Note:
During first use, you will notice a little smoke and/or a burning smell
coming from the unit. This is normal and will stop after a short burn-in
period.
Before testing make sure the battery terminals are really clean as grease
and dust could lead to errors in the test results. The battery MUST be
disconnected prior to cleaning. Check the battery and connections for any
cracks or damage before proceeding with cleaning and testing. To help
ensure a good connection of the battery load tester clamps, clean the
battery terminals with a solution of baking soda and water, and wipe the
battery terminals with a cloth to remove any dirt, grease and any residual
water.
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS
BEFORE SETUP AND TESTING.
WARNING!
CHECK CORD AND CLAMP FOR DAMAGE
BEFORE EVERY USE. DO NOT USE IF CORD OR CLAMP
INSULATION IS MISSING OR DAMAGED AND WIRE IS
