1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1.
IMPORTANT: Small battery chargers are supplied with plugs fitted. Starter/chargers, however, can draw more than 13 amps from the
mains supply when being used to crank large engines. For this reason starter/chargers are not supplied with a fitted plug. We
recommend that for maximum performance your starter/charger is plugged into a 30 amp electrical supply, and further recommend
that you consult an electrician in order to fit an appropriate plug.
The following statements on electrical safety must also be read and understood before using the starter/charger.
1.2.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY. p WARNING! It is the user’s 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
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 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 business premises, to be tested by a qualified
person, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
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 for wear and damage and all electrical connections to ensure that none is 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 and do not pull
plug by the cable. Products must not be pulled or carried by their output cables.
1.2.8. DO NOT use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace
or repair by qualified persons.
1.2.9. We do not recommend the use of an extension cable with the charger as the power
output may be seriously reduced.

1.2.10. Subject to 1.1. above, the following instruction is for fitting a 13 amp plug since this will be adequate for use when charging and when
starting engines in small vehicles. No responsibility is accepted in the event that the product is misused and/or used with a 13 amp plug
when a 30 amp supply is required.
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to 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 external insulation
extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
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 STARTER CHARGER.
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers and the manufacturer of any equipment you
intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.
1.3.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
3 Ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice, or close enough
to come to your aid, should a problem arise when working near a lead-acid battery.
3 Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
3 Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
3 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.
3 Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which may cause severe burns.
3 Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long hair.
7 DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.

3.3.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
3.3.1 Set the mode switch to ‘charge’, indicated by the battery symbol.
3.3.2. Set the required rate of charge by using the charge level switches as shown in fig.1 or fig.2. ( Please note that when MAX is selected in
fig.2 the switch marked 1 & 2 is over-ridden.)
3.3.3 Connect the charger to the mains power supply.
3.3.4. Check the current delivery to the battery by reading the ammeter on the front of the battery charger (fig.3 ammeter face may vary by
model). Initially, there will be a high rate of charge which will slowly decrease according to the capacity and condition of the battery.
3.3.5. When fully charged the ammeter reading should be close to “0” and the electrolyte in the battery should begin to gas. Stop charging to
protect battery plates from oxidisation and damage.
3.3.6. Switch charger off and unplug from mains power. Disconnect the power clamps, clean the charger and store in a safe, dry area.
3.3.7. Replace the battery electrolyte cover or caps. Wipe up any splashes or spillage (remember the electrolyte is a corrosive acid). Return
the battery to the vehicle, secure according the manufacturer’s instructions and re-connect the power leads. Check to ensure all
tools are removed before closing the bonnet or boot.

3.5.
NOTE: If charger is connected to a fully charged battery the ammeter will show a low charging output. NO charging is necessary.
DO NOT continue to charge a fully charged battery, as this will damage the battery. DO NOT leave a battery on charge unattended.
STARTING A VEHICLE WITH A FLAT BATTERY
Your starter/charger will deliver sufficient output to start a certain size of vehicle. ( This will vary according to what model you have.)
To charge a battery under normal circumstances refer to 3.3. To start a vehicle which has a flat battery proceed as follows:
3.5.1. Check the vehicle manufacturer’s handbook and follow any special instructions. Check that the battery is in good condition.
3.5.2. Ensure the starter/charger is disconnected from the mains power supply and, for models with dual voltage output, set the output voltage
to the same as the vehicle battery: i.e. 12 or 24 volts.
3.5.4. Check that the charger clamps and battery terminals are clean and free from oxidation.
3.5.5. Without removing the power leads that connect the battery to the vehicle, connect the charger POSITIVE (red) lead to the
POSITIVE (+) terminal on battery and the NEGATIVE (black) lead to NEGATIVE (-) terminal on the battery.
3.5.6. Plug starter/charger into mains power supply, select a low rate of charge and turn on. Allow the battery to charge for 2-3 minutes.
3.5.7. Turn starter/charger switch to the ‘Boost’ position (see figs.1 & 2) and wait for approximately 25 seconds (to allow charge to build). Turn
the vehicle ignition on and crank the engine for a MAXIMUM of 10 seconds. If the vehicle does not start, wait 30 seconds and then
try again.
p
WARNING! If the vehicle does not start after two attempts, DO NOT continue as vehicle battery and electrical circuits may be
damaged, and the fuse in the charger will blow. Disconnect the charger and investigate for vehicle faults
3.5.8. When the vehicle is running successfully, switch the starter/charger off, unplug from the mains power and disconnect the power terminals
from the battery. DO NOT attempt to start engine with starter/charger if the battery is disconnected from the vehicle.
4. FUSES
Your starter/charger is equipped with a safety fuse, or fuses, which will cut the power to the unit in the following circumstances:
a) Overload - too high a current to the battery.
b) Short circuit - clamps touch, or cross-connection to battery.
c) Prolonged starting attempts.
Should the fuse blow take the following action:
4.1. Turn the unit off and disconnect from the mains power supply.
4.2. Allow the unit to cool down, establish the reason for failure and correct.
4.3. Replace the fuse (under fuse cover on control panel). Use only Sealey replacement fuses. DO NOT use a fuse with copper bridges
or similar as these will damage your starter charger. Refer to Section 2 ‘Specifications’ for fuse information and part numbers. We
recommend you hold 2 or 3 spare fuses with the starter/charger.
Note: The use of an incorrect fuse will invalidate your warranty.
