ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
THE WEIGHT OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS AND/OR THE ASSEMBLED UNIT MAY EXCEED
THE SAFE LIMIT THAT MAY BE LIFTED BY ONE INDIVIDUAL. EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE
EXERCISED WHEN HANDLING THIS MACHINE !
a)
Attach the plastic handle to the outside of the upper belt guard with the self tapping screw.
b)
Thread the vise handle onto the vise.
c)
The upper guard interlock trip rod may need to be adjusted. Loosen the two (2) jam nuts on the interlock trip rod and
adjust the rod so that it trips the interlock switch just prior to the guard being in the DOWN position. Once the
adjustment is made, tighten the jam nuts to secure the trip rod in place. To test the operation of the interlock, listen
carefully as the guard is lowered. A faint "click" should be heard just before the guard is in the DOWN position,
indicating that the trip rod has tripped the switch.
d)
Plug the Universal Test Lead Set into the front panel. Read this manual completely before attempting to operate this
machine. This will insure years of trouble free operation and insure operator safety.
e)
In the event of hidden shipping damage, contact the carrier immediately. Do not discard the packaging materials -
save them for the carrier’s inspection.
INSTALLATION
a)
Once you have the tester assembled, it is very important to install your machine in the following manner:
b)
The tester must be placed on a sturdy work bench or counter that is larger than the base of the tester.
c)
The tester must be plugged into a dedicated 120 VAC, 60 Hz., GROUNDED wall receptacle. It is suggested that the
supply wire to the outlet be no smaller than #12 AWG and be as close to the circuit breaker panel or fuse box as
possible. It is also suggested that if fuses are used, that the fuse be of a 20 Amp. slow blow type.
Use of an extension cord may degrade the performance of the tester and is not recommended. It may also cause
serious internal heating in the machine.
d)
For safety reasons and ease of operation, the tester should be placed on a sturdy work bench or counter top.
WARNING: This equipment, or the equipment that it is testing, may produce arcing or emit

OPERATION
WARNING:
Attempting to test a generator without using the optional generator test module may cause damage
to the internal electronics of this tester.
NOTE:
The A/B switch must be properly positioned for alternators and generators. Normally alternators should
be tested with the switch in the "B" circuit.
Operating Procedures - Alternators:
a)
Mount the Alternator in the vise using the bar to secure the lower end to the vise. Secure the top portion of the
alternator with the hold down arm attached to the vise handle.
b)
Line up the motor and the Alternator pulleys by moving the vise to the left or to the right. Tighten the vise to the base
with the hold-down screws.
c)
Push the vise handle forward; attach the V-Belt and release the vise slowly.
d)
For Negative ground units, connect the large Black clamp (Ground) to the ground (GRD) terminal, or to the frame of
the Alternator being tested.
e)
For Negative ground units connect the small Red lead wire (Batt) to the terminal of the Alternator marked “BATT” or
“Output”.
NOTE:
On Positive ground units, the small Red lead and the large Black clamp are reversed.
