SAFETY INFORMATION
Working in the vicinity of lead-acid battery is DANGEROUS due to EXPLOSIVE
GASES generated by the battery which can be ignited by a spark, cigarette or
flame and blow the battery apart, forcefully showering the area with battery pieces
and acid.
To reduce the chance of exploding batteries follow instructions by manufacturers
of batteries as well as these instructions.
IN CASE OF ACCIDENT RINSE EYES WITH CLEAN WATER AT LEAST 5
MINUTES AND SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. NEVER USE EYE DROPS
OR OTHER MEDICATION UNLESS DIRECTED BY A DOCTOR.
When around lead-acid batteries wear eye protection and avoid touching or
rubbing the battery as well as clothing, skin and eyes. NEVER smoke, have an
open flame or sparks near battery. Have plenty of ventilation and keep your face
as far as possible from the battery. Undercharged lead-acid batteries will freeze
during cold weather. Never test or charge a frozen battery. Do not allow tools to
drop onto a battery. Do not lay tester on battery.
BATTERY LOAD TEST
1. Turn off engine and all accessories.
2. Connect negative (black) clamp to the negative (NEG, N, - ) battery post.
Connect positive (red) clamp to positive (POS, P + ) battery post. “Rock”
clamps back and forth to insure a good electrical connection. For batteries
with side terminals, use the adapters in clamps.
3. With the clamps connected, the tester’s display will indicate the battery’s
STATE OF CHARGE by displaying the battery open terminal voltage. If the
voltage is less than 12.4 volts, the battery should be recharged before testing.
When the battery voltage is below 12.4, the tester display will alternately
read the battery voltage and the message CH, instructing the battery must be
charged. If recharging does not bring the voltage above 12.4, than the
battery is defective.
