1. Safety Precautions and Warnings
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan
tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following
safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:
z Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
z Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
z Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from
all moving or hot engine parts.
z Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases
are poisonous.
z Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle
unattended while running tests.
z Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil,
distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These
components create hazardous voltages when the engine is
running.
z Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or
NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking
brake is engaged.
z Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/ electrical
fires nearby.
z Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment while the
ignition is on or the engine is running.
z Keep the scan tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or grease. Use a
mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the scan
tool, when necessary.
