SECTION 7

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Before performing any service work on the electrical system, read
and understand the Service Safety section at the beginning of this
manual.
Use the manufacturer and special tools as indicated during
servicing of the electrical system.
Avoid electrical shock:
• Do not handle spark gap tester leads during performance
testing.
• Do not touch ignition coils, exciter coil, pulser coils, or alternator
coils while the engine is cranking or running.
Use the spark gap tester to prevent the engine from starting when
performing static ignition performance tests.
Use caution when performing tests with the engine cover removed.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, hands, and
clothing away from the flywheel and other moving parts.
After repairs are complete, make sure all ignition and electrical
leads are properly routed and clamped in their original positions.
Replace locking fasteners when their locking feature becomes
weak. Use only factory replacement parts.
Always inspect and test the start-in-gear prevention system before
returning engine to customer.
