SAFETY INFORMATION
Working in the vicinity of lead-acid battery is DANGEROUS due to EXPLOSIVE
GASES generated by the battery which can be ignited by a spark, cigarette or
flame and blow the battery apart, forcefully showering the area with battery
pieces and acid.
To reduce the chance of exploding batteries follow instructions by manufacturers
of batteries as well as these instructions.
IN CASE OF ACCIDENT RINSE EYES WITH CLEAN WATER AT LEAST 5
MINUTES AND SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. NEVER USE EYE DROPS
OR OTHER MEDICATION UNLESS DIRECTED BY A DOCTOR.
When around lead-acid batteries wear eye protection and avoid touching or
rubbing the battery as well as clothing, skin and eyes. NEVER smoke, have an
open flame or sparks near battery. Have plenty of ventilation and keep your face
as far as possible from the battery. Undercharged lead-acid batteries will freeze
during cold weather. Never test or charge a frozen battery. Do not allow tools to
drop onto a battery. Do not lay tester on battery.
BATTERY LOAD TEST
This test evaluates the battery's ability to crank an engine. The tester draws
current from the battery while measuring its voltage level. The voltage level of a
good battery will remain relatively steady under load, but a defective battery will
show a rapid loss in voltage. Battery size (CCA rating) and temperature will
affect test results - follow instructions carefully.
1. Turn off engine, accessories and battery test equipment.
2. Connect negative (black) clamp to the negative (NEG, N,-) battery post.
Connect positive (red) clamp to positive (POS, P, +) battery post. "Rock"
clamps back and forth to insure a good electrical connection. For batteries
with side terminals, use the adapters in clamps.
3. With clamps connected, tester's meter will indicate battery's STATE OF
CHARGE. If state of charge is less then 12.4 (6.2) volts ("V" symbol on
meter), the battery should be recharged before load testing. If recharging
does not bring voltage to 12.4 (6.2), battery is defective. If meter needle is
off scale to the left, check for loose or reversed clamps; otherwise battery is
defective.
