SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
3
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the Scan Tool, read this
instruction manual first and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum
whenever working on a vehicle:
• Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
• Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
• Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc, away from all moving or
hot engine parts.
• Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area; Exhaust gases are poisonous.
•
Put blocks on drive wheels and never leave vehicle unattended while running tests.
• 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.
• Put transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual
transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
• Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical fires nearby.
•
Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment with ignition on or engine running.
• Keep the Scan Tool dry, clean and free from oil, water and grease. Use a mild
detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the Scan Tool, when necessary.
