PARTS CLEANING TANK BENCH/
PORTABLE
MODEL No: SM21.V4
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY.
 WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure they are safe before using. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and
all electrical connections for wear and damage. You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety
devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD
(Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly important to use an RCD together with portable products that are
plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB.
If in doubt consult a professional 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 the appliance
and the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power
supply. See 1.1.1. & 1.1.2. above and use a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs for wear and damage and all electrical connections
to ensure that none are loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply
to be used, and check that plugs are fitted with the correct capacity fuse. A 13amp plug may require a
fuse smaller than 13amps for certain products (subject to 1.1.10. below) see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the powered appliance by its power supply lead.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by a
qualified electrician. A U.K. 3 pin plug with ASTA/BS approval is fitted. In case of damage, cut off and fit a
new plug according to the following instructions (discard old plug safely).
(UK only - see diagram at right). Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug.
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
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 are often fitted with live (BROWN) and neutral (BLUE) wires only. Double insulated products are always
marked with this symbol . To re-wire, connect the brown & blue wires as indicated above. DO NOT connect the brown or blue
to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Some products require more than a 13amp electrical supply. In such a case, NO plug will be fitted. You must contact a qualified
electrician to ensure a 30amp fused supply is available. We recommend you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and
socket with your electrician.
1.1.11. Cable extension reels. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD
fitted is recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. The section of the cores of the cable
on the reel is important. Use1.5mm² section cable as a minimum, but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the cable reel is
suitable for this product and for others that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section cable.

1. SAFETY

WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and apply the chapter 1 safety instructions before using the cleaning
tank.
4.1. Check that the washer power switch is in the off position, and that the unit is unplugged from the mains power supply.
4.2. Check that the lid will close under its own weight by opening fully and releasing. Free up if necessary.
4.3. Open the lid fully and ensure the "over centre" link engages (fig.1 and fig.2). Fill the tank to appropriate capacity; between a minimum
of 7ltrs and a maximum of 15ltrs with a Sealey solvent or a general purpose degreaser. Contact your local Sealey dealer for supply.
DO NOT use any other type of solvent. CAUTION! Ensure that you follow any instructions provided with the solvent.
4.4. If fitted, remove the internal tray to ensure the pump is immersed correctly in the solvent. Replace the internal tray.
4.5. Plug the unit into the mains power supply and switch the unit on (fig.3). Check that the solvent flows freely through the flexible spout.
4.6. Place parts to be cleaned onto the internal cleaning tray. Ensure any splash back stays inside the tank. For ground-in dirt etc, leave
the parts to soak in the bottom of the tank. Brush parts with the cleaning brush if required. Turn off the pump and leave the parts to
drain on the shelf.
4.7. When complete, turn the washer off and unplug from the mains power supply.
 WARNING! DO NOT allow uncontrolled discharge of fluids, thus polluting the environment. Dispose of waste liquids according to local
authority regulations.
4.8. Keep the cleaning tank clean. Remove and clean the filter regularly (fig.4) for the best and safest performance.
IMPORTANT! This cleaning tank has an anti-fire device built into it (fig.1 and fig.2). In the event of a fire and subsequent increase in
temperature locally, the low melting point solder in the fusible links turns from solid to liquid allowing the lid to close under gravity.
DO NOT prop the lid open with anything other than the fitted fused linkage. Use your finger (fig.2) to ensure full engagement. Once
actuated, the fire detection device cannot be re-used and must be replaced. When cleaning parts ensure that nothing in the tank,
including the parts basket and the flexible spout, is in a position that would prevent the lid from closing fully, if and when the fusible
link activates.
One-piece tank with triple baked finish and fully sealed magnetic drive pump unit with replaceable impeller. Smaller capacity tank is suitable
for bench-top mounting. Lid features self-latching fusible link which enables the lid to shut automatically in the event of a fire. Recirculated fluid
is filtered before entering the pump and is directed over the workpiece with a flexible metal delivery nozzle. Removable shelf included.
