BATTERY TESTER SAFETY WARNINGS (cont.)
- This appliance is not intended for lithium batteries unless for scooters.
- This appliance is not intended for use by young or infirm persons unless
supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance
safely.
- The warnings, cautions and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur.
- Common sense and caution are factors that cannot be built into this product but
must be supplied by the operator.
- It is recommended to work with someone who can come to your aid when
working near a lead acid battery.
- Do not come in contact with leaking battery.
- Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing or eyes.
- If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least ten
minutes and get medical attention immediately.
- Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
could spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an
explosion.
- Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches
when working with a lead acid battery. It can produce a short circuit current high
enough to weld a ring or the like to metal causing a severe burn.
- Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with
eyes.
- Before testing inspect the battery for cracks or broken case or cover. Of the
battery is damaged, do not use tester.
Work Area
- Operate in a safe work environment. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
- Keep anyone not wearing the appropriate safety equipment away from the work
area.
Note: Minimize distractions in the work environment.
- Distractions can cause you to lose control of the tool.
- When connecting the battery tester cables to the battery, avoid creating sparks;
especially when the battery is being charged. Explosive gases are created during
charging. Sparking could also damage the vehicle electrical system.
- Always lock up tools and keep them out of the reach of children
- Do not expose battery tester to rain, snow or wet conditions.
- Stay clear of hot engine and car parts.
BATTERY TESTER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
-Personal Safety
- Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and protective gloves during set up and use
of the Battery Tester.
- Test in a well ventilated area. Explosive gases may be produced during testing.
Do not smoke, cause sparks, or strike matches near the battery when testing.
- Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working. Wear steel-toed boots to prevent injury from falling
objects.
- Refer to the user manual of the battery being tested for testing instructions and
precautions prior to using the battery tester.
- Do not connect in reverse polarity.
- Use this product in accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of this product for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
- This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
- Maintain labels and nameplates on the unit. These carry important safety
information.
- People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. Caution is necessary when near coil,
spark plug cables, or distributor of running engine. Engine should be off during
distributor adjustment.
- Undercharged lead-acid batteries will freeze during cold weather. Do not test or
charge a frozen battery.
- Do not smoke or have open flames near the battery.
- Never remove battery load tester clamps while testing.
- Ensure automatic vehicles are in park with the handbrake engaged before
starting the engine.
- Ensure manual vehicles are in neutral with the handbrake engaged before
starting the engine.
- Put blocks on drive wheels and never leave car unattended while running tests.
- Road Safety Road Rules 2009 penalty code 2135, it is illegal to leave “motor
vehicle unattended with keys in ignition, motor running, brakes not secured or
doors unlocked.
Risk of Electric Shock
- Never touch the clamps and the terminals with wet hands.
- Do not pull the clamps from the terminals by pulling on the clamp cables.
- Check the clamp leads for damage before every use.
- Be certain of the test battery polarity before connecting the battery tester
clamps. The RED (+) positive battery clamp goes to the positive terminal of the
battery. The BLACK (-) negative battery clamp goes to the negative terminal of the
battery. Reversing the battery tester battery clamps on the battery may damage
the battery tester.
- Do not drop the battery tester as it may affect proper operation.

Connecting and disconnecting from a vehicle battery
Before testing make sure the battery terminals are really clean as grease and dust
could lead to errors in the test results. The battery MUST be disconnected prior
to cleaning. Check the battery and connections for any cracks or damage before
proceeding with cleaning and testing. To help ensure a good connection of the
battery terminal clamps, clean the battery terminals with a solution of baking soda
and water, and wipe the battery terminals with a cloth to remove any dirt and
grease.
If the battery is still fitted to a motor vehicle, make sure that all the electronics are
turned OFF, and that the ignition is turned OFF
1. To connect first attach the red positive terminal clamp (2) to the positive (+) pole
on your vehicle 12V battery (fig. 1).
2. Connect the black negative terminal clamp (3) to the negative (–) pole on your
vehicle 12V battery (fig. 2). Ensure both clamps are secure.
WARNING! Ensure the power cord is uncoiled and fully
extended to avoid overheating the power cord. Ensure that is
does not get tangled or caught in any rotating parts within the
engine compartment of the vehicle.
WARNING! Check cord and clamp for damage before every use. Do
not use if cord or clamp if insulation is missing or damaged and wire is
exposed.

Battery analysis
Check the battery terminal clamps are correctly connected to your battery. Twist
the terminal clamps slightly to ensure a good connection. It is recommended that
an assistant be present to assist with all tests.
Battery test
Before testing battery, if it is in a vehicle, turn off all vehicle accessory loads such
as lights, air conditioning, radio etc. Ensure battery is fully charged before testing.
Only test a single battery at a time with the Battery Test Function. If the battery
requires repeat testing using the battery test function, after 1 minute of testing,
allow the battery tester to rest for 10 minutes before proceeding.
Note: If the vehicle has been running before testing, the battery holds a surface
charge. Turn on headlights for 30 seconds to remove surface charge. Let battery
rest for one minute before starting to test.
1. Connect the battery tester to the battery, following the instructions specified in
the "Connecting and disconnecting from a vehicle battery" section.
2. The LCD screen (1) will display the tester model, version and battery voltage,
press the enter button (7) to the next step.

selection.
8. Press the up and down buttons to input the battery cold cranking amps (CCA).
The battery Test Function is programmed with some additional settings which will
only be available if the results are close to set limit values:
– Battery Temperature: This selection step
will appear if the battery result is around the
health limit value. Please select if the current
ambient temperature is above of below 0°C
(fig. 16).
If the temperature is confirmed to be below
0°C, the battery must be tested again at an
ambient temperature above 0°C (allow the
battery to match the ambient temperature
before testing).
– Charge State: This selection step will
appear, if the voltage is detected to be at the
lower limit. Please select if the battery has
been charged before proceeding (fig. 17).
It is recommended the battery be charged
and retested after result has been acquired.
