GENERAL SAFETY
p
WARNING!
Disconnect the charger from the mains power before servicing or performing any maintenance.
3
Disconnect the charger from the mains power before connecting to, or disconnecting from the battery.
3
Maintain the charger in good condition (use an authorised service agent only).
p
WARNING!
charger has components such as switches and relays which may cause sparks or arcs. When using the charger in a garage or workshop, make sure it is in a safe location.
3
Keep the charger clean for best and safest performance.
p
WARNING!
Ensure there are no sources of flammable ignition near the work area i.e. naked flames, cigarettes, flame heaters etc as the charging process produces explosive gases.
p
WARNING!
ensure the working area is well ventilated as the gases produced are flammable and harmful if inhaled.
3
Locate the charger in an adequate working area for its function, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and ensure there is adequate lighting.
3
Wear approved safety eye protection (standard spectacles are not adequate).
3
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose jewellery, and contain long hair.
3
Read vehicle manufacturers instructions manual to check for any specific battery charging information.
3
Disconnect the battery from the vehicle and move it to a safe, dry level area for charging. If the battery can not be removed from the vehicle refer to manufacturers hand book.
3
Check the electrolyte fluid level in the battery is above the plates inside. If not add distilled water to cover them by 5 - 10mm.. DO NOT touch the battery fluid as it is corrosive.
3
Clean the charger clamps removing any oxidation before attaching to the battery to ensure a good contact.
3
Ensure the correct clamp polarity is attached to the correct terminal of the battery. POSITIVE is indicated by (+) and may be Red. NEGATIVE is indicated by (-) and may be black.
If there are no identifiable symbols, you can distinguish the NEGATIVE battery terminal as the one which is connected from the battery directly to the vehicle body.
3
Remove the battery electrolyte cover or caps to allow the gases produced by charging to escape.
3
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
7
DO NOT attempt to charge a non-re-chargeable battery.
7
DO NOT use the charger for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
7
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the charger.
7
DO NOT allow the charger terminal clamps to touch each other when the power is on or the charger fuse will blow. Remember that gases are produced which may ignite if sparks occur.
7
DO NOT place the charger inside the vehicle. Remove the battery to a safe distance for charging.
7
DO NOT get the charger wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
7
DO NOT operate the charger if damaged.
7
DO NOT attempt to modify or open the charger.
3
When not in use unplug from the mains power supply and store in a safe, dry, child proof area.
p
WARNING!
be vigilant and cautious during the operation of battery charging as the electrolyte is highly corrosive and emissions of gasses are flammable and harmful to health.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY.

WARNING! It is the users responsibility to check 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
and 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 recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly important to use an RCD
together with portable products that are plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a professional electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current
Device by contacting your Sealey dealer. You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.2.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on a business premises, to be tested by a qualified person at least once a year by using
a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
1.2.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance, and the safety of the appliance operator.
If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.2.3. DO ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply. See 1.2.1. above and use a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
1.2.4. DO ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.2.5. DO regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage, especially power connections to ensure that none are loose.
1.2.6. DO check that the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply to be used, and check that all fused plugs are fitted with the correct capacity fuse.
1.2.7. DO NOT pull or carry the powered appliance by its power supply lead. Products must not be pulled or carried by their output cables.
1.2.8. DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.
1.2.9. DO NOT use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or repair by qualified persons. 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 (UK only - see diagram at right).
1.2.10. Subject to 1.1. above, the following instruction is for fitting a 13Amp plug since this will be adequate for use when charging and when starting engines in small vehicles drawing
less than 13 Amps from the mains. No responsibility is accepted in the event that the product is misused and/or used with a 13Amp plug when a 30Amp supply is required.
a) Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug.
b) Connect the green/yellow earth wire to the earth terminal E.
c) Connect the brown live wire to live terminal L.
d) Connect the blue neutral wire to the neutral terminal N.

1.1. IMPORTANT:
Small battery chargers are supplied with plugs fitted. Boost chargers and start chargers however can draw more than 13 Amps from
the mains supply when used on start circuit whilst cranking large engines. For this reason therefore boost chargers are not supplied with plugs fitted. We recommend that
for maximum performance your boost charger is plugged into a 30Amp electrical supply, and further recommend that you consult an electrician in order to fit an appropriate plug.
The following statement on electrical safety must also be read and understood when using such equipment.
