Preparations Before the Test
Before connecting the tester, clean the battery posts or side terminals with
a wire brush and a mixture of baking soda and water. When testing side-
post batteries, install and tighten lead terminal adapters. A set of adapters is
included with the tester.
IMPORTANT:
Do not test at steel bolts. Failure to install terminal adapters or
installing terminal adapters that are worn or dirty may result in inac-
curate test results. To avoid damage, never use a wrench to tighten the
adapters more than 1/4 turn.
If you are testing in the vehicle, make sure all accessory loads are off, the key is
not in the ignition, and the doors are closed.
