SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous
because it generates explosive gases during normal operation.
To reduce the risk of battery explosion and personal harm,
always follow these safety instructions and precautions:
1. Read all operating and safety instructions carefully before
using the Quick Battery Test unit.
2. Wear eye protection and use caution when working around
batteries.
3. Don't smoke, strike a match or cause a spark in the vicinity
of the battery.
4. Keep hair, hands and clothing as well as analyzer cords and
cables away from moving engine parts.
5. Inspect the battery for damages.
6. Check the electrolyte level. If it's too low, replenish the
electrolyte and charge the battery fully.
Follow instructions published by battery manufacturer and
manufacturers of any equipment you intend to use in the
vicinity of a battery. Also review cautionary markings on
products and engine.
