Discharging the capacitor
CAUTION!!
Never remove the capacitor without discharging the stored power. It can give a dangerous
electrical shock, even after disconnection.
To safely discharge and disconnect the capacitor, follow these steps:
1) Disconnect cables from the capacitor in the following order:
POSITIVE cable
GROUND cable
REMOTE cable
2) Using the resistor provided, touch one lead to the POSITIVE (+) terminal and one
lead to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal.
CAUTION!! During discharging, the resistor will become hot. This is normal, but
exercise caution during the discharging process.
After 1-5 minutes, the capacitor will be discharged ( the display will show 0.00V)
and you can safely remove and handle it.
