SAFETY PRECAUTIONS


WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH

Always use extreme caution and forethought when servicing automotive systems!

Automotive systems are extremely hot and contain high pressure.

Always read and understand the entire Operations Manual before operating!

Always wear proper eye and skin protection when operating equipment!

Always keep fire extinguisher nearby for flammable conditions!

Always keep hair, loose clothing, hoses, etc. securely away from moving parts!

Always keep work area well ventilated to prevent carbon monoxide build up!

Always comply with local, state, and federal regulations concerning fluid!

Always clean up and report spill in a proper manner!

Always read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for particular

fluids!

Always seek emergency medical attention for ingestion of, or eye contact with fluid!

BATTERY SAFETY

Lead-acid batteries commonly used in vehicles, and in the

ATF1unit , can be highly dangerous

if the proper precautions are not taken while working in the vicinity of the battery.

Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation that may ignite in the
presence of sparks, flames, or smoking!

Always have the Main Power switch of the unit in the off position when making connections to
avoid sparks. Connecting the negative (black) power clip to a suitable system ground away
from the battery and never to the negative post of the battery provides additional protection
from explosive hazard.

WARNING

DO NOT store / stage ATF 1 outside during inclement weather such as rain
and/or snow without being covered by a protective device. Water induced
into pumps will void warranty and greatly shorten life cycle of equipment
and could contaminate fluids.



Before Starting

1.

Adjust the transmission fluid level according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Be

aware that some vehicles require the fluid level to be checked in “PARK” and some in
“NEUTRAL.” The COOLER LINE mode of service will also be done in the same
manner as checking transmission fluid levels.

WARNING

DO NOT Store / Stage ATF 1 outside during inclement weather such as rain or snow
without being covered by a protective device. Water induced into pumps will void
warranty, greatly shorten life cycle of equipment and could contaminate fluids.
