PRIOR TO TESTING
Important:
Use stud or post adapters (provided with the MBT400) when connecting to side mount or Group 31 batteries outside of the vehicle. Or
connect battery clips on the base of threaded stud when testing (see Fig. below). Make sure adapters are properly tightened. Connecting the tester
directly to threaded studs or bolts will result in false readings. When connecting to batteries inside or outside of the vehicle, rock the clips back and
forth to ensure a good connection.
CHECK CONNECTION
may show on the display if a poor connection is detected. Reset clips if necessary.
