Preparations Before the Test

Before connecting the tester, clean the battery posts with a wire brush and a

mixture of baking soda and water. When testing side-post batteries, install and

tighten lead terminal adapters.

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 1/4 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.
