For your safety

‰ If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water. If acid en-
ters eye, immediately rinse eye thoroughly
with running cold water for at least ten min-
utes and get medical treatment immediately.
‰ Never smoke in vicinity of battery or engine
or allow a spark or flame to occur.
‰ Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping
a metal tool onto the battery. It can spark
or short-circuit the battery or other electrical
parts and can cause an explosion.
‰ 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 to weld a ring or the
like to metal causing severe burns.
‰ Only use genuine Würth accessories.
— Be sure area around battery is well ventilated
while battery is being tested.
— Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corro-
sion from coming in contact with eyes.
— Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or
cover. If battery is damaged, do not use tester.
— 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.
— If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to
test, always remove ground terminal from battery
first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are
off to ensure you do not cause any arcing.
