LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF IPA®

My name is Ian Vinci and I would like to thank you for your interest in our products. In

today’s world, we have all experienced the lack of service and consideration demonstrated

by many companies after you buy their products. They say whatever they can to make

the sale, and then it’s like pulling teeth to get any service response out of them. I know

this myself rsthand and because of this, I want to be sure that your experience with IPA®

meets your expectations and that IPA®never disappoints you with our service or customer

response.

To prove my commitment to you, if for any reason, you are not happy with one of our

products, or more importantly, with the response from our customer service department,

or any member of the IPA®team, I invite you to contact me directly via my email,

[email protected] or call me at 888-786-7899. Your satisfaction is more important to

me than the sale itself. We will not be in business for long if we don’t make you completely

happy with our products and service. I want IPA®to be different and be known for its quality

and service.

With that said, please take a look at our product line. You will see innovative rst time

products that were created to help you do your job faster and better than before.

I would also like to invite you to critique our products. If you can think of a better way

to make them or changes that will make them work better, please contact me directly

and I will be sure to look into it. If you have an innovation and would like some

feedback, give me a call.

From all of us at IPA®, we thank you for taking the time to review our product line and wish

you and your family the very best of everything.

Ian Vinci

PART 1: INTRODUCTION

The Super Ranger MUTT® with ABS is an advanced diagnostic, remote controlled

trailer tester. It includes an internal lithium battery, is microprocessor controlled, and

features state-of-the-art current sensing, computer controlled circuit protection, live

circuit monitoring, as well as digital voltage and amperage draw readout.

The Super Ranger MUTT®will detect poor grounds, open circuits, crossed circuits,

short circuits, and also features Pulsar®which aides in troubleshooting intermittent

and dead shorts. Models equipped with ABS diagnostics can be utilized to read

and clear codes and display troubleshooting information on a trailer via the 7-way

connector. Readings are displayed on the face panel.

This manual covers the Super Ranger MUTT® Series technology. Please consult your

specic model for your exact list of included options. This product is backed by a 1-

year warranty with 24-hour repair or replace service. Should you run into any issues,

please contact IPA®directly at 888-786-7899 or email [email protected].

PART 2: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Important Information

Itisimportanttoread,understandandfollowallsafetymessagesandinstructions

printedinthismanualandontheequipmentbeforeoperating.Ifsafetyinformation

is not heeded, serious injury or death of the operator or bystanders may occur.

Danger

Indicates a hazardous situation, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. The

possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in the text.

Warning

Indicates a hazardous situation, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in the text.

Caution

Indicates a hazardous situation, if not avoided, may result in minor or major injury. The

possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in the text.

The following safety alert symbols are used in this manual.

Symbol 1: Potential burn hazard. Sparks from electrical shorts can ignite ammable

liquids such as fuel or oil. Heat from electrical overloads can cause re hazards.

Symbol 2: Potential electrical hazard. Batteries have enough electrical energy

potential to ignite ammable liquids such as fuel or oil. Wire overloads can cause

electrical failures. Shock hazard exists.

Symbol 3: Potential explosive air hazard. Pneumatic pressures used with this

equipment can cause explosive failures on damaged equipment.

Symbol 4: Potential eye hazard. Wear OSHA approved safety glasses. Battery acid

and high air pressures create hazardous situations for eyes.

Symbol 5: Potential chemical burn hazard. Wear protective gloves. Battery acid is

corrosive and can cause skin damage.

Symbol 6: Potential electrical hazard. Electrical energy can cause heat and burn hazards.

Symbol 7: Potential re hazard. Use caution with ammable liquids such as fuel and

oil. Electrical shorts can ignite ammable liquids and wiring.

Symbol 8: Important information is stated.

2.2 Lithium Battery Safety/Hazard Information

Risk of Fire, Serious Injury and/or Property Damage

• Do not modify, disassemble or alter the

lithium battery.

• Avoid vibrating, puncturing, tampering, or

contacting with metal.

• Only use the provided lithium battery charger.

• Never leave lithium battery unattended

while charging.

• Disengage charger if lithium battery gets hot, smokes, swells or becomes odorous.

• If lithium battery leaks uid onto your skin or in your eyes, rinse well with water and

seek medical attention immediately. Do not rub uid on skin or in eyes. Battery

uid can cause real harm if left untreated.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Risk of re is exacerbated if: battery is not recharged shortly after being fully

discharged; battery is damaged; battery is defective; battery is used/stored at

extreme temperatures; battery is reaching end of life cycle.

• Recharge lithium battery within 24 hours of full discharge.

• Do not charge lithium battery at temperatures below 40ºF (4°C).

• Do not expose lithium battery to saltwater or similar uids.

• Do not drop lithium battery. If battery is dropped, inspect for damage. If damage

is found, do not use.

• Discharge lithium battery at temperatures between 4ºF and 140ºF (-20°C and 60°C).

• Store lithium battery at temperates between 40ºF and 80ºF (4°C and 27°C).

• A frequently used lithium battery may be stored at 100% charge. If used infrequently,

store lithium battery at 40% to 70% charge.

2.3 General Charger Use

Risk of Electric Shock and Fire

• Before connecting charger to unit, make sure Power

switch is set to OFF.

• Do not remove or bypass the grounding pin.

• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug.

Replace cord or plug immediately if damage occurs.

• Position power cord and charger cables away from

the hood, doors and hot or moving engine parts

where they could be damaged.

• Unplug power cord by grasping and pulling on the plug, rather than the cord when

disconnecting charger from outlet.

• Charger power cord uses equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. Plug only into a 120V AC outlet that is correctly installed and grounded in

accordance with all ordinances and local codes.

• Unplug power cord from outlet before cleaning or maintaining tester and charger.

Turning off controls does not reduce the risk of electric shock.

• Do not operate charger after a sharp impact, drop or any other damage. Do not

disassemble charger.

• Use only recommended attachments.

• Do not charge a frozen battery.

• Do not overcharge a battery.

• Electric shock or re can cause injury.

Risk of Entanglement

• Keep yourself, clothing and battery charger leads clear of moving parts such as

fan blades, pulleys, hood and doors.

• Moving parts can cause injury.

Risk of Burns

• Batteries can produce short circuit current high enough to weld jewelry such as

rings, bracelets and watches. You must remove them before working near batteries.

• Short circuits can cause injury.

DO NOT

Plug Directly Into

AC Wall Outlet
