Your Tech550 has been designed especially for the rugged automotive shop environment.  When properly cared for and 

maintained, it will provide years of service. However, accidents happen, and when they do, Bartec stands at the ready to 

deliver excellent support and service to get you up and running again.

LEANING

Like all electronic tools, your PRO Series tool should always be kept in a safe place away from 

liquids and damaging chemicals.  From time to time, cleaning of the enclosure and the screen 

will be required.  To clean the tool, use a mild, non-abrasive spray cleanser applied to a soft 

cloth, and wipe the external surfaces of the tool.

The PRO Series tool is not field serviceable. If damage occurs, or the tool does not power on, follow these steps to get you 

back up and running again: 

1.

 

Contact our Technical Support team with your concerns. Please ensure your tool is 

registered and have the serial number ready. 

2.

 

If our Technical Support team cannot correct your issues in the field, they will begin the 

process for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) to have your tool sent in for service. Our 

Technical Support team will pass your information along to our Repair department. 

Information you should receive includes: 

 

Your RMA # 

 

Ship-to address of our repair facility. 

 

Confirmation of your return shipping address
