Ensure the charger is disconnected from the mains supply before attaching/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 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.

DO NOT try to charge battery if battery fluid is frozen.
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 genuine Sealey parts.
When not in use, store the charger carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.

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 use whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication.
1.3.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.
Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the charger as well as the potential hazards. Also refer to the vehicle
manufacturer’s hand book. IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Ensure the charger is in good order and condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit, contact your Sealey Dealer.
Only use recommended parts. The use of unauthorised parts 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.
Powerful 20Amp output microprocessor controlled battery charger, suitable for batteries up to 230Ah. Digital display and 150A max engine start
function, make this unit ideal for every workshop. Patented Speed Charge technology maximises charge input and is self-adjusting with
variable charge rates. Ensures shortest possible charge time while minimizing the risk of gassing and damage to the battery. Charges 6V or 12V
batteries up to 3 times quicker than conventional battery chargers. Dedicated charging programmes for AGM/gel, conventional, leisure and stop/
start batteries with fully automated charging algorithms including de-sulphating mode. Deep discharge battery programme to help the recovery
of deeply discharged batteries. The charge rate selector allows the operator to override the standard charge rate and choose a soft start
programme for very cold batteries which also enables the charging and maintenance of small batteries. Fast charge programme for larger
batteries and 3A slow charge programme for charging and maintaining smaller batteries. Includes automatic maintenance mode to keep
batteries at optimum levels for extended periods of time. Reverse polarity protection and automatic shut-off are included as standard. Includes
built-in digital voltmeter and state-of-charge test with wipe clean touch pad controls.

4.1.
Remove all cord wraps and uncoil the cables prior to using the battery charger.
4.2.
If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, always remove the grounded terminal first. Make sure all of the
accessories in the vehicle are off to prevent arcing.
