TEST PROCEDURES / INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
1.
Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal battery operation. It is of the utmost importance
that each time before using your tester, you read these instructions very
carefully.
2.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you
intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Observe cautionary markings on
these items.
3.
Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.
4.
Do not operate tester with damaged cables-replace them immediately.
5.
Do not operate tester if it has been damaged in any way. Take it to a qualified
auto technician for repair.
6.
CARBON PILE LOAD IS 'ON' TO PREVENT BREAKAGE OF CARBONS
DURING SHIPMENT. BE SURE TO TURN LOAD 'OFF' BEFORE
CONNECTING TESTER TO BATTERY.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your
aid when you work near a lead acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing or eyes.
3. Wear safety glasses and clothing protection.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least ten
minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
could spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause
an explosion.

when working with a lead acid battery. It can produce a short circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal causing a severe burn.
