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 stockist. 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.

PREPARATION

4.1. Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any shortages or damage.
4.2. Confirm that the 110V voltage corresponds with the voltage shown on the compressor data plate.
4.3. The compressor should be installed on a flat surface, or one that does not exceed 10° either transversely or longitudinally, (see fig.1) and should be in a position that allows good air circulation around the unit.
IMPORTANT! The compressor is supplied without oil in it. The oil is in a separate container. Remove the transit plug from the oil filler aperture, pour oil into the aperture until it has reached the correct level on the sight glass (fig.2B). Fit the oil filler/breather supplied into the aperture.
DO NOT aTTEMPT TO RUN THE COMPRESSOR UNTIL THIS HaS BEEN DONE.
4.4. Ensure that the air vent in the oil filler/breather is free from debris. If the air vent is blocked, pressure can build up in the crankcase causing damage to the compressor and possible personal injury.
4.5. Fit the air filter into the inlet port if required (fig.4).

TOOL SELECTION

IMPORTANT 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 – and so it is important that, before choosing equipment, you study the ‘Free Air Delivery’ figures shown in the Specification Chart.

OPERATION

WARNING! ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND APPLIED SECTION 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
6.1. make sure that the main switch (fig.3.1) is ‘OFF’ (down).
6.2. Check the oil level by looking through the sight glass (See fig.2B).
6.3. Ensure that the tank drain valve is closed (fig.5).
6.4. Close the outlet pressure regulator by turning the knob clockwise (fig.3.2).
6.5. Connect the air tool required to the compressor via an air line connected to the air outlet.
6.6. Plug the mains cable into the mains supply and start the compressor by pulling up the main switch (fig.3.1).
6.7. Allow the pressure in the tank to rise to the maximum at which point the compressor will automatically cut out. Tank pressure is shown on the larger gauge (fig.3.5).
6.8. Begin to gradually open the regulator by turning the knob until the small gauge registers the required operating pressure specified for the tool to be used. Always adjust up to the required pressure rather than down from a higher pressure. The required setting, once achieved, can be locked by screwing the locking ring (fig.3.3) up tight underneath the adjusting knob.
6.9. You can now begin to use the tool. The compressor will operate automatically cutting in and out as required to restore the air pressure in the tank. The pressure switch (fig.3.7) stops the motor when the maximum tank pressure is reached and restarts it when pressure falls below the minimum threshold – approximately 2bar (29psi) less than the maximum pressure.
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 appliance.
b) The main gauge (fig.3.5) indicates the pressure inside the main tank, NOT the pressure supplied to the air equipment, which is shown on the smaller gauge (fig.3.4). Should the pressure in the main tank exceed the pre-set switch (fig.3.7) maximum, the safety valve (fig.3.6) will activate. WARNING! For this reason DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the switch or the safety valve.
6.10. When the compressor is not being used set the regulated pressure to zero so as to avoid damaging the pressure regulator.
6.11. To stop the compressor press down the main switch (fig.3.1).
6.12. When the compressor stops there will be a whistling sound as compressed air is vented from the compressor head.
DO NOT, other than in an emergency, stop the compressor by switching off the mains power, or by pulling the plug out, as the pressure relief will not then occur and motor damage may result upon restart.
6.13. When you have finished using the compressor unplug the unit from the mains power supply.
6.14. Set the outlet pressure on the regulator to zero.
6.15. Remove the air line and air tool.
6.16. The tank must now be drained. This will release the air left in the tank and drain away condensation that may have formed within the tank. Choose a suitable location for this operation and/or make provision to collect the condensation. Wear ear and eye protection.
Open the tank drain valve (See fig.5) slowly allowing air and moisture to bleed from the tank. After bleeding close the drain valve to prevent debris building up in the valve.
WARNING! Water that is allowed to remain in the tank during storage will corrode and weaken the air tank which could cause the tank to rupture. To avoid serious injury drain the tank after each use or daily.
6.17. SAFETY FEATURES
Thermal cut out: If the unit overheats the thermal cut out will operate and shut the unit down. Allow the unit to cool down then press the reset button, located just inside the pump cover (fig.7).

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Before performing any maintenance operation, switch the compressor off, disconnect from electricity supply and release all air from the tank. In order to keep the compressor in good working condition, periodical maintenance is essential.
7.1. After the first 50 working hours replace the lubricating oil – see para 7.4.
7.2. OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT DaILY:
a) Drain condensation, place a container under the valve and open the valve by turning anti-clockwise (fig.5). Retighten the valve.
b) Check that all nuts and bolts are tight, particularly those retaining the crankcase and cylinder head.
7.3. OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 100 HOURS:
(or more frequently, if the compressor operates in a very dusty atmosphere):
a) Check oil level and, if necessary, top up.
b) Remove the filter element (fig.4) and clean by blowing through with an air line at low pressure, from the clean side.
Alternatively, wash in soapy water, rinse and dry. DO NOT operate the compressor without the filter as foreign bodies or dust could seriously damage the pump.
c) Check for oil leaks
7.4. OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 200 HOURS:
a) Replace the lubricating oil. For oil specifications see below. Remove the oil filler plug (fig.2A) and undo the drain bolt (fig.2C), draining the oil into a container. Drain when the compressor is hot so that oil drains rapidly and completely. Incline compressor to ensure complete drainage. Replace the drain bolt and refill with fresh oil through the filler aperture. DO NOT overfill. Replace plug (fig.2A).
Recommended oil for compressors, Suitable for room temperatures ranging from +5ºC to +25ºC. SEALEY CPO or equivalent SAE 40 compressor oil.
Room temperature below +5ºC: SAE 20 compressor oil.
WARNING! Never mix different oils and do not use non-detergent/low quality oils as the compressor may be damaged. Dispose of waste oil only in accordance with local authority requirements.
b) Check the automatic cut-out at max. pressure and the automatic cut-in at 2 bar below.
7.5. OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 500 HOURS:
a) Replace air filter.
b) Check all tube fittings and electrical connections.
IMPORTANT! Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may invalidate the warranty on your compressor.
Inspection of pressure tank both inside and out.
7.6. Under the PRESSURE SYSTEMS SAFETY REGULATIONS 2000, it is the responsibility of the owner of the compressor to initiate a system of inspection that both defines the frequency of the inspection and appoints a person who has specific responsibility for carrying out the inspection.
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.
