When Working on Vehicles

• Always wear approved eye protection.
• Always operate 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 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 batteries 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 turn ignition key OFF when connecting or disconnecting electrical

components, unless otherwise instructed.

• Keep away from engine cooling fan. On some vehicles, the fan may start up

unexpectedly.

• Always follow vehicle manufacturer’s warnings, cautions, and service

procedures.
