Test Cable Maintenance

Here are a few things you can do to protect your test cables 

from damage and premature wear:

• 

The grease, dirt, and sulfation that build up on battery ter-

minals are highly corrosive and can damage the clamps 

over time. Before connecting the clamps, ensure accurate 

test readings and protect the clamps by cleaning the bat-

tery case and terminals using a wire brush and a mixture 

of water and baking soda.

• 

Periodically clean the clamps using a mixture of baking soda 

and water, or a mild hand-soap, and a small bristle brush.

• 

Clean the battery terminals. If stud adapters are required, 

fasten them with the proper tool.  Do not use the battery 

clamps to tighten adapters.

• 

Never remove the clamps from a battery to abort an ac-

tive charging session.  Always press the red STOP button 

before removing the clamps.

• 

Do not leave the clamps laying in battery acid.

• 

Hang the clamps on the cable wrap on the back of the GR8 

when not in use.

attaching the Charger Cables

The  two  connectors  for  the  charger  cables  are  located  on 

the back of the GR8. Three screws are included to secure the 

cables.  To attach the cables:
1.  Plug in the large connector (A), then plug in the small con-

nector (B).

A

B

2.  Slide the cover (C) down the cables until it seats against 

the sheet metal.

C

3.  Insert the screws through the holes in the cover and sheet 

metal.  Tighten  the  screws  securely  with  a  small  screw-

driver. (To remove the cables, use the attachment instruc-

tions in reverse.)
