Safety Precautions - Honda SPX MVCI User Manual

Safety Precautions

DANGER:
When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTILAT-
ED or attach a building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust
system. Engines produce carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous
gas that causes slower reaction time and can lead to serious personal
injury or loss of life.
WARNINGS:
• Wear an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved
eye shield when testing or repairing vehicles.
• Set the parking brake and block the wheels before testing or
repairing a vehicle. It is especially important to block the wheels on
front-wheel drive vehicles because the parking brake does not hold
the drive wheels.
• Do not drive the vehicle and operate the tool at the same time. Any
distractions may cause an accident. Have one person operate the
tool as another person drives the vehicle.
• Maintain adequate clearance around moving components or belts
during testing. Moving components and belts can catch loose cloth-
ing, body parts, or test equipment and cause serious damage or
personal injury.
• Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being serviced. Adhere
to all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or otherwise unneeded repairs.
• The MVCI vehicle I/O connector is to be connected to the vehicle
Diagnostic Link only. Signals on these lines are limited to 32V DC,
and are never to be connected to AC mains power.
• Replace with rechargeable 2000mAh minimum AA Nickel-metal
Hydride (NiMH) batteries only.
IMPORTANT:
• To avoid damaging the tool or generating false data, make sure the
vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the vehicle DLC
is clean and secure.
• Do not place the tool or communication cable on the distributor of a
vehicle. Strong electromagnetic interference can damage the tool.
• Never disconnect or reconnect any electrical connector while the
ignition is on. Control unit damage may result.
