Safety Instructions
The safety messages provided here address situations that XTOOL is aware of. XTOOL
cannot anticipate, evaluate, or provide advice on all potential hazards. You must be
certain that any condition or service procedure encountered does not jeopardize
your personal safety.
Danger
When the engine is running, ensure the service area is well ventilated or connect a
building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust. Engines emit carbon
monoxide, a colorless and poisonous gas that can impair reaction times and lead to
serious injury or even death.
Safety Warnings
Safe Environment: Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
Eye Protection: Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
Avoid Hazards: Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, and test equipment away from all
moving or hot engine parts.
Ventilation: Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area to avoid inhaling
poisonous exhaust gases.
Transmission and Brakes: Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic) or NEUTRAL
(for manual) and ensure the parking brake is engaged.
Wheel Blocks: Place blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle
unattended while testing.
Ignition System Caution: Be extra cautious around the ignition coil, distributor cap,
ignition wires, and spark plugs, as these components generate hazardous voltages
when the engine is running.
Fire Extinguisher: Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline, chemical, and
electrical fires nearby.
Test Equipment Connections: Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment
while the ignition is on or the engine is running.
Clean Equipment: Keep the test equipment dry, clean, and free from oil, water, or
grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the equipment
as necessary.
