WARNING!
Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety and operational instructions before
applying the tester probes to the battery. Only when you are sure that you understand the procedures is it
safe to proceed with the testing process.
3.1.
Preparation
3.1.1. Check battery casing for cracks or leakage and confirm that it is 12 volts.
3.1.2. Clean battery terminals.
3.1.3. If possible, check electrolyte levels and top up with distilled water as necessary.
#
WARNING!
Ensure vehicle, or battery, is in a well ventilated area before starting to test.
3.1.4. Remove the caps from the ends of the probes, press one probe to the positive (+) battery terminal and the
other probe to negative (-) terminal. Note that this tester is not polarity sensitive. If the pointer does not
move, either there is a bad connection
or
the battery is completely dead.
3.1.5. Note the meter reading, remove the tester from the battery and re-fit the caps to the end of the probes.
3.1.6. Refer to the chart below for diagnostics.
