y Reminder

For safe, efficient, and accurate charging and testing, review 

the  safety  and  operating  instructions  in  this  manual  before 

using  the  analyzer.  In  addition,  follow  all  manufacturers’ 

instructions  and  BCI  (Battery  Council  International)  safety 

recommendations.
We  also  recommend  that  you  register  the  GR8  to  activate  your 

warranty. See “Registering Your GR8” on the next page.

  Safety Precautions

Inspect the battery for damages and check the electrolyte level. 

If the electrolyte level is too low, replenish it and fully charge 

the battery. Always use the necessary safety precautions when 

working  with  batteries  to  prevent  severe  injury  or  death. 

Follow all manufacturers’ instructions and BCI (Battery Council 

International)  safety  recommendations,  which  include  the 

following precautions:

 

DANGER—RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES:

 Batteries can pro-

duce a highly explosive mix of hydrogen gas and oxygen, 

even when the battery is not in operation. Always work in a 

well-ventilated area. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame 

in the vicinity of a battery.

 

WARNING—REQUIRED  BY  CALIFORNIA  PROP.  65:

  Bat-

tery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead 

and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of Cali-

fornia to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-

tive harm. Wash hands after handling.

 Battery acid is highly corrosive. If acid enters your eyes, im-

mediately flush them thoroughly with cold running water 

for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If bat-

tery acid gets on your skin or clothing, wash immediately 

with a mixture of water and baking soda.

 Always  wear  proper  safety  glasses  or  face  shield  when 

working with or around batteries.

 Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as the analyzer cords 

and cables away from moving engine parts.

 Remove any jewelry or watches before you start servicing 

the battery.

 Use caution when working with metallic tools to prevent 

sparks or short circuits.

 Never lean over a battery when testing, charging, or jump 

starting.

 Never charge a frozen battery. Gases may form, cracking 

the case, and spray out battery acid.
