1.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
▲ IMPORTANT! Observe all Warning Symbols.
 WARNING! Wear approved eye protection. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. A full range of Personal Protective
Equipment is available from your Sealey dealer.
Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit
current high enough to melt or weld a ring, which would cause severe burns.
Ensure that hands and clothing are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot engine parts. Remove ties and ensure that belts
cannot become entangled.
Ensure that there is another person within hearing distance and is able to come to your aid should a problem arise when working near
a lead-acid battery.
Have fresh water nearby in case battery acid contacts skin or clothing; flush affected area immediately. If acid enters eyes, flush
immediately with clean running water for a minimum of 15 minutes, seek medical attention.
DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards of the tester. Also refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s hand
book. IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Ensure that the tester is in good condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit and contact a qualified electrician.
Only use recommended attachments and parts. To use unapproved items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure that you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
Determine the system voltage before using the tester.
If the tester receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
Clean battery terminals before using the tester.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
 DO NOT disassemble the tester for any reason. The tester must only be checked by qualified service personnel.
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.

negative 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.
 Ensure there is effective ventilation to prevent a build-up of explosive gases.
