UNPACKING AND UNLOCKING THE UNIT
1.
To remove the unit from the carton, grasp the side handles in the packing and pull both the packing and
the unit out of the carton. Remove the internal packing from the unit and return it to the carton. Set the
carton and internal packing aside for future use.
2.
Hold onto the knob to keep the shaft from spinning after it is unlocked. Loosen the set screw in the
locking collar with the 3/32 hex wrench provided. DO NOT remove the set screw from the locking collar.
Allow the shaft to back out slowly until it stops. (Locking down the carbon stack helps to prevent the
carbon disk and ceramic tubes from breaking during shipping, or anytime the unit needs to be
transported.)
NOTE:
When shipping or transporting the unit, be sure to lock the shaft down by turning the knob all the
way down and tightening the locking collar set screw with the 3/32 hex wrench provided.
ATTACHING THE 7136R TO OPTIONAL 6038 UTILITY CART
If you have also purchased the optional two wheel utility cart model 6038 the two pieces are assembled as
follows.
1.
Set the 7136R on top of the cart with the front of the unit facing away from the handle. Align the two
holes in the mounting plate with the threaded inserts in the bottom of the tester.
2.
Insert the spade bolt through the hole in the mounting plate and thread the spade bolt into the insert as
shown.
PREPARING TO TEST
a)
When necessary to remove battery from vehicle for testing, always remove ground terminal first. Make
sure all accessories in the vehicle are turned off, so as not to cause an arc.
b)
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
c)
Determine the cold cranking amps (CCA) rating of battery by referring to car owner's manual or label on
battery.
TESTER LOCATION
a)
Locate tester as far away from battery as DC cables permit.
b)
Never allow battery acid to drip on tester or other items when handling a hydrometer, reading specific gravity or filling a battery.
c)
Do not set a battery on top of the tester.
d)
Position cables to reduce risk of danger by hood, door or moving engine parts.
e)
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause personal injuries.
f)
Do not block air passaging through the tester.
CONNECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
a)
Connect and disconnect DC output clamps only after setting fan switch to "Automatic" position, and the LOAD CONTROL knob is counter-
clockwise (CCW.) as far as possible. (Don't force knob).
b)
When attaching clamps to battery posts, twist or rock clamp back and forth several times to make a good connection. This tends to prevent the
clamps from slipping off of the terminals and helps reduce risk of sparking.
NOTE:
Either when receiving the unit new or when the unit has been sitting around awhile. The carbon stacks in the unit will collect moisture from the
air and will need to be evaporated out. To do this, the unit will need to be pre-loaded, by turning the knob to a 100 amps and holding the knob
for 5 to 10 seconds and releasing the knob (Do this on a good battery that you are not testing). This releases any water that might be in the
carbon stacks and prevents the carbons from cracking during normal operation. Note: If a lot of water or steam come out of the unit, do this a
few more times to get most of the moisture out.
