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:
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. MPORTANT: 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.
8 DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
8 DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
8 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.
1.1.7. 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.
Products which require more than 13amps 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.
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. If an extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

4. PREPARATION
4.1. Remove compressor from packaging and
inspect for any shortages or damage. If
anything is found to be missing or damaged
contact your supplier.
4.2. Save the packing material for future transportation
of the compressor. We recommend that the packing
is stored in a safe location, at least for the period of the guarantee. Then, if necessary, it will be easier to send the compressor to the
service centre.
4.3. Confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage shown on the compressor data plate.
4.4. Fit the main wheels (fig.1.D) and small wheel (fig.1.E) to the main frame using the nuts, bolts and washers supplied.
4.5. The compressor should be installed on a flat, firm surface, or one that does not exceed 15
°
either transversely or longitudinally, and
should be in a position that allows good air circulation around the unit.
g.1
4.6. The compressor is shipped with oil in the
pump, but the level needs checking before
starting the unit for the first time. Check
the oil level by referring to the oil dip
stick/breather (fig.2.B). If the oil level is not
up to the mark, it should be topped up with
recommended oil via the dipstick opening.
Replace the dipstick.
4.7. The filter covers shown in (fig.2.A) are fixed
in place with a cross head screw. Place a
filter cover over the filter and retaining mesh
and secure with the cross head screw. Refer
also to (fig.4).
5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you have read,
understood and apply Section 1 safety
instructions.
5.1. IMPORTANT: The use of extension leads to connect this compressor to the mains is not recommended as the resulting voltage
drop reduces motor, and therefore pump, performance.
5.2. Take care when selecting tools for use with the compressor. Air tool manufacturers normally express the volume of air required to
operate a tool in cubic feet per minute (cfm). This refers to free air delivered by the compressor (‘air out’) which varies according to
the pressure setting. DO NOT confuse this with the compressor displacement which is the air taken in by the compressor (‘air in’).
‘Air out’ is always less than ‘air in’ - due to losses within the compressor .
5.3. STARTING THE COMPRESSOR
5.3.1. Thecompressoristtedwithapush/pulltypeofON/OFFswitch(g.3.A).
5.3.2. To turn the compressor ‘ON’ pull the switch knob upwards. To turn the
compressor ‘OFF’ push the switch knob downwards.
5.3.3. Check that the ON/OFF switch is in the “OFF” position and the regulator
tap(g.3.C)isclosed(Zero‘0’bar,Anti-clockwise).
5.3.4. Plug mains lead into mains supply and start the compressor by pulling the
ON/OFF switch knob upwards.
5.3.5. Leave the compressor running with the regulator tap (fig.3.C) set to
maximum pressure. Make sure that the pressure in the tank rises
and that the compressor stops automatically when the maximum pressure
value allowed - written on the specification plate and shown on the gauge
(fig.3.G) - is achieved. The compressor will now operate automatically.
The pressure switch (fig.3.B) stops the motor when the maximum tank
pressure is reached, and will restart it when pressure falls below the
minimum threshold - approx. 2 bar (29psi) less than the maximum
pressure.
5.3.6. Stop the compressor by pushing the switch knob downwards (g.3.A).
The compressed air inside the compressor head will flow out, making the restart easier and preventing the motor from being damaged.
8 DO NOT, other than in an emergency, stop the compressor by switching off the mains socket, or by pulling the plug out of the socket,
as the pressure relief will not then occur and motor damage may result upon restart.
When the compressor runs correctly and is stopped correctly there will be:
(a) a whistle of compressed air when the motor stops,
(b) a protracted whistle (about 20-25 seconds) when the compressor starts with no pressure in the tank.
5.3.7. The output pressure is regulated by the pressure regulator tap (fig.3.C). Turn the tap clockwise to increase pressure and anti-clockwise to
reduce it. The tap can be locked at any required setting by tightening the locking ring (fig.3.D) up against the underside of the tap.
To determine the correct working pressure for any piece of equipment check the corresponding manual. When the compressor is not
being used, set the regulated pressure to zero so as to avoid damaging the pressure reducer.
NOTE: a) If the motor does not cut in and out, but runs continuously when using an air appliance, the capacity of the compressor may be too
small for the equipment or tool.
b) The larger gauge (fig.3.G) indicates the pressure inside the main tank. The smaller gauge (fig.3.F) indicates the pressure supplied
to the air equipment. Should the pressure in the main tank exceed the pre-set switch (fig.3.B) maximum, the safety valve (fig.3.H) will
activate.
WARNING! For this reason DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the pre-set switch or safety valve (fig.3.B & H).
5.3.8. The compressor is fitted with an overload switch, and a reset trip button located in the connection box on top of the motor (fig.7). Should
the overload switch activate, switch the compressor off and leave for a few minutes before pressing the trip reset button to reset, and
then re-start the compressor. For possible causes of overload switch activation and remedies, see Section 6.
6. MAINTENANCE
In order to keep the compressor in good working condition, periodic
maintenance is essential.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance operation, switch off the
compressor, disconnect from electrical supply and release all air from the tank.
IMPORTANT! Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may invalidate the warranty on
your compressor.

6.3. Operations to be carried out daily:
a) Drain condensation by opening the valve located under the tank (fig.5). Place a container under the valve to collect any condensation,
as it may contain residual oil.
Close valve after draining condensation and dispose of it safely.
b) Regularly clean dirt and dust away from the safety devices with a clean cloth or blowing with low pressure compressed air. Generally
keep the compressor clean.
6.4. Operations to be carried out every 100 hours: (or more frequently, if the compressor operates in a very dusty atmosphere).
a) Check oil level, top up if necessary.
b) Remove the filter elements (fig.4). Turn off the compressor and using stored air from it’s tank, clean the filters with compressed air.
(Wear eye protection and DO NOT direct air towards the body or hands). DO NOT operate the
compressor without the filters as foreign bodies or dust could seriously damage the pump. Replace
the filter elements.
c) Check for oil leaks.
6.5. Operations to be carried out every 200 hours:
a) Check the automatic cut-out at maximum pressure, and the automatic cut-in at 2 bar below
maximum pressure.
b) Replace air filters (fig.4).
6.6. Operations to be carried out every 400 hours:
a) Replace the lubricating oil. For oil specifications see below.
Remove the oil dipstick/breather plug (fig.2.B) Drain oil into a suitable container. Drain when the
compressor is hot if possible, so that the oil drains rapidly and completely. Incline compressor to
ensure complete drainage. Refill with fresh oil through the oil filler/breather aperture. DO NOT
overfill. Replace oil filler/breather plug.
WARNING! Never mix different oils and DO NOT use non-detergent/low quality oils, as this may
damage the compressor.
Recommended oils: Recommended oil for compressors, suitable for temperatures ranging
from +5°C to +25°C: SEALEY CPO or equivalent SAE 40 compressor oil.
WARNING! Dispose of waste oil only in accordance with local authority requirements.
b) Check all tube fittings and electrical connections.
c) Inspect pressure tank inside and out for damage or corrosion.
6.8. IMPORTANT WARNING - Air contaminants taken into the compressor will affect optimum performance. Example: Body filler dust or
paint overspray will clog the pump intake filter and may cause internal damage to pump/motor components. Please note that any parts
damaged by any type of contamination will not be covered by warranty.
