and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.

IMPORTANT:

 PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE 

THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR 
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

1.  SAFETY

 

Modern vehicles contain extensive electronic systems.

 

You are required to check with the vehicle Manufacturer, for any specific instructions regarding the use of this type of    

 

equipment on each vehicle. No liability will be accepted for damage / injury, where this product is not used in accordance  

 

with all instructions.

1.1.    

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

 

9

   Ensure there is another person within range of your voice and close enough to come to your aid, should a problem arise when  

 

  working near a lead-acid battery.

 

9

   Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.

 

9

   Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

 

9

   Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean 

 

running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

 

9

   Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current 

 

which is high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which would cause severe burns.

 

9

   Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long  

 hair.

 

8

   DO  NOT

 smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.

   Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the tester as well as the potential hazards.

 

Also refer to the vehicle    

 

  manufacturer’s hand book.

9

   Ensure the tester is in good order and condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit and contact an electrician.

 drop metal tools in the battery area, or allow them to  

 touch the battery terminals.

 

8

  

DO NOT

 cross connect leads from tester to battery. Ensure positive (+/RED) is to positive and negative (-/BLACK) is to
