Operation And Use; Before Testing - Bahco BBT80 Original Instructions Manual

4. 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.
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:
Note: Each time you connect the tester to a battery, the tester will run a quick cable verification to
ensure a proper connection through the output cables to sensors in the clamp jaws. If the
connection checks out OK, the tester will proceed to the Home Screen. If the connection is poor,
the display will show "CHECK CABLE". In this case, check cable connections for visible signs of
damage, as you may need to re-connect the clamps to the battery or replace the cable end.
HOW TO REPLACE CABLE END:
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 TESTING:

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 pcs 1.5V batteries into the battery chamber. Oxyride batteries are
not recommended because of the initial 1.7 Volt output. If the 1.5V battery runs out of power,
screen will show "POWER LOW". Replace those 6 pcs 1.5V batteries before starting the 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. Clamp the black load
lead to the vehicle negative battery terminal. Clamp the red load lead to the vehicle positive
battery terminal. Please clamp on the lead part of the terminal only. Clamping on the iron part
of the terminal will lead to wrong test results.
