Safety Instructions
The safety messages herein cover situations Autel is aware of. Autel cannot
know, evaluate or advise you as to all of the possible hazards. You must be
certain that any condition or service procedure encountered does not
jeopardize your personal safety.
DANGER
When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTILATED or
attach a building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust system.
Engines produce carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas that causes
slower reaction time and can lead to serious personal injury or loss of life.
SAFETY WARNINGS
Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment away from all moving
or hot engine parts.
Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area, for exhaust gases are
poisonous.
Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL
(for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle
unattended while testing.
Be extra cautious when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap,
ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous
voltages when the engine is running.
Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline, chemical, and electrical
fires nearby.
Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on
or the engine is running.
Keep the test equipment dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a
mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the equipment as
necessary.
Do not drive the vehicle and operate the test equipment at the same
time. Any distraction may cause an accident.

iv
Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being serviced and adhere to
all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or damage to the test equipment.
To avoid damaging the test equipment or generating false data, make
sure the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the
vehicle DLC is clean and secure.
Do not place the test equipment on the distributor of the vehicle. Strong
electro-magnetic interference can damage the equipment.
