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 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.
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 EN 60309 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:
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the
earth terminal.
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 connected
correctly, that the cable
outer insulation extends
beyond the cable
restraint and that the
restraint is tight.
NOTE: If using a transformer
to supply the
compressor, it must be
rated at a minimum of
2kVA to allow the
compressor to run
efficiently.

4. TOOL SELECTION
IMPORTANT: Take care when selecting tools for use with
the compressor. Air tool manufacturers normally express
the volume of air required to operate a tool in cubic feet
per minute (cfm). This refers to free air delivered by the
compressor (‘air out’) which varies according to the
pressure setting. Do not confuse this with the
compressor displacement which is the air taken in by
the compressor (‘air in’). ‘Air out’ is always less than ‘air
in’ - due to losses within the compressor - and so it is
important that, before choosing equipment, you study
the ‘Free Air Delivery’ figures shown in the Specification
Chart.
5. OPERATION
 WARNING! ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ,
UNDERSTOOD AND APPLIED SECTION 1 SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS.
5.1. Make sure that the main switch (fig.5.1) is ‘OFF’ (down).
5.2. Check the oil level by looking through the sight glass (fig.3).
5.3. Ensure that the tank drain valve is closed (fig.1).
5.4. Connect the air tool required to the compressor via an air line
connected to the air outlet.
5.5. Plug the mains plug into the mains supply and start the
compressor by pulling up the main switch (fig.5.1).
5.6. 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).
5.7. Begin to gradually open the regulator by turning the knob
clockwise (fig.5.2) 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 (fig.5.3) up tight
underneath the adjusting knob.
5.8. 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.
2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
Model features aluminium cylinder head with cast iron cylinder giving
added resistance to wear over time. Suitable for general purpose
workshop applications. Pump head directly coupled to a heavy-duty
induction motor for reliable operation. Welded tank complies with latest
European standards. Fitted with fully automatic pressure cut-out switch
with twin gauges displaying tank and working pressures. Fitted with
BS EN 60309 approved 16A 110V plug
3. PREPARATION & ASSEMBLY
3.1. Remove the compressor from its packaging and inspect for
any shortages or damage. If anything is found to be missing
or damaged, contact your supplier.
3.2. Confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage
shown on the compressor data plate.
3.3. The compressor should be installed on a flat surface, or one
that does not exceed 10°either transversely or longitudinally,
(see fig.2) and should be in a position that allows good air
circulation around the unit.
3.4. The compressor is supplied without oil in it. The oil is in a
separate container. Remove the oil filler/breather and pour oil
into the aperture until it has reached the correct level on the
sight (fig.3). Replace oil filler/breather.
3.5. 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.
3.6. If it is not already fitted, screw the air filter holder into the
inlet port (fig.4).

6. MAINTENANCE
6.3. OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 100 HOURS:
(or more frequently, if the compressor operates in a very dusty
atmosphere):
a) Check oil level and, if necessary, top it up.
b) Remove the air filter element by unscrewing the filter
holder (fig.4) and prising open the holder. Clean it by blowing
through with an air line at low pressure, from the clean side.
Alternatively, wash it 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) Check for oil leaks.
6.4. OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 200 HOURS:
a) Replace the lubricating oil. Remove the oil filler/breather
and unscrew the drain bolt (fig.3), drain the oil into a
suitable container. Drain when the compressor is hot so that
the oil drains rapidly and completely. Incline the compressor
to ensure complete drainage. Replace the drain bolt and refill
with fresh oil through the filler aperture. Do not overfill.
Replace oil filler/breather (fig.3).
Recommended oil:
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.
b) Check the automatic cut-out at maximum pressure and the
automatic cut-in at 2 bar below that.
6.5. OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 500 HOURS:
a) Replace air filter.
b) Check all tube fittings and electrical connections.
IMPORTANT! Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may
invalidate the warranty on your compressor.
6.6. IMPORTANT WARNING - Air contaminants taken into the
compressor will affect optimum performance. Example: Body
filler dust or paint overspray will clog the pump intake filter
and may cause internal damage to pump/motor components.
Please note that any parts damaged by any type of
contamination will not be covered by warranty.
6.7. Scheduled maintenance table.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance operation,
switch the compressor off, 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 50 working hours replace the lubricating
oil - see para 6.4.
6.2. OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT DAILY:
a) Drain condensation, place a container under the valve and
open the valve by turning anti-clockwise (fig.1). Retighten the
valve.
b) Check that all nuts and bolts are tight, particularly those
retaining the crankcase and cylinder head.
fig.5
When the compressor is not being used set the regulated
pressure to zero so as to avoid damaging the pressure
regulator.
5.9. 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.
5.10. When you have finished using the compressor unplug the
unit from the mains power supply.
5.11. Set the outlet pressure on the regulator to zero.
5.12. Remove the air line and air tool.
5.13. 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 (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 on a daily basis.
5.14. 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
could take up to 30 minutes.
