1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A
Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected
by an RCCB. If in any 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.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a
qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
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 the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2.
and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that none are loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be
used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is
damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely. Fit a new
plug according to the following instructions (UK only) and see right.
Subject to 1.1. above, the following details the fitting of a 13 amp plug since a 13 amp
supply will be adequate when starting small engines. No responsibility is accepted in the
event that the product is misused and/or used on a 13 amp supply 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 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 outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol
To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician
to ensure that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin
plug and socket with your electrician.
1.1.11. 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.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
 WARNING! Disconnect the mains power before servicing or performing any maintenance.
 Disconnect from the mains power before connecting to, or disconnecting from, the battery.
 Maintain START1224 in good condition (use an authorised service agent only).
 Keep START1224 clean for best and safest performance.
 WARNING! Ensure that there are no sources of flammable ignition near the work area i.e. naked flames, cigarettes, flame heaters, etc., as
the process produces explosive gases.
 WARNING! Ensure that the work area is well ventilated as the gases produced are flammable.
 Locate the START1224 in a suitable work area and keep the area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure adequate
lighting.
 Wear approved safety eye protection (standard spectacles are not adequate).
 Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
 Read the vehicle handbook to check for any specific battery charging or jump-starting information.
Check the electrolyte fluid level in the battery is above the plates. If not, add distilled water to cover them by 5-10mm. DO NOT touch the

battery fluid as it is corrosive.
Clean clamps and battery terminals, removing any oxidation before connecting the START1224 to the battery.

Ensure that the correct polarity clamp 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. (For negative vehicles only, for positive Earth vehicles consult the vehicle handbook for the correct
connection procedure.)
