Preparations Before the Test

Before connecting the tester, clean the battery posts or side terminals with

a wire brush and a mixture of baking soda and water. When testing side-

post batteries, install and tighten lead terminal adapters. A set of adapters is

included with the tester.

IMPORTANT: Do not test at steel bolts. Failure to install terminal adapters or

installing terminal adapters that are worn or dirty may result in inac-

curate test results. To avoid damage, never use a wrench to tighten the

adapters more than ¼ turn.

If you are testing in the vehicle, make sure all accessory loads are o, the key is

not in the ignition, and the doors are closed.
