SAFETY MEASURES:
- Disconnect the ignition system.
- Allow the engine to cool.
- Do not use naked flames or components that produce sparks.
- Do not smoke.
- Clean up any spilt fuel.
- Operate exhaust fans in closed rooms..
NOISE LEVEL
The noise level can exceed 90dB when vehicles are tested, particularly at high engine
rates.
If a person is subjected to these noise sources for a lengthy period of time, his or her
hearing could be damaged.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- If necessary, the user is obliged to protect the work stations near to the places where
the tests are carried out, from noise.
- The operator must use personal protective equipment if necessary.
DANGEROUS VOLTAGE
There are dangerous voltages in both residential and industrial electricity mains and in
the electrical systems of vehicles.
When a person comes into contact with test instruments or engine parts to which
voltage is applied, there is a danger of electric shock due, for example, to damaged
connections (e.g. an animal could have bitten through the ignition wires).
This danger exists both in relation to the primary and secondary side of the ignition
system and to the test instrument connections.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Connect test instruments to a socket that has a protection contact and that is
correctly earthed.
- Only use the supplied cables to connect the test instrument and make sure that the
insulation is not damaged.
- Make sure that the test instrument has been earthed before you turn it on.
- Always disconnect the power source (e.g. battery) before you work on the electrical
system (to connect test instruments, replace parts of the ignition system).
