1.1. PLUG & MAINS POWER SUPPLY 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.

NOTE: 110 volt heaters are usually operated by connecting to a transformer or a generator. Check to ensure all supply equipment is compatible

with the rating of the cleaner.

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 c o n n e c t i o n s t o

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 listed in Fig.1.

1.1.7. Important: For use from a 110 volt supply - ensure that the 110 volt transformer or generator

is adequately rated.

1.1.8. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

1.1.9. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

1.1.10. 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 13 amp

plug or 110 volt 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 - see diagrams opposite).

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.

1.1.11. 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 2.5mm2section cable.

1.2 GENERAL SAFETY

pWARNING! Disconnect heater from mains supply before servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts.

4Ensure nothing is standing or passing in front of the heater. Mandatory minimum distance from the heater is 1m.

4Use the supplied pressure regulator only.

4Ensure continuous ventilation is provided to the heater operating area. A ventilation opening must run to the outside of the premises

where the heater is to be operated. The opening must be 25cm2for every kW and must also be set at an equal distance from the

upper and lower parts of the heater operating area.

4Ensure the heater is correctly turned off when not in use.

8DO NOT use the heater if damaged. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts. Use authorised service agent only.

8DO NOT allow untrained persons to ignite the heater.

8DO NOT operate the heater without its cover.

8DO NOT exceed the 100W/m3limit considering the volume of the empty operating area.
