Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being tested.
■
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
■
Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If battery is damaged, do not use tester.
■
If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches
■
level specified by the manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill.
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.
Note
Each time the tester is connected to a battery, the tester performs a quick test of the cable to
ensure proper connection via the output cables to the sensors in the jaws. After a successful
connection (OK), the tester switches to the main screen. If the connection is not OK, "TEST
CABLE" appears in the display. In this case, check the cable for visible damage, because it
may be necessary to reconnect the terminals to the battery or replace the cable ends.
Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition, all accessories and loads. Close all the vehicle
■
doors and the luggage compartment.
4 pieces of 1.5 V alkaline batteries (item no. 0827 02) must be in the battery compartment of the testing
■
device (on the rear). If these batteries runs out of power, screen will show "replace internal battery" or
"power low". Replace these 4 alkaline batteries before starting the test. Bear in mind that the display
does not output a message until the battery tester is correctly connected to the vehicle battery.
Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire brush them if necessary. Clamp the black load lead to
■
the vehicle negative battery terminal. Clamp the red load lead to the vehicle positive battery terminal.
