2. BATTERY CONNECTION
Connecting to 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. With the vehicle engine not
running, connect the red positive
terminal clamp to the positive
( + ) pole on your vehicle 12V
battery.
2. Connect the black negative
terminal clamp to the negative
( – ) pole on your vehicle 12V
battery.
Disconnecting from a Vehicle Battery
1. Remove the black negative
terminal clamp from the negative
( – ) pole of your vehicle battery.
2. Remove the red positive terminal
clamp from the positive ( + ) pole
of the vehicle battery.
WARNING! ONLY FOR 12 VOLT LEAD ACID BATTERY.
WARNING! ENSURE THE POWER CORD IS UNCOILED
AND FULLY EXTENDED TO AVOID OVERHEATING
THE POWER CORD. ENSURE THAT IT DOES NOT GET
TANGLED OR CAUGHT IN ANY ROTATING PARTS
WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE.

DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS
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.
- This appliance is only intended for lead acid batteries
- 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

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.
- Do not smoke or have open flames near the battery.
- The warnings and precautions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
- Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and
spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running.
