NOTES
Keep leads free of oil. Clean with warm, soapy water.
Never insert an object into the fan vents. This can
cause electrical and/or mechanical damage. Never cover the fan vents.
Never attempt to open up or repair the tester. Repairs should only
be done by an authorized repair center. Note: Doing so could void
the warranty.
Always be sure the tester is off and the smart clamps are removed
before cleaning.
SMART CLAMPS
TM
Both jaws of each
clamp must firmly
engage the battery
terminal. One copper
jaw connects to the
smaller gauge wire that
reads the voltage and
the other jaw connects
to the larger conducting
wire that draws the load
in each test. Electrical
isolation between
jaws is necessary for
accurate readings. For
side terminal battery
connection, the threaded stud connects to the smaller gauge wire
that reads the voltage, and the load pad ring connects to the larger
conducting wire that draws the load in each test. Damaged clamps
or loose wires will affect the readings. Keep clamps clean and in
good repair.
Use the side terminal feature on the clamp to connect battery side
terminals. When testing dual post batteries always check the post to
which the vehicle system is attached.
