PREPARING TO TEST:
1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is
being tested.
2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming
in contact with eyes.
3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If battery
is damaged, do not use tester.
4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in
each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by the manu
-facturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill.
5. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to test, always remove
ground terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the
vehicle are off to ensure you do not cause any arcing.
OPERATION & USE:
REPLACEMRNT OF WIRE LEAD
1. Detach the clamp lead when the replacement is necessary.
2. Make sure the new clamp lead is well connected.
NOTE that do not detach the cables unless necessary to make sure
the pins are not rusted or corroded by the acid liquid.

BEFORE TEST
1. Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition, all
accessories and loads. Close all the vehicle doors and the trunk lid.
2. Make sure you have put 6 AA 1.5V batteries into the battery
chamber. Oxyride batteries are NOT recommended because of the
initial 1.7 Volt output. If the internal 1.5V batteries run out of power,
the display will show "POWER LOW". Replace those AA 1.5V
batteries before starting a new test.
Note that nothing will be seen on the display until the tester is
connected to a vehicle battery.
3. Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire brush them if
necessary. Connect the red clamp to the positive battery terminal
post; connect the black clamp to the negative battery terminal post.
For the most accurate results, clamp on the lead part of the terminal
only. Attaching to the clamp or fixture rather than directly on the
terminal will lead to unstable wrong test results.
