1.Safety Precautions and Warnings
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the tool, read
this instruction manual first and observe the following safety
precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:
Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving
or hot engine parts.
Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases are
poisonous.
Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle
unattended while running tests.
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.
Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL
(for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical fires
nearby.
Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or
the engine is running.
Keep the 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.
