1J-39 Charging System:
• Use the correct terminal adapters.
Do not use any common bolts or a combination of bolts, nuts, and or washers as adapters when testing the battery.
Use the test adapters that are provided with the J 42000 or P/N 12303040 terminal adapters. If the adapters that are
provided with the J 42000 require replacement, use P/N 12303040. Any other adapter may not contact the correct
areas of the battery terminal, causing a resistance that may result in an invalid battery test result.
