1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
p 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 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 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 is 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 - see fuse rating at right.
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 an ASTA/BS approved 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 above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. If 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.

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
3Check that the heater is in sound condition and good working order. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts.
3Use recommended parts only. Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
3Use only paraffin/diesel to fuel your heater, in accordance with instructions contained in this manual.
pWARNING! Only use heater in well ventilated areas. Ensure continuous ventilation is provided to the heater operating area. Ensure a
minimum volume of air of 10m3/kW power and a continuous natural air circulation through windows and doors. For the most efficient
operation provide at least 80m3/h air flow from outside. This should be divided equally between floor and high level. Ventilation must be to the
outside of the premises in which the heater is to be operated. If your operating area has no direct access to clean fresh air we recommend that
you run a large gauge duct from the outside of the building to the back of the heater in order to provide a clean air intake.
3Keep the heater a minimum of 3 metres from any combustible materials (i.e. wooden items, cloth, plastics, paper, etc).
3Maintain a minimum distance of 50cm from non-combustible materials (i.e. brick, steel, concrete, etc).
3Maintain the following clearances around the heater. Sides - 0.6m, Top - 1.5m, Air inlet - 0.6m, Air outlet - 3.0m
3Check the colour of the heater outlet to ensure that optimum heat output is maintained.
pWARNING! DO NOT use the heater near flammable material, liquids, solids, gases or compressed gas cylinders and the like.
7DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the heater and DO NOT operate the heater without the cover.
7DO NOT use an external fuel tank. Only use that which is part of the heater.
7DO NOT leave the heater unattended when in use. Switch the heater off and unplug from the mains before leaving work area.
7DO NOT stand or place any object less than 3 metres from the heater output.
7DO NOT obstruct the air inlet and outlet sections of the heater.
7DO NOT operate the heater when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
7DO NOT over-fill the fuel container. Wipe up any spilt fuel immediately.
7DO NOT touch the exhaust gas outlet (chimney) at any time due to danger of burns.
7DO NOT touch the heater outlet when first switched off as these are very hot and will take time to cool.
3Ensure that the heater is correctly turned off when not in use and store in a safe, dry area, out of reach of children.

3.1. Assembly of wheels and foot.
Assemble the wheels and foot to the heater as indicated in fig.1
using the fixings provided.
3.2. Ventilation.
pWARNING! Only use the heater in well ventilated areas.
Ensure a minimum volume of air of 10m3/kW power and a
continuous natural air circulation through windows and doors. For
the most efficient operation provide at least 80m3/h air flow from
outside. If the operating area has no direct access to clean fresh
air we recommend you run a large gauge duct from the outside
of the building to the inlet of the heater in order to provide a clean
air intake. Ensure that the duct is laid so as to not compromise
safety. Careful consideration must also be given to the placing of
the heater to provide safe and comfortable heating.
3.3. Flue connection.
For indoor use this heater must be connected to a flue pipe to
vent exhaust gases outside. The heater can only be operated
without a flue when it is outside. Connect the heater to a chimney
or to an exhaust duct. To get a proper draught (at least 0,1 mbar)
in the chimney the exhaust gas path must rise as much as
possible vertically. Avoid any elbows and bends in the first part of
the exhaust ducts for at least 3 m. Avoid horizontal sections and
ensure that any subsequent bends are smooth. See fig.2 for flue
installation dos and donts.
If a room thermostat is used, set maximum temperature on it. Turn
switch to position "ON".
Set the desired temperature on room thermostat.
3.4. Ducting of heated air.
pUsing optional nose cone, Model No.ABNC04 (see fig.3) together
with standard ducting allows heat to be routed where required with
the heater up to eight metres away. Ideal for heating marquees,
village halls and other public areas. Heaters may be controlled by
optional remote thermostat, Model No. ABT04. (see fig.4)
