1. SAFETY
▲ DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE
BATTERY TESTER.
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers, and the maker of any equipment you intend
to use in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
1.1.
Ensure that there is another person within hearing range and close enough to come to your aid, should a problem arise when working
9
near a lead-acid battery.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
9
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
9
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean
9
running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
9
which is high enough to weld such items to the vehicle and cause severe burns.
Ensure that hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine. Remove ties and contain
9
long hair.
DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.

9
book. IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED VEHICLE ELECTRICIAN.
Ensure that the tester is in good condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit and contact a qualified vehicle electrician.
9
Only use recommended attachments and parts. To use unapproved items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
9
Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure that you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
9
Determine the system voltage before using the tester.
9
If the tester receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
9
If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty clean them before using the tester.
9
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.

WARNING! To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area, or allow
‰
them to touch the battery terminals.
DO NOT cross-connect tester to battery. Ensure positive (RED) clamp is to positive terminal and negative (blAcK) clamp is to negative
8
terminal. If battery symbols cannot be distinguished, remember that the negative terminal is the one directly connected to the vehicle
bodywork.
DO NOT use the tester outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations and DO NOT use in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
8
Ensure there is effective ventilation to prevent a build-up of explosive gases.
9
DO NOT use the tester for a task for which it is not designed.
