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.
