Before use
•
Make sure the terminals are clean, if required clean them with a brush and apply special grease to protect
the terminals.
•
Refer to the user manual of the battery being tested for testing instructions and precautions prior to using the
tester.
•
Do not allow the two clamps from the testing cable to touch each other. Only touch the insulated part of the
clamps.
•
Do not connect the clamps or the battery poles through conductive tools or objects.
•
Do not connect the tester to the battery while the engine is running. Turn the engine off before connecting.
•
Undercharged lead-acid batteries will freeze during cold weather. Do not test or charge a frozen battery.
•
Do not smoke or have open flames near the battery.
•
Never remove tester clamps while testing.
•
Never touch the clamps and the terminals with wet hands.
•
Do not pull the clamps from the terminals by pulling on the clamp cables.
•
Do not touch the cooling vents on the tester during or immediately after testing the battery. They become
very HOT.
•
When placing the tester in the vehicle’s engine compartment, take special care that the metal housing of the
tester does not come in contact with either terminal of the battery or other electrical connections.
•
First check if the needle of the tester points to zero position, if not, adjust the zero adjuster accordingly.
•
After connecting the clamps, the needle should move to the right side, if it doesn’t move or moves in the
other direction, check the clamps for reverse connection or loose connection.
