BASIC CONNECTIONS (fig.2).

3.1.1.   

unroll the unit’s cable. Attach the red battery clip to the positive (+) terminal on the vehicle’s battery and the black clip to the negative  

 

(-) terminal on the vehicle’s battery. the test probe will commence a self test for several seconds, with the buzzer sounding, green test  

 

indicator, red test indicator and the built in work light all illuminating in sequence.

3.2.    

QuicK seLF test.

3.2.1.   

With the battery clips still attached press and hold down the power switch (7) in the single bar ‘PositiVe’ position. the test indicator  

 

(5) should illuminate red.

3.2.2.   

Press and hold down the power switch (7) in the double bar ‘neGAtiVe’ position. the test indicator should illuminate Green.

3.2.3.   

the unit is now ready to use. if the test indicator did not illuminate, the cause may be that the battery clip connections are poor or the  

 

unit is damaged.  

3.3.

3.3.1.   

With the battery clips attached, contact the auxiliary earth lead (10) to the work light touch switch (9) for about 1 second, then remove.  

 

To turn off work light, contact auxiliary earth lead (10) with work light touch switch (9) for about 1 second again.
