3. PREPARING THE BATTERY
WARNING
WARNING
RISK OF
CONTACT WITH
BATTERY ACID.
BATTERY ACID
IS A HIGHLY
CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
3.1
Be sure the area around the battery
is well ventilated while the battery is
being tested.
3.2
Clean the battery terminals. Be careful
to keep corrosion from coming in
contact with your eyes, nose and mouth.
3.3
Inspect the battery for a cracked or
broken case or cover. If the battery is
damaged, do not use the tester.
3.4
If the battery is not a sealed
maintenance-free battery, check the
level of each cell and if necessary,
add distilled water until the battery
acid reaches the level specified by
the manufacturer. This helps purge
excessive gas from the cells. Do not
overfill.
3.5
If it is necessary to remove the battery
from the vehicle to test it, always
remove the ground terminal from the
battery first. Make sure all accessories
in the vehicle are off to ensure you do
not cause any arcing.
