1. Safety Precautions and Warnings
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the
brake tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the
following safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on
a vehicle:
l Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
l Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
l Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from
all moving or hot engine parts.
l Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases
are poisonous.
l Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle
unattended while running tests.
l Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil,
distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components
create hazardous voltages when the engine is running.
l Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/ electrical
fires nearby.
l Donāt connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition
is on or the engine is running.
l Keep the brake tool dry, clean, and free from oil/water or grease.
Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the
brake tool, when necessary.
