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 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 g the is applian cfiet ted suitsw 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

This product is fitted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch off the electricity supply and remove from use. Ensure that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician. Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician

1. Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
2. Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
3. Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.

Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight. Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualified 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.

• 5.1.4. Insert the steel rod of the hose holding rack into the two holes located on the top of the mounting rack. (fig.3.7).
• 5.1.5. Choose a wall that is not more than 5.5mtr away from an electrical outlet. Use the Mounting Rack Hole Template (see section 9) to align the three screw holes into a sound wall. Make sure it is level, drill 3mm pilot holes and secure the rack onto the wall using the three screws provided. (fig.3.8).

MOUNTING THE VACUUM ONTO THE RACK

• The vacuum comes ready for dry vacuum cleaning. If the cartridge filter is not installed refer to 9.7. (fig.3.9 & fig.3.10).

• 5.2.3. For wet vacuuming install the supplied foam filter. (fig.3.12) See 9.9 for filter installation.
• 5.2.4. Place the power head onto the container, and secure with the two side latches. (fig. 3.13 & 3.14).
• 5.2.5. Mount the vacuum onto the mounting rack by aligning the vacuum hanging hook on the rear, with the slot on the mounting rack and slide downwards until it locks. (See 3.15).

• WARNING! DO NOT vacuum drywall dust, soot or ash. This is very fine dust which will not be captured by the filter and may cause damage to the motor and void the warranty.

REMOVING THE VACUUM FROM THE RACK

• 5.3.1. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
• 5.3.2. Lift the vacuum up and out of the rack by its handle.

Flammable gases include, but are not limited to: lighter fluid, solvent type cleaners, oil based paints, gasoline, alcohol or aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts include, but are not limited to: coal, magnesium, grain or gun powder. To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapours or dust, DO NOT vacuum toxic materials.

BEFORE DRY VACUUMING

• Make sure the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (fig.4.1 & 4.1.2). Verify that the cartridge filter is securely mounted. Make sure that the filter is pushed in until it stops against the power head. (fig.4.2).
• 6.1.2. Place the filter retainer on top of the cartridge filter and tighten by turning the retainer handle clockwise. (fig.4.3).

• WARNING! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, remove the vacuum from the mounting rack and put it on the floor. The vacuum can be heavy when full of liquids and may be difficult to remove from the rack

BEFORE WET VACUUMING

• 7.1.1. Check that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (fig.5.1)
• 7.1.2. Check that the container is clean and free of dust and dirt.
• 7.1.3. Remove cartridge filter and dust collection bag, then carefully install the foam filter over the filter cage and place the power head back on the container. (fig.5.2)
• DO NOT use the cartridge filter or dust collection bag for liquid vacuuming

WET VACUUMING

When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from the power supply and empty the container into a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the power head to the container. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove from the power supply. To prevent the risk of possible mildew refer to 7.2.4.
