FJC 45110 Operator's Manual

CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION
WARNING
A RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES is always present when in the presence of a battery. Lead Acid batteries generate
explosive gases during normal operation, charging or testing. Always follow these instructions when operating the
battery tester.
TO HELP PREVENT EXPLOSIONS:
1. Only charge or test batteries in a well ventilated area.
Use distilled water to add to each cell until battery acid reaches battery manufacture's specified level. Do not over-fill the
2.
battery. Do not charge or test a battery without cell caps. Carefully follow manufacturer's instructions.
3. Do not smoke or allow sparks or open flames near any battery which is being charged or tested. It is good practice not to
smoke or allow sparks or open flames around any battery.
Always follow battery manufacturer's instructions.
4.
5. Always turn off battery tester before connecting or disconnecting the tester to or from the battery.
CAUTION:
Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid, which can cause severe damage to skin, eyes, and clothing. When skin,
eyes or clothing comes in contact with battery acid, perform the following:
1. If acid comes in contact with eyes: Force eyes open and flood with cool running water at least for 10 minutes, then
contact a doctor. Do Not Use eye drops or other medication before contacting a doctor.
2. If acid comes in contact with skin: Remove contaminated clothing and run cool water over skin for at least 10 minutes.
During the battery charging or testing process, an explosive gas forms inside each of the batteries cells. This gas may escape through
vent holes in the caps and create an explosive condition. If sparks or a flame ignites this gas it can burn back into the battery and
cause the battery to explode. An explosion such as this is very dangerous and can cause the battery acid to be sprayed in to the
surrounding area.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
1. When working near or testing a battery always wear complete protection: Approved Eye Protection, Approved Gloves and
Protective Apron.
2. When working near or handling a battery always thoroughly wash hands before touching skin or eyes.
3. If acid contacts skin or clothing; remove clothing and wash skin immediately with soap and water.
4. If acid comes in contact with eye; flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and contact a doctor
immediately. Do Not Use eye drops or other medication before contacting a doctor.
5. Do not smoke or allow sparks or open flames near any battery which is being charged or tested. It is good practice not to
smoke or allow sparks or open flames around any battery.
6. Do not use tools near a battery that could cause a spark or could contact both positive and negative terminals at the same
time causing a spark and short circuiting the battery.
7. Personal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches which are metal should not be worn when working with
a lead-acid battery. Metal jewelry which comes in contact with a lead acid battery can cause a short circuit resulting in a
