WARNING
Read these instructions completely before using the tester and save them
for future reference. Before using the tester near a car, truck or boat, read these
instructions and the instruction manual/safety information provided by the car,
truck, boat or equipment manufacturer. Following all manufacturers’ instructions
and safety procedures will reduce the risk of accident.
Working around lead-acid batteries may be dangerous. Lead-acid batteries release
explosive gases during normal operation, charging and jump starting. Carefully read
and follow these instructions for safe use. Always follow the specific instructions in
this manual and on the tester each time you use it.
All lead-acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may
violently explode in the presence of fire or sparks.
Do not smoke, use matches or
a cigarette lighter while near batteries.
Do not handle the battery while wearing
vinyl clothing because static electricity sparks are generated when vinyl clothing is
rubbed. Review all cautionary material on the tester and in the engine compartment.
Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety
equipment when working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working
on or around lead-acid batteries.
Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving
parts may cause severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in
the vehicle's Owner's Manual.
Batteries being tested with the tester likely contain liquid acids which are hazardous
if spilled.
