SAFETY GUIDELINES
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
AND/OR DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE OR TEST EQUIPMENT,
CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE SAFETY RULES AND TEST PROCEDURES
• Always wear approved eye protection.
• Always operate the vehicle in a well ventilated area. Do not inhale exhaust gases
– they are very poisonous!
• Always keep yourself, tools and test equipment away from all moving or hot
engine parts.
• Always make sure the vehicle is in park (Automatic transmission) or neutral
(manual transmission) and that the parking brake is firmly set. Block the drive
wheels.
• Never lay tools on vehicle battery. You may short the terminals together causing
harm to yourself, the tools or the battery.
• Never smoke or have open flames near vehicle. Vapors from gasoline and
charging battery are highly flammable and explosive.
• Never leave vehicle unattended while running tests.
• Always keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/electrical/chemical fires
handy.
• Always use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor
cap, ignition wires, and spark plugs. These components contain High Voltage
when the engine is running.
• Always turn ignition key OFF when connecting or disconnecting electrical
components, unless otherwise instructed.
• Always follow vehicle manufacturer’s warnings, cautions and service procedures.
CAUTION:
Some vehicles are equipped with safety air bags. You must follow vehicle service
manual cautions when working around the air bag components or wiring. If the
cautions are not followed, the air bag may open up unexpectedly, resulting in personal
injury. Note that the air bag can still open up several minutes after the ignition key is
off (or even if the vehicle battery is disconnected) because of a special energy reserve
module.
