Connecting To The Battery
Connect the charging clamps to the battery in accordance
with all precautions and safety instructions. Do not connect
either clamp to the vehicle’s chassis.
Connect the Red clamp to the positive (+) terminal and the
Black clamp to the negative (–) terminal. An alert is displayed
if the clamps are reversed on the battery terminals.
Make sure both sides of the clamps are rmly gripping the
terminals. A poor connection will prevent testing, and the
analyzer will display the message CHECK CONNECTION. If the
message reappears after you have correctly reconnected the
clamps, clean the terminals and reconnect.
Charging Out-of-Vehicle (Battery Test)
The preferred battery charging location is in the vehicle. However, if
you plan to charge out of the vehicle:
• Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery
rst and reconnect it last.
• Always use a carry tool or strap to lift and transport the
battery.
