PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
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:
9You 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.
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 Portable 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. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
9Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
9Regularly inspect power supply leads and plugs for wear and damage and power connections to
ensure that none is loose or damaged.
9Ensure 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.
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.
8This product requires an electrical supply in excess of 13 amp, and NO plug is fitted. You must
therefore contact a qualified electrician to ensure that a 16 amp supply is available. We recommend
that you discuss the installation of a industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.
Ensure that the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug, as shown.
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal .
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal, ‘N’ or unmarked.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected,
that the external insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
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 2.5mm²section cable.
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. No liability will be accepted for damage / injury, where this product is not used in accordance with all instructions.

▲DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID 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 CHARGING
EQUIPMENT. Follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer 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.
1.2. Personal Precautions
9When working with or near a lead-acid battery ensure there is another person within hearing range and close enough to come to your aid,
should a problem arise.
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.
9Wash 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 high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which may cause severe burns.

6.1.3. Supply Mode.
Power supply mode to assist in vehicle programming. This mode does not contain any charging steps, and it consists exclusively of a
stabilised power supply delivering the nominal battery voltage. The purpose is that of supplying current to support the battery to prevent
it from being drained during operations that require power for short or long periods.
6.1.4. Recovery Mode.
WARNING: because of the high voltage reached during this cycle, the battery recovery process MUST be performed with the battery
disconnected and removed from the vehicle. Recovery with the battery connected to the vehicle may result in damage to the
vehicle’s electronics.
This is the method of recovery for sulphated batteries accessible by means of a prolonged press of 3 seconds of the Function button.
The screen displays the message RECOVERY alternating with the instantaneous voltage or current reading; during this step the
 ChargeLEDashes.
The charger performs a special charging cycle in which higher than average voltages are forced to attempt recovery of the battery. In
this mode no error messages are generated during the charging cycle.
At the end of the cycle a message is displayed to indicate whether or not the battery has been recovered on the basis of the current
absorption.
This mode has six steps as described below:
 •STEP1:Analysis1:Outputsbelow1.5Vwillcausethedevicetoreverttostandby.

7.4.1. In the case of a mains power supply cut, the charger saves the work cycle that it was performing in order to restore it automatically
as soon as the power supply is restored.

example, during very long charging cycles (charge maintenance) or when charging overnight (charges for vehicles that need to be
charged daily).
7.5. End of Charging.
7.5.1. Once the battery is charged, unplug the power supply lead of the charger from the mains supply.
7.5.2. Disconnect the output lead with the black clamp from the negative terminal (-) of the battery or from the vehicle’s earthing point.

7.6.4. Attempt to start the engine - the scrolling message START appears on the display - if the engine doesn’t start within 5 seconds,
stop cranking the engine and wait for 120 seconds before attempting again. A maximum of 5 cycles of starting/resting is OK, before
a longer rest period is needed before attempting again. This is important as the charger needs a cooling down period.
7.6.5. When the engine starts, switch off the charger and remove the clamps from the battery in the order as in section 7.5. above.
