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 stockist.
If the product 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.
Important: 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.
- DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or is replaced immediately by a qualified electrician.

INTRODUCTION

Many users have found the advantages of propane heaters far outweigh the small additional running costs, as the fuel is more completely burned and does not leave an oily residue as experienced with paraffin, kerosene or diesel heaters. There is no odour, except for the few seconds during start-up and the units run a little more quietly since they do not need a compressor to drive the fuel to the burner. Durable paint finish. Fan assisted, fitted with a piezoelectric ignition system for trouble-free starting and features a direct gas head assembly. Features safety solenoid preventing the unit from leaking gas without first being electrically started. Supplied with an approved propane gas regulator and hose. To run cordless requires compatible 20V battery and mains charger, sold separately. CP20VBP4 (4Ah), CP20VBP6 (6Ah), CP20VMC (Mains Charger). Tested and certified to CE/EN standards. Manufactured to BS EN 1596.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: If a small gas cylinder is used, the heater may not operate at maximum efficiency. It is recommended to use two or more cylinders linked in parallel, to achieve maximum continuous efficiency.

CONNECTIONS

Check heater and gas cylinder to ensure that they are both in good condition. If not, stop and contact your supplier immediately.
Site the heater and gas cylinder in the location to be heated.
Connect the heaters mains charger to an electrical supply outlet, ensuring that both units are earthed correctly or insert battery. Connect the gas supply hose to the pressure regulator, and connect the regulator to the gas cylinder. Note: Left hand threads are used on these fuel gas fittings.
Connect the other end of the gas supply hose to the heater’s gas inlet connection. Ensure all connections are tight.
Gradually open the tap of the gas cylinder. Check hose and all fittings for gas leaks. Close gas tap if gas is present.
WARNING! DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAME to check for leaks, we recommend the use of a foamy soap solution.
Locate heater such that the rear intake is at least 2.5m from the nearest obstruction, there is at least 2m space on each side and a minimum of 3.5m of space in front of it IMPORTANT : To ensure continuous ventilation to the heater area, a ventilation opening must connect to the outside of the premises where the heater is to operate. The opening must be 100cm2 for every kW, and must be set at an equal distance from the upper and lower parts of heater operating area.

OPERATION

SWITCHING THE HEATER ON

Switch on/off switch to ‘On’. Check that the fan is running.
With the gas supply on (Section 4.1.6) and the Gas Valve depressed, click the piezo igniter button repeatedly until the gas is heard to ignite.
After ignition, keep the gas valve button depressed for at least 10 seconds and then release.
The flame should stay lit at this point. If it does not hold, repeat from 5.1.2.

SWITCHING THE HEATER OFF

Close the tap on the gas bottle to isolate the gas supply.
Allow the fan to run for at least 30 seconds after the flame has extinguished before switching off.
When the heater is not in use, disconnect it from electrical and gas supply and store it in a safe, dry, childproof location.
WARNING! If the flame shuts down during operation, before repeating the ignition sequence, make sure that the fan is not jammed, and the air inlet and outlet are completely free of obstructions. If it is due to overheating, the cause of the problem must be determined and corrected before repeating the ignition procedure.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING Before commencing service or maintenance, disconnect the heater from the electrical and gas supplies and allow to cool fully. Use authorised parts only.

Unauthorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Should the heater require service or maintenance, a suitably qualified engineer should carry this out or contact your local Sealey service agent.
Check the gas supply hose and gas regulator condition regularly, change if necessary using only original spare parts.
Clean the heater with a damp cloth, DO NOT use abrasive or solvent or abrasive cleaners.

WARNING: AIR CONTAMINANTS

Air contaminants taken into the heater will damage the unit, cause health problems and safety issues.
For example: Body shop filler dust and overspray dust will clog the burner diffuser, contaminate the combustion chamber and damage the internal parts of the heater. If contaminants are present the heater must be supplied with ducted clean air.
Please note that any parts damaged by filler dust or overspray dust will not be covered by warranty. Additionally a cleaning charge will be made for any heaters damaged by filler dust or overspray dust.
