Checking Deployment Tool

Connecting to Battery
Place vehicle outdoors with at least 6 m (20 ft) of open space on all sides.

Use a voltmeter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged.

CAUTION: The battery must show voltage of 9.6V or more.

Remove the battery from the vehicle and place it on dry wood blocks approximately 5 m (16 ft) away from the vehicle.

Wait 3 minutes after the vehicle battery is disconnected before proceeding.

Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal and black clip to negative terminal.

CAUTION: Make sure the polarity is correct. The right side lamp in the tool, marked "deployment tool power", should glow with a green light. If the right side lamp glows red, reverse the connections to the battery.
