Safety Precautions
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.
WARNING:
• When working with hydraulic or fuel
lines, be careful that liquids under
pressure do not escape and create a
dangerous condition. Use adequate
ventilation and make sure there are
no sparks or possibility of sparks that
may ignite any vapor.
• Wear an American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) approved eye shield
when testing or repairing vehicles.
• Objects propelled by whirling engine
components or pressurized liquids
escaping may cause personal injury.
• Set the parking brake and block the
wheels before testing or repairing a
vehicle. It is especially important to
block the wheels on front-wheel drive
vehicles because the parking brake
does not hold the drive wheels.
• Do not drive the vehicle and operate
the software at the same time.
• Maintain adequate clearance around
moving components or belts during
testing.
• Moving components and belts can
catch loose clothing, body parts, or
test equipment and cause serious
damage or personal injury.
• Automotive batteries contain sulfu-
ric acid and produce explosive gases
that can result in serious injury due to
ignition of gases. Keep lit cigarettes,
sparks, flames, and other ignition
sources away from the battery at all
times.
• Refer to the service manual for
the vehicle being serviced. Adhere
to all diagnostic procedures and
precautions Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or otherwise
unneeded repairs.
• Use only specially designed
replacement parts (brake hoses and
lines) for ABS equipped vehicles.
• After bleeding the brake system,
check the brake pedal for excessive
travel or a spongy feel. Bleed again if
either condition is present.
• When installing transmitting devices
(Citizen Band radio, telephone, etc)
on ABS-equipped vehicles, do not
locate the antenna near the ABS
control unit or any other control unit.
