silverlinetools.com Before Use WARNING: Ensure engine is stopped, and all loads disconnected. Note: On some vehicles it may be desirable to remove the battery from the vehicle. • The needle of the Dial (3) should point to '0' when the tester is not in use. Adjust the position of the needle by rotating the Zero Adjustment Screw (4) to ensure an accurate reading.• Ensure battery terminals are clean and free from corrosion. Operation Testing a battery 1. Connect the Positive Lead (2) to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.2. Connect the Earth Lead (1) to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.3. Check the readout. If a 12V battery reads below 12V, or if a 6V battery reads below 6V, it will need to be recharged before further testing.

WARNING: Do not hold the Load Switch (5) in the 'ON' position for more than 10 seconds.

During the load test, the tester may get hot. 4. Move the load switch to the 'ON' position (to the right), and allow the Dial (3) needle to stabilise. See table below:

WARNING: Allow at least 1 full minute for the tester to cool before performing another test.

Note: 6V and 12V batteries have separate scales on the dial. Check that you are referring to the correct scale for your battery. The green section of the 12V battery section is stepped to indicate a good condition for different battery capacities, refer to the battery’s CCA rating to determine the correct range.
