DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES

DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS 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.

1.1.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and comply

with the following:

You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure they are safe

before using. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical

connections for wear or damage. You must ensure the risk of electric shock is

minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual

Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board.

We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all

electrical products.

It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are

plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB.

If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current

Device by contacting your dealer. You must also read and understand the

following instructions concerning electrical safety.

1.1.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical

appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified

electrician, at least once a year, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).

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 appliance operators.

If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.3. Ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before

connecting to the mains power supply.

See 1.1.1. & 1.1.2. above and use a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).

1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply, leads and plugs for wear or damage and

also power connections to ensure that none is loose.

1.1.6. Important: Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the

electrical power supply to be used and check that plugs are fitted with the

correct capacity fuse. A 13 amp plug may require a fuse smaller than 13

amps for certain products - see fuse rating below.

1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry appliance by power supply lead or output leads.

1.1.8. DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.

1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately

replace or have repaired by a qualified electrician. Where a U.K. 3 pin plug

with ASTA/BS approval is fitted, in case of damage, cut off and fit a new

plug according to the following instructions (discard old plug safely).

(UK only - see diagram below). Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via

a three-pin plug.

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 external insulation extends

beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.

Double insulated products are fitted with live (BROWN) and neutral (BLUE)

wires only. Double insulated products are always marked with this symbol

To re-wire, connect the brown & blue wires as indicated above.

DO NOT connect the brown or

blue wires to the earth

terminal.

1.1.10.

NOTE: If this product

requires more than a 13

amp electrical supply, then

NO plug is fitted. You must

therefore contact a

qualified electrician to

ensure that a 30 amp fused

supply is available.

We recommend you

discuss the installation of a

industrial round pin plug

and socket with your

electrician.

1.1.11.

Cable extension reels.

When a cable extension

reel is used it should be

fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD fitted is

recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will

be protected. The section of the cores in the cable is important and should

be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the cable

reel is suitable for this product and for others that may be used in the other

output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section.

1.2.

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.

1.3.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the charger as well as

the potential hazards. Also refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s handbook.

If in any doubt consult a qualified service agent.

Ensure the charger is in good order and condition before use. If in any doubt do

not use the unit and contact a qualified service agent.

Only use recommended attachments and parts. To use unapproved items may

be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.

Use the charger in the upright position only and ensure it is placed on a stable

surface which will adequately support its weight.

Ensure the charger is disconnected from the mains supply before attaching or

detaching the power clamps to/from the battery.

Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure you can see the

battery and working parts of engine clearly.

Ensure the output voltage of the charger is the same voltage as the 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.

If the charger receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a

qualified service agent before using.

If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty clean them before attaching the

power clamps.

Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.

DO NOT disassemble the charger for any reason. The charger must only be

checked by qualified service personnel.

DO NOT try to charge a non-rechargeable battery.

WARNING! To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion

DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area, or allow them to touch the battery

terminals.

DO NOT allow power clamps to touch each other or to make contact with any

metallic part of the vehicle.

DO NOT cross-connect power leads from charger to battery. Ensure positive (+/

RED) is to positive and negative (-/BLACK) is to negative.

DO NOT pull the cables or clamps from the battery terminals.

DO NOT use the charger outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations and DO NOT

operate within the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.

DO NOT use charger inside vehicle or inside engine compartment.

Ensure there is effective ventilation to prevent a build-up of explosive gases,

and do not cover or obstruct charger ventilation louvres.

DO NOT use the charger for a task for which it is not designed.

WARNING! DO NOT simultaneously charge batteries of different capacities or

discharge levels.

WARNING! If a fuse blows, ensure it is replaced with an identical fuse type and

rating. Use only Sealey genuine parts.

When not in use, store the charger carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.
