User’s Manual Version 14.12
Do not attach the analyser clips directly onto the steel bolt that tightened to
the battery terminal posts; this may give inaccurate readings or inconsistent
results. (Note: This also applies to all other battery testing methods.)
If the battery terminal posts were oxidised or badly corroded and the
connections were bad, the analyser will prompt you to check the
connections. In this case, clean the terminal posts and performs testing
directly on the terminal posts it-self.
During testing on the battery while it is still in the car, make sure the engine
is OFF.
Do not store the analyser near high humidity or temperature area. Exposing
to extreme temperatures will cause damage to the unit.
3.0 Working with Batteries
Lead-acid batteries contain a sulfuric acid electrolyte, which is a highly corrosive
poison and will produce gasses when recharged and explode if ignited. It can hurt
you badly.
When working with batteries, make sure you have plenty of ventilation, remove
your hand jewelry, watch and wear protective eyewear (safety glasses), clothing,
and exercise caution.
Do not allow battery electrolyte to mix with salt water. Even small quantities of this
combination will produce chlorine gas that can KILL you!
Whenever possible, please follow the manufacturer's instructions for testing,
jumping, installing, charging and equalising batteries.
Never disconnect a battery cable from a vehicle with the engine
running because the battery acts like a filter for the electrical system.
Unfiltered [pulsating DC] electricity can damage expensive electronic
components, e.g., emissions computer, radio, charging system, etc.
