INSTRUCTION TO CHECK THE BATTERY STATUS
1. To ensure a precise test : the vehicle must be switched off for a minimum of 10 minutes OR switch on the headlights
after 3 minutes and then switch them off.

For some high capacity batteries, the yellow output LED of the alternator can switch
on. This means that the battery is fully charged.
INSTRUCTION TO CHECK THE GENERATOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE
1. First, connect the black clamp to the battery’s negative terminal. Then, connect the red clamp to the battery’s po-

Always start by connecting the black clamp first. Ensure that the cables and the tester
are safely away from hot parts and moving parts.
2. Start the vehicle and increase the motor until it reaches 2000 revs/minute after a few seconds.
