Instructions
Preparation before the Test
Before connection the tester, clean the battery posts or side terminals with a wire brush
and a mixture of baking soda and water.
IMPORTANT:
Do not test a steel bolts. Failure to install terminal adapters or installing
terminal adapters that are worn or dirty may result in inaccurate 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.
Connecting the Tester
Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal and the black clamp to the negative
(-) terminal.
For a proper connection, rock the clamps back and forth. The tester requires that
both sides of each clamp be firmly connected before testing.
The preferred test position is at the battery terminals. If the battery is not accessible,
you may test at the jumper post; however, the available power measurement may be
lower than the actual value.
