Risk of fire.
• Wear safety goggles and protective clothing,
user and bystander.
• Do not position head directly over or in front of
the carburetor or throttle body. Do not pour
gasoline down the carburetor or throttle body
when cranking or running the engine, when
working with fuel delivery systems or any open
fuel line. Engine backfire can occur when the air
cleaner is out of normal position.
• Do not use carburetor sprays or fuel injector
cleaning solvents when performing diagnostic
testing.
• Keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher
rated for gasoline, chemical and electrical fires
in the work area.
Fire can cause death or serious injury.
A test vehicle may move if not properly prepared.
• Block the drive wheels before performing a test with
the engine running. Unless instructed otherwise, set
the parking brake and put the gear selector in
neutral (standard transmission) or park (automatic
transmission). If the vehicle has an automatic
parking brake release, disconnect the release
mechanism for testing and reconnect when testing
is completed.
• Do not leave a running engine unattended.
A moving vehicle can cause injury.
Gases produced by batteries are highly explosive.
• Avoid sparks when connecting or disconnecting
power leads to battery.
• Always connect red positive (+) power lead to
positive (+) battery terminal and the black negative
(-) power lead to a good vehicle ground as far away
from the battery as possible.
• Avoid making accidental connection between
battery terminals through tools, jumper leads, etc.
• Keep lighted cigarettes, sparks, flames and other
ignition sources away from batteries.
• Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher near work area.
