SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
—Read All Instructions Before Using The Meter—
• 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.
a. If a battery explodes flush the acid away from persons skin with
generous amounts of water. Follow up with a neutralizing solution of
baking soda and then more water.
Treat clothing, vehicle parts, and equipment similarly . Any acid traces
inside equipment must be removed by generous rinsing. Dry
equipment and place in a warm 50
°
C (120
°
F) oven until thoroughly
dry.
b. 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.
c. Keep the space around a battery well ventilated.
d. Do not make sparks or allow flames 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. Engine exhaust
contains deadly poisons. Treat Gas Detector exhaust and drain hoses
the same as the vehicle tailpipe. Both give off deadly exhaust fumes.
• Avoid electrical shocks caused by getting close to live ignition wires or
touching the coil T ACH terminal. A person’s reaction near a live engine
can be more damaging than the shock.
• Keep spark producing devices at least 0.5m (18”) above the floor 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 finger rings and metal wrist bands. They can short terminals and
become very hot from electric current.
