Chapter 1: Before You Begin

!Safety

Because of the possibility of personal injury, always use extreme caution when working with

batteries. Follow all manufacturers’ instructions and BCI (Battery Council International) safety

recommendations.

General Precautions

• DANGER—RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES: Batteries can produce a highly explosive mix

of hydrogen gas and oxygen, even when the battery is not in operation. Always work in a

well-ventilated area. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery.

• WARNING—REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA PROP. 65: Battery posts, terminals, and

related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of

California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands

after handling.

• Battery acid is highly corrosive. If acid enters your eyes, immediately flush them thoroughly

with running cold water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If battery acid

gets on your skin or clothing, wash immediately with water and baking soda.

• Always wear proper safety glasses or face shield when working with or around

batteries.

• Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as the analyzer cords and cables away from

moving engine parts.

• Remove any jewelry or watches before you start servicing the battery.

• Use caution when working with metallic tools to prevent sparks or short circuits.

• Never lean over a battery when testing, charging or jump starting it.

Registering Your Analyzer

Before using your EXP, we recommend that you register it online

to activate your warranty. Registration will also make it faster and

easier for you to obtain technical support and service, and order

parts and accessories. In addition, you’ll be alerted to any important

information, like product updates and special offers.

To register, log on at www.midtronics.com/warranty.html and have

your serial number ready. The number is at the bottom of the label

on the back of the analyzer (Figure 1).

If your analyzer needs repair, call Midtronics Customer Service.

Servicing the analyzer yourself may void your warranty. Refer to the

Limited Warranty section of this manual.
