1. SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:
Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. Inspect power supply leads, plugs and
all electrical connections for wear and damage. Sealey recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical
products. You may obtain an RCD by contacting your local Sealey stockist.
If the product is used in the course of business duties, it must be maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAT (Portable
Appliance Test) tested.
Electrical safety information, it is important that the following information is read and understood.
Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.
Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.
Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is tted with the
correct fuse - see fuse rating in these instructions.
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. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or is
replaced immediately by a qualied electrician.
This product is tted with a BS1363/A 3 pin plug.
If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch o󰀨 the electricity supply and remove from use.
Ensure that repairs are carried out by a qualied electrician.
Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact a qualied electrician.
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’.
Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualied electrician.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
▲DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.
FOR THIS REASON, IT VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE
THE CHARGING EQUIPMENT.
9Follow 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.
WARNING! Modern vehicles contain extensive electronic systems.
You are required to check with the vehicle manufacturer, for any specic instructions regarding the use of this type of equipment on
each vehicle.
9 No liability will be accepted for damage / injury, where this product is not used in accordance with all instructions.
1.3. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
9Ensure 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.
9Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
9Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
9 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.
9Remove 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.
9Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long hair.
8DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.
1.4. CHARGING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9Familiarise 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 A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
9Ensure the charger is in good order and condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit, contact your Sealey stockist.
9 Use the starter/charger in the horizontal position only and ensure it is placed on a stable surface which will adequately support its weight.
9 Ensure the charger is disconnected from the mains supply before attaching/detaching the power clamps to/from the battery.

9Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
9Ensure the output of the charger is the same voltage as the battery.
9Ensure that during charging, the charger is placed in a location where there is sufficient ventilation to prevent the build up of explosive
gases from a lead acid battery, and DO NOT cover or obstruct the charger ventilation louvres.
9If battery has caps to access the battery fluid, remove the caps and check the fluid level before connecting the power clamps.
9If necessary top-up the battery with distilled water by referring to the battery manufacturer’s instructions (Apply the personal safety
9 precautions described in part 1.3).
9If the charger receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
