SAFETY
Electrical Safety
‰ WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:
Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe
before using. Inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections
for wear and damage. Sealey recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is
used with all electrical products. You may obtain an RCD by contacting your
local Sealey dealer. If the charger is used in the course of business duties,
it must be maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAT (Portable
Appliance Test) tested.
Electrical safety information, it is important that the following information is read and understood.
Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before
connecting it to the power supply.
Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check
all connections to ensure that they are secure.
Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be
used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse – see fuse rating in
these instructions.
DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable. Remove the plug from
the socket by maintaining a firm grip on the plug.
DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any
faulty item is repaired or replaced immediately by a qualified electrician.
This product is fitted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug.
If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch the electricity supply and
remove from use.
Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact
a qualified electrician.
Class II products are wired with live (brown) and neutral (blue) only and are marked with The Class II symbol;
Recommended fuse rating
3 Amp
A) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
B) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
C) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires and ensure that all
wires have been correctly connected.
Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that
the restraint is tight.
DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal. Sealey recommend that
repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.
▲ DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGING EQUIPMENT
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle
manufacturers, and the maker of any equipment you intend to use in the
vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and
on engines.
‰ WARNING! Modern vehicles contain extensive electronic systems.
You are required to check with the vehicle Manufacturer, for any specific
instructions regarding the use of this type of equipment on each vehicle.
No liability will be accepted for damage / injury, where this product is not
used in accordance with all instructions.
Personal Precautions
Ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice and close
enough to come to your aid, should a problem arise when working near a lead-
acid battery.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while
working near battery.
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing
or eyes.
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or
clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean running
water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and
watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current which is high
enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which would cause severe burns.
Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other
moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long hair.
DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or
engine.
1.2. General Safety Instructions

battery and working parts of engine clearly.
Ensure the output of the charger is the same voltage as the battery.
Ensure that during charging, the charger is placed in a location where there
is sufficient ventilation to prevent the build up of explosive gases from a
lead acid battery.
If battery has caps to access the battery fluid, remove the caps and check the
fluid level before connecting the power clamps. If
necessary top-up the battery with distilled water by referring to the battery
manufacturer’s instructions (Apply the personal safety precautions described
in part 1.2).
