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 are
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 below.
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 in diagram.
DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Some products require more than a 13 amp electrical supply. In
such a case, NO plug will be fitted. You must contact a qualified
electrician to ensure a 30 amp fused supply is available. We
recommend you discuss the installation of a 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 is important. We suggest 1.5mm² 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.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
3 Familiarise yourself with the controls and limitations of the
mower. This is a portable electric appliance, use an RCD.
3 Ensure the mower is in good order and condition before use. If
in any doubt electrically do not use the unit and contact an
electrician/service agent.
WARNING! The mower must only be serviced by an
authorised agent (except for blade replacement).
3 Maintain the mower in good condition and replace any
damaged or worn parts. Use genuine parts only.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate
your warranty.
3 Inspect the lawn prior to cutting, removing obstructions including
molehills.
3 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the
working area
7 DO NOT use this product to perform a task for which it has
not been designed. Grassed lawns only.
3 Wear safety glasses, ear defenders and in dusty conditions a
face mask.
7 DO NOT operate the hover mower barefoot or wearing open
sandles, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers.
7 DO NOT carry the mower by the cable or pull the cable to
disconnect from mains.
7 DO NOT start the mower with blades fully exposed.
7 DO NOT put your hands or feet under the cutter deck.
3 Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
3 Avoid mowing when grass is wet, never when raining.
3 Extra care is required when mowing slopes, be sure of your
footing. Hint-: Starting at the top of the slope, mow with a
sweeping arc action from side to side across the face, not up
and down the slope.
3 Keep the cable away from the cutter deck.
3 Switch off the mower, wait for blades to stop rotating and
remove plug from socket to carry out any user tasks such as
leaving unattended,clearing, cleaning, transporting, storing and
inspecting.
3 If used with an extension lead, seek advice from a qualified
electrician on cable insulation, sizes and lengths.

3. CONTENTS AND ASSEMBLY
3.1. Check that you have all the above details in the packaging.
In the unlikely event of any missing or damaged parts,
contact your Sealey Dealer immediately. Retain the
packaging.
3.2 Assembly:- (no tools required except cross head
screwdriver)
3.2.1 Loop the cable strain relief hook (item 3) on to the upper
handle tubular frame (item 1) in the position indicated.
3.2.2. Thread the mains cable as illustrated in fig.1 through the
cable strain relief hook (item 3). This is an important safety
feature preventing the mains cable from being accidentally
pulled from switch connections.
3.2.3. Fit the lower handle frames (item 2) into the holes of the
cutter deck (item 6) full depth. Use the supplied cross head
self tapping screws (item 8) to secure through the
pre-punched holes.
3.2.4. Fit the upper handle sub assembly (item 1) containing the
switch and cable to the lower handle (item 2) paying
attention to the cable run. There is a choice of two positions
50mm apart. Clamp the frame with (item 5) details, see fig.
2.
3.2.5 Position the three cable clips (item 4), clip to tubular frame
and finally clip the cable which runs from motor to switch.
3.2.6 Attach grass box if required (item 7) to tabs located beneath
spring loaded hinged panel, see fig.5, fig.6 and fig.7.
3.3 Blade fitting:- (spanner supplied)
3.3.1 Decide on the grass cutting length required, a choice of
3 are available, 26mm, 41mm and 56mm approximate grass
length settings. In fig.4 the wheel spindle is shown at the
26mm setting. Each wheel requires adjusting equally. A
tension spring retains the spindle into the chosen slot.
3.3.2 To remove the blade, hold the blade with a gloved hand and
undo the centre bolt with the supplied plastic spanner.
3.3.3. Refit or change the blade by the opposite approach and
tighten the centre bolt with the supplied plastic spanner, this
should avoid over torqueing.
NOTE: The blade will only fit one way, see fig.3 observing
stamped arrow. The retaining bolt has a standard RH thread.
WARNING! Never use blades other than the spares
supplied by your Sealey Dealer.
