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 dealer.

You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.

1.1.1. The 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.

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 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 above.

DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.

1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure

that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket

with your electrician.

1.1.11. 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 2.5mm² section cable.

3. ASSEMBLY

4.1. Principles of Operation

4.1.1. Fuel System: This heater is equipped with an air pump that operates off of the

electric motor. The pump forces air through the air line connected to the fuel tank,

drawing fuel to the nozzle in the burner head. Air also passes through the nozzle where

it mixes with the fuel and is sprayed into the combustion chamber as a fine mist.

4.1.2. Quick-Fire Ignition: A transformer sends high voltage to a two pronged spark plug.

The spark ignites the fuel/air mixture as it is sprayed into the combustion chamber.

4.1.3. Air System: A fan is turned by the heavy duty motor, which forces air around and into

the combustion chamber, where it is super-heated and forced out the front of the

chamber.

4.1.4. Electrical System Protection: The heater’s electrical system is protected by a circuit breaker that protects the system components from

damage. If the heater fails, check the fuse first, and replace if necessary.

4.1.5. Flame Sensor: The heater uses a photocell to see the flame in the combustion chamber. Should the flame extinguish, the sensor will stop

electrical current and the heater will shut off.

4.1.6. Tip-over Sensor: The heater uses a tip-over sensor.

4.2. Fuel: the heater operates with paraffin, kerosene or diesel fuel. DO NOT use any other type of fuel.

4.3. When used in the construction or agricultural industries ensure that the safety regulations in force are adhered to with regard to distances

from flammable materials and any other specified substances.

WARNING! Air contaminants taken into the heater may affect the heat output, damage the unit and may cause health problems.

Example: Bodyshop filler dust/paint overspray will damage the motor bearing, clog the filter and compressor and contaminate the

combustion chamber causing flame flutter and health hazards. Please note that any parts damaged by filler dust/paint overspray

will not be covered by warranty. Additionally, a cleaning charge will be made for any heaters damaged by filler dust/paint over

spray.

4.4. Ventilation:

WARNING! Only use the heater in well ventilated areas. Careful consideration must be given to the placing of the heater to provide safe

and comfortable heating. Ensure continuous ventilation is provided to the heater operating area. A ventilation opening must run to the

outside of the premises in which the heater is to be operated.

The heater requires a fresh air opening of at least 2800cm².

For Example:

- A two car garage door should be open at least 11cm.

- A single car garage door should be open at least 16cm.

- Two 76cm windows should be open at least 20cm.

4. OPERATING CONDITIONS

Although this heater operates with diesel fuel, when the temperatures are below 0°C,

diesel additives are required to maintain the diesel's viscosity. Typically diesel can cloud

in freezing conditions and will start to gel. You will need additives for your fuel in these

conditions.

Kerosene/Parafn does not start to gel until the ambient temperature is around -40°C.
