Caution: Batteries produce explosive gases. Batteries contain corrosive acid.
Batteries supply levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns.
Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of personal injury while working
near a battery, observe the following guidelines:
Turn OFF completely the load tool before connecting or disconnecting a carbon pile load tester to the battery. Otherwise, sparking at the terminals could cause battery gasses to explode and cause personal injury.
Important: Ensure that all generator output circuit wires pass through the inductive probe. Does the red DIAGNOSTIC lamp on the tester illuminate? | -- | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 13 | ||||||||||||
