1. SAFETY
▲ DANGER! - Be aware, lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason it is very important to read and
follow these instructions carefully, each time you use the timing light. Follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer
and the maker of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and
on engines.
1.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice and close enough to come to your aid should a problem arise
9
when working near a lead-acid battery.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
9
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
9
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool,
9
clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit
9
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal and may cause severe burns.
Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long
9
hair.
DO NOT smoke or allow a spark, or flame, in the vicinity of battery or engine.
8
Remember that a flashing timing light 'freezes' rotating components. DO NOT be tempted to touch an apparently stationary
9
component which is, in fact, rotating.
WARNING! When ignition is on DO NOT touch any ignition components - very high voltages are present.
‰
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! When running an engine in an enclosed space ensure adequate ventilation or ducted exhaust. Exhaust gases kill.
‰
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
9
Ensure vehicle transmission is in 'Neutral' (manual) or 'Park' (automatic) and the parking brake is applied.
9
Ensure the ignition is switched off before attaching the power clamps to the battery.
9
Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure that you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
9
If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty, clean them before attaching the timing light clamps.
9
DO NOT dis-assemble the timing light for any reason. The timing light must only be checked by qualified service personnel.
8
WARNING! DO NOT allow metal tools or equipment to accidentally touch battery terminals since this may produce sparks or a short
‰
circuit resulting in an explosion.
DO NOT cross-connect leads from the timing light to the battery. Ensure positive (+) (RED) is to positive and negative (-) BLACK is to
8
negative.
If symbols cannot be distinguished, negative terminal is normally the one directly connected to the vehicle bodywork (check vehicle
9
handbook).
DO NOT allow inductive pick-up, or leads, to contact exhaust or other engine parts as the heat will cause damage.
8
DO NOT pull the cables or clamps from the battery terminals.
8
DO NOT use the timing light outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations, and DO NOT operate within the vicinity of flammable liquids or
8
gases.
DO NOT use the timing light for a task for which it is not designed. When not in use, store the timing light in a safe, dry, childproof
8
location.
