IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS, AND CAUTIONS.  USE THIS PRODUCT CORRECTLY, AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

1.2 GENERAL SAFETY

• Disconnect the cleaner from the power supply before servicing, changing accessories, or performing any maintenance.
• Use only genuine parts and accessories. Unauthorised parts and accessories may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.

WET VACUUM CLEANING

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1 ‘Safety Instructions’. Reminder: Remove plug from power supply before opening unit. DO NOT vacuum  solvents, explosives, inflammable and/or hazardous liquids such as petrol, oil, spirits, paint, thinners, acids etc.
5.1 Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply. (fig.4.1) Make sure the tank is clean and free from dust and dirt.
5.2 Remove the cartridge filter and fit a foam filter over the filter basket. (fig.4.2)
Replace the top section onto the container.

5.5 Press the switch to ‘On’ (position ‘I’). (fig.4.5)

Note: To vacuum large quantities of liquid, from a sink or tank etc, do not immerse the nozzle completely in the liquid, leave a gap at the top of the nozzle opening to allow  an air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve which stops the suction action when the tank has reached its maximum capacity. The user will notice an increase in  motor speed. When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply, remove the head from the container and empty the liquid into a suitable receptacle or  drain. (fig.4.6).
To continue vacuuming, refit the head and proceed. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and unplug from power supply. Empty the container and clean and dry the  inside and outside before storage.
Remember! After wet vacuuming the foam filter must be removed and a cartridge filter must be fitted before dry vacuuming again.
WARNING! Not designed for liquid storage. Always empty liquids after use and before storing.

BLOWING

6.2 Ensure the power switch is turned off (fig.5.2) and plug in the power supply. (fig.5.3)
6.3 Switch on the power (position ‘I’). (fig.5.4)
6.4 The unit will now blow through the hose and can be used to clear obstructions within the pipe. (fig.5.5)
WARNING! If after a few seconds the hose is still blocked turn of the unit and clear the hose manually.

MAINTENANCE

7.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE.
7.1.1 Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply.
7.1.2 Disconnect the hose from the container.
7.1.3 Undo the clasps and remove motor head from the container.
7.1.4 Clear out any dirt or debris from the container and hose.

7.2 CARTRIDGE FILTER MAINTENANCE.
7.2.1 Handle the filter carefully when cleaning or installing.
7.2.2 Carefully remove the cartridge filter (fig.6.1) and inspect it for damage. A filter that has small holes or tears in it will not perform efficiently and should be replaced.
7.2.3 To clean a dry filter, tap it inside a waste bin. (fig.6.2)
7.2.4 Do not use the filter if it becomes wet as the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. (The cartridge filter is designed for dry vacuuming only.) Should the  filter be inadvertantly wetted it should be rinsed from the inside (fig.6.2) and allowed to air dry for 24 hours.
7.2.5 To fit a new/cleaned filter slide it over the filter basket (fig.6.3) and push it fully home (fig.6.4).
