or safety valve.
c) Should there appear to be any loss of efficiency when using the compressor, ensure first that the air tool is clean and functioning
properly. If the air tool is satisfactory then refer to the trouble shooting guide.

4. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
Before carrying out any maintenance, switch compressor off, unplug it from the mains electricity supply, depressurise the
tank and allow unit to cool down fully.
4.1. Keep the compressor clean and free of dust. Do not use cleaning agents. Wipe the compressor using a slightly dampened cloth and
blow it over with compressed air, if available.
4.2. Ensure that the ventilation openings are clear. Do not allow any extraneous material to enter the unit via any of the ventilation
openings.
4.3. To prevent corrosion to the tank, drain it on a regular basis by opening the drainage tap at the end of the tank, after draining ensure
the drainage tap is fully closed.
4.4. The troubleshooting guide below is intended to give an indication of the type of fault which may develop with the compressor over a
long period of service. The chart is not intended as a guide on how to repair the fault, it is recommended that the compressor is
returned to an authorised service agent for rectification of serious faults.

3.7. Do not leave the compressor running for any length of time with the air tool attached not being used. If there is a pause in the
work, switch the compressor off. These compressors have a duty-cycle of 30%. For each period of use, a rest period of 70% of the
cycle period should be left before using it again. For example, after 3 minutes use, a rest period of 7 minutes should follow. If the
motor over-heats, the thermal cut-out will operate and cut the motor out. When the temperature has returned to normal, the motor will
re-start automatically.
3.8. When work is complete, switch the compressor off by pressing the I/O switch and releasing. Disconnect the air tool from the
compressor and relieve remaining pressure. Open the drainage tap at the end of the tank, tip the compressor to allow any moisture to
be drained from the tank. This prevents corrosion on the inside of the tank. Close drainage tap.
3.9. If it is intended to store the compressor away, allow it to cool before storing it carefully in a safe, dry, dust free, childproof location.
