GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
 Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
 Operate the vehicle to be tested in a well ventilated area. Exhaust gases are
poisonous. If necessary connect the vehicle exhaust to a fume extraction system.
 Place chocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended
whilst testing is in progress.
 Be extra cautious when working in close proximity to the ignition coil, distributor
cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages
when the engine is running.
 Ensure that the handbrake is on and the gearbox is in neutral or 'Park' for
automatic transmissions.
 Keep fire extinguishers nearby that are suitable for petrol/chemical/electrical fires.
 Keep the analyser clean and in good condition.
 Remain vigilant when using the code reader on, or near, machinery where there are
rotational parts such as belts, pulleys and fans.
 Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose jewellery,
and contain and/or tie back long hair.
 Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear
non-slip shoes.
 Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
 The user shall ensure that test probes are correctly selected in order to prevent
danger. Probes shall be selected to ensure that adequate barriers guard against
inadvertent hand contact with live conductors under test and that probes have
minimal exposed probe tips. Where there is a risk of the probe tip short circuiting
with other live conductors under test, it is recommended that the exposed tip length
shall not exceed 4mm.
DO NOT attempt to connect or disconnect any test equipment whilst the ignition

is on or the engine is running.
DO NOT use the analyser if damage is suspected. If suspected damage occurs

with the device, have it inspected by qualified service personnel before using it
again.
DO NOT get the analyser wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where

there is condensation.
DO NOT use the analyser for any purpose other than for which it is designed.

DO NOT allow untrained persons to use analyser.

DO NOT use the analyser when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol,

drugs or intoxicating medication.
DO NOT operate in a potentially explosive environment/atmosphere.
