Testing the Starter
Note: The engine should be at normal operating temperature and the battery should be fully charged before doing this test.
1.Connect the Cable Clamps (A, B) to the battery as previously described.
2.Disable the ignition so the engine will not start. (Refer to your vehicle’s manual.)
3.Have an assistant crank the engine. Note the voltage reading during cranking.
4.View the Meter Display (D) and read the voltage. A reading of 9 Volts or less indicates excessive current draw. This may be due to a poor connection, a failing starter, or a battery of insufficient size for the motor.
CAUTION! DO NOT press the Toggle Switch (C) during this test.
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1.Periodically recheck all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness.
2.Store in a clean and dry location.
3.Clean the outside of the unit with a damp cloth. Never use solvents to clean any part of this tool. Use compressed air to blow out debris from the load vents.
4.After each use, clean the Cable Clamps of any possible battery electrolyte. Apply a thin coat of silicon grease to prevent corrosion.
