4. Firmly connect the Red (+ Positive) Clamp
to battery positive (+) post, and the Black
(-Negative) Clamp to the battery (-) post.

Variable Load Adjusting Knob from the OFF
position to obtain the desired load (AMPS).
6. Hold the load (AMPS) for 15 seconds
until the test timer alarms goes off.
7. Read the result and voltage level on the Voltage
Gauge at the end of 15 seconds, then turn the
Variable Load Adjusting Knob to the OFF position.
8. Remove the Clamps from the battery posts.
9. Use the Temperature Compensation Chart
on the side of the Tester to compensate for
the temperature the battery is tested at. If
