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 stockist. You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
9The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portble Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
9The 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.
9Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.
9Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
9Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure
that none are loose.
9Important: 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 to right.
8DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
8DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
8DO 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 below. DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
9If 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.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! DO NOT USE ON ANY OTHER BATTERIES APART FROM SEALED LEAD ACID BATTERIES.
WARNING! Disconnect the charger from the mains power before servicing or performing any maintenance.
9Disconnect the charger from the mains power before disconnecting from the battery.
9Maintain the charger in good condition (use an authorised service agent only).
9Keep the charger clean for best and safest performance.

WARNING! Ensure there are no sources of ignition near the work area i.e. naked flames, cigarettes, flame heaters etc as the charging
process produces explosive gases.
WARNING! Ensure the working area is well ventilated as the gases produced are explosive.
9Locate the charger in a suitable work area. Keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and ensure there is adequate
lighting.
9Wear approved safety eye protection (standard spectacles are not adequate).
9Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery, and contain long hair.
9Read vehicle manufacturer’s instructions manual to check for any specific battery charging information.
9Disconnect the battery from the vehicle and move it to a safe, dry level area for charging. If the battery cannot be removed from the
vehicle refer to manufacturer’s hand book.
9Clean the charger clamps and battery terminals to remove any oxidation.
9Ensure the correct clamp polarity is observed when connecting to the battery. Positive is indicated by (+) and is Red, negative is
indicated by (-) and is black.
8DO NOT pull or carry the charger by its power supply lead. Products must not be pulled or carried by their output cables.
8DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.
8DO NOT attempt to charge a non-rechargeable battery.
8DO NOT use the charger for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.
8DO NOT allow the charger terminal clamps to touch each other when the power is on. Remember that gases are produced which may
ignite if sparks occur.
8DO NOT place the charger inside the vehicle. Remove the battery to a safe distance for charging.
8DO NOT get the charger wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
8DO NOT operate the charger if damaged.
8DO NOT attempt to modify or open the charger.
8DO NOT charge the battery with the engine running.
8DO NOT charge a frozen battery.
9When not in use unplug from the mains power supply and store in a safe, dry, childproof area.
8DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the charger.
9This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given instruction concerning the use of the appliance and are supervised by a person responsible
for their safety.
9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area. Children must not use the charger and should be constantly supervised to
ensure they do not play with the charger.
9WARNING! Be vigilant and cautious during the operation of battery charging as the electrolyte is highly corrosive and any gases
emitted are explosive.
▲DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD ACID, GEL, AGM, VRLA, AND LIQUID ELECTROLYTE BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
