—Read All Instructions Before Using The Analyzer—

Always wear eye protection when testing vehicles. Be extra careful

near batteries and moving parts. Do not lay tools on a battery.
Battery gas is highly explosive.
If a battery explodes fl ush the acid away from skin with generous

amounts of water. Follow up with a neutralizing solution of baking

soda and then more water.
Never use a wrench on the ungrounded battery terminal until

the grounded one has been disconnected. Contact between the

vehicle body metal and the hot terminal can cause sparks to ignite

gas or even weld tools into a battery short circuit.
Keep the space around a battery well ventilated.
Do not make sparks or allow fl ames near batteries.
Before working on a vehicle set the brakes and block the wheels.

Beware of automatic parking brake releases.
Keep your work area well ventilated and free of exhaust.
Avoid electrical shocks caused by getting close to live ignition wires

or touching the coil TACH terminal. A personʼs reaction near a

live engine can be more damaging than the shock.
Keep spark producing devices at least 0.5m (18”) above the fl oor

to reduce the hazard of igniting gasoline vapor.
Do not let test leads wind up in a moving fan or pulley. Route

leads away.
Remove fi nger rings and metal wrist bands. They can short

terminals and become very hot from electric current.
