WARNING:
1. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous.
Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery
operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance, if you
have any doubt, that each time before using your tester,
please read these instructions very carefully.
2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instruc
-tions and those published by the battery manufacturer and
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the
vicinity of the battery. Observe cautionary markings on
these items.
3. Limit exposure of tester to rain or snow. Dry after
exposure to moisture.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close
enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead
acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case ba
-ttery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
3. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediate
-ly with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately
flood eye with running cold water for at least ten minutes
and get medical attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of
battery or engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool
onto the battery. It could spark or short-circuit the battery or
other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches when working with a lead acid
battery. It can produce a short circuit current high enough
800-580-75542
to weld a ring or the like to metal causing a severe burn.
PREPARING TO TEST：
1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while
battery is being tested.
2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion
from coming in contact with eyes.
3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover.
If battery is damaged, do not use tester.
4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled
water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified
by the manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from
cells. Do not overfill.
5. When testing batteries in parallel; you must always
remove the paralleling cables.
OPERATION & USE ：
BATTERY TEST - 490PT+
1. Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition,
all accessories and loads.
2. Verify that 4 charged AA batteries are installed prior to
use. Oxyride batteries are not recommended because of
the initial 1.7 Volt output. If the 1.5V battery runs out of
power, screen will show "REPLACE INTERNAL BATTERY"
or" POWER LOW". Replace the four AA batteries
before starting the test. Note that nothing will be seen on
the display until the tester is connected to a vehicle battery.
