Safety Guidelines For Working on Vehicles:
• Always wear approved eye protection.
• Always operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated area. Do not inhale exhaust
gases—they are very poisonous!
• Always keep yourself, tools, and test equipment away from all moving or hot
engine parts.
• Always make sure the vehicle is in Park (automatic transmission) or Neutral
(manual transmission) and that the parking brake is firmly set. Block the
drive wheels.
• Never lay tools on vehicle battery. You may short the terminals together,
causing harm to yourself, the tools, or the battery.
• Never smoke or have open flames near vehicle. Vapors from gasoline and
charging batteries are highly flammable and explosive.
• Never leave vehicle unattended while running tests.
• Always keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/electrical/chemical fires
handy.
• Always turn ignition key OFF when connecting or disconnecting electrical
components, unless otherwise instructed.
• Keep away from engine cooling fan. On some vehicles, the fan may start up
unexpectedly.
• Always follow vehicle manufacturer’s warnings, cautions, and service proce-
dures.
