IMPORTANT TIP:
When powering-up components, you can increase the life of your
HC-CARGO 211097 switch, if you first press the switch, then contact the tip
to the component. The arcing will take place at the tip instead of the
contacts of the switch.
INTRODUCTION
The HC-CARGO 211097 is the most revolutionary circuit
tester
to date. The HC-CARGO 211097 literally speeds
you through the diagnosing of 12 to 24 volt automotive
electrical systems. After connecting the HC-CARGO
211097's clips to the vehicle's battery the automotive
technician can determine at a glance, the voltage level
and the polarity of a circuit without running for a voltme-
ter or reconnecting hook-up clips from one battery pole
to the other. The power switch allows the automotive
technician to conduct a positive or negative battery
current to the tip for activating and testing the function of
electrical components without wasting time with jumper
leads. And the HC-CARGO 211097 is short circuit pro-
tected. It tests for bad ground contacts instantly without
performing voltage drop tests. It allows you to follow and
locate short circuits without wasting precious fuses. The
HC-CARGO 211097 can also test for continuity with the
assistance of its auxiliary ground lead. With a flip of the
power switch, you will know at a glance that your HC-
CARGO 211097 is functionning without running to the
battery as you would otherwise have to do with simple
test lights. The HC-CARGO 211097's long cable allows
you to test along the entire length of the vehicle without
constantly searching for ground hook-ups. An absolute
must for every automotive
technician looking for a fast and accurate solution to
electrical systems diagnostics.
Before using the tester please read the instruction book
carefully.
WARNING
When the testers switch is depressed battery current/
voltage is conducted directly to the tip which may cause
sparks when contacting ground or certain circuits.
Therefore the
tester
should NOT be used around
flammables such as gasoline or its vapors. The spark
of an energized
HC-CARGO 211083
vapors.
Use the same caution as you would when using an arc
welder.
HC-CARGO 211097
is NOT to be used with 110/220
volt home electrical, it is only for use with 12-24 volt
systems.
