3. Safety Instructions

3.1 General Safety Precautions

 This battery analyser is only suitable for testing 12 V batteries.
 The operating voltage being 9 V to 15 V, this tester should not be
connected to 24 V directly as it will cause damage to the unit. For
2 x 12 V batteries in series, disconnect them and test them separately.
 A freshly-charged battery contains surface charge and should be slightly
discharged by turning on the car's headlights for 3 to 5 minutes before
testing.
 Always fix the crocodile clips on the lead side of the battery terminal
posts during testing and make sure they make good contact.
 Do not fix the crocodile clips directly onto the steel bolt, which is
tightened to the battery terminal posts. This may give inaccurate
readings or inconsistent results.
 If the battery terminal posts are oxidized, the battery analyser will
prompt you to check the connections. In this case, clean the terminal
posts and perform the testing directly on the terminal posts themselves.
 Make sure to switch off the engine if the battery is still sitting in the car.
3.2 Working with Batteries
 Lead-acid batteries contain a sulphuric acid electrolyte, which is highly
corrosive. It will produce gases when recharged and explode if ignited.
 Provide plenty of ventilation, remove your jewellery, wear protective
eyewear and clothing, and exercise caution.
 Do not allow battery electrolyte to mix with salt water. Even small
quantities of this combination will produce lethal chlorine gas.
 Carefully read the battery's user manual if possible.
