NOTE
Be sure batteries are at full charge. Don’t do more than two compression
unbalance tests in a row as loader batteries may discharge .
Check that fuel SHUT OFF control is pulled completely out.
Crank engine for five seconds to clear fuel from cylinders.
Set VTM TEST SELECT switches to 14.
NOTE
While cranking engine with bad or discharged batteries, VTM may lose
power and come on again after cranking has stopped, displaying -----. If
this happens, clean battery posts and clamps and try again. If VTM still
loses power, connect VTM to another vehicle’s battery. Connect P1 of
