2.2 Other Precautions:

 This Battery Analyser is meant for testing of 12 Volts batteries only.
 Its operating voltage is from 9V ~ 15V DC and should not be tested on 24V
directly. It will cause damage the unit. For 12V x 2 batteries (in series or
parallel), disconnect the connections and test them individually.
 Battery that has just been charged by the charger contains surface charge and
it should be discharged by turning ON the Head lights for 3~5 minutes before
testing.
 Always attached the analyser clips on the lead side of the battery terminal
posts during testing so that it has a good contact. This will provide better and
accurate results.
Never lay tools on vehicle battery. You may short the terminals
together causing harm to yourself, the tools or the battery.
Engine parts become very hot when engine is running. To
prevent severe burns, avoid contact with hot engine parts.

Shock.
Always keep a fire extinguisher readily available and easily
accessible in the workshop.
