PRIOR TO TESTING
Important:
Use stud or post adapters (provided with the ATD5493) when connecting to side mount or Group 31 batteries
outside of the vehicle. Or connect battery clips on the base of threaded stud when testing (see Fig. below). Make sure
adapters are properly tightened. Connecting the tester directly to threaded studs or bolts will result in false readings. When
connecting to batteries inside or outside of the vehicle, rock the clips back and forth to ensure a good connection.
