SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This unit should be used
only
by a qualified technician knowledgeable in the handling of this type of
equipment.
Do not run engine in a confined area or garage when performing tests. Use adequate shop ex¬
haust ventilation system to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Exposing tester or tester wires to hot or moving engine components may result in PERSONAL
INJURY and/or tester damage.
Do not run hook-up leads over the engine fan, pump, or belt areas. Route leads outside of
engine compartment.
•
Securely set the emergency brake, parking brake, and block the wheels before performing tests
or maintenance on engine.
•
Check to insure that the hood support rod is fully engaged or that the spring assisted hood lift
is capable of supporting the hood in the position it is placed in.
•
Wear approved eye protection when working near the engine or battery.
•
Keep lighted cigarettes, sparks, flames or other ignition sources away from battery and fuel
vapors at all times.
•
Do not lay tools or equipment on battery. Accidentally grounding the "hot" battery terminal can
shock or burn you and damage wiring, battery and tools or tester.
•
When connecting battery test leads, be careful to avoid sparks which could cause the battery
to explode.
•
Avoid contact with hot surfaces such as exhaust manifolds and pipes, radiator and hoses, etc.
•
Remove tools from vehicle before starting engine. Tools can shake off, fall into fan blades and
drive pulleys, and be propelled into the air, which could result in property damage and/or injury.
•
Keep out of a direct line with fan blades when testing.
