PREPARING THE OIL TEST SET
1. Expose the display and oil vessel loading areas by pulling the protective covers away. Connect the
mains powered charger to the rear socket and power it up unless the equipment is to be used
powered from its internal battery. Alternatively connect the 12 volt vehicle lead set to the rear socket
and a 12 V, negative to chassis, vehicle cigar/cigarette lighter socket only when the internal battery
is exhausted and no mains supply is available for the mains charger. Allow 15 minutes to bring the
internal battery up to a usable condition before starting tests.
2. Switch on using the rear switch, then if necessary, press the ON/OFF front panel switch to start. The
rear switch need only be turned off when long periods of storage of over six months are expected.
