ENGLISH 2 INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PERSONAL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY IN the WORKSHOP.
DANGER OF SUFFOCATION
GASOLINE ENGINES
Exhaust gases from gasoline vehicles contain Carbon Monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which, in case of
inhalation, can cause serious physical injury or death. When working under a vehicle, be very careful. Some
components of exhaust gases are heavier than air. Be careful also when working on LPG-propelled vehicles.
DIESEL ENGINES
The exhaust gas from a diesel engine has a composition that varies according to: type of engine, of induction,
conditions of use, and fuel composition. The diesel exhaust includes gas (CO, CO2, NO and HC) and particles
(soot, sulphates and PAHs). The small carbon particles forming soot remain suspended in the air and can be
breathed in. Small amounts of toxic components are also present.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Always ensure good ventilation and breathing protection (especially when working under a vehicle. Always
operate the exhaust fan system when working in confined spaces.
DANGER OF CRUSHING
Ensure that the vehicle is locked in place to prevent possible crushing.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Make sure that the vehicle is unable to move by engaging the hand brake and locking the wheels.
DANGER OF INJURY
Whether engines are at a standstill or operating, there are moving parts (belts, etc.) that can injure hands and
arms. Pay particular attention to electrically operated fans since these may unexpectedly start up even when the
engine itself is off.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Never place hands near moving parts when the engine is on. When working near electrically operated fans, let
the engine cool first and then unplug the fan.
- Keep the test instrument connection wires as far as possible away from moving parts of the engine.

INTRODUCTION 3 ENGLISH
DANGER OF BURNS
Some of the components in engines (exhaust gas manifold, etc.) can become very hot, as can certain sensors.
Remember to never touch these parts.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Wear protective gloves. Never allow the test instrument connection wires to rest on or near hot parts. Never
keep the engine running after the tests.
DANGER OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
When work is being carried out on the fuel system (fuel pump, injectors and carburetor, etc.) there may be a risk of
fire or explosion owing to the fuels used and/or the vapors that these products form.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Disconnect the ignition system. Allow the engine to cool.
- Do not use open flames or anything liable to produce sparks.
- Do not smoke.
- Collect any spilled fuel.
- Operate exhaust fans in closed rooms.
SOUND LEVEL
When working near a vehicle, especially at high engine speed, noise levels can reach 90dB. Long term exposure
to such noise sources can cause hearing damage.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Wear hearing protection.

ENGLISH 4 INTRODUCTION
DANGEROUS VOLTAGE
Work safely on vehicle electrical systems. Do not touch electrically “live” parts of engines. Be aware of the risk of
shock from damaged connections.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Only use the cables supplied with the test instrument. Make sure that the insulation is not damaged.
- Do not touch live parts of the vehicle when testing with the engine running.
- Only make test connections with suitable systems (test cables, specific adapter cables).
DANGER OF ASFIXIATION
If subjected to high temperatures (over 250 °C or owing to fire outbreaks), exhaust gas hoses may release highly
toxic gases.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Immediately contact a physician if such gas is inhaled.
- Use neoprene or PVC gloves to eliminate combustion residuals.
- Fire residuals can be neutralized with a calcium hydroxide solution. This forms calcium fluoride which can be
removed with water.
DANGER OF CORROSION
Acids can harm the skin if not protected.
The residual condensate in gas sampling hoses and the condensate separator unit contains acids.
Take great care when replacing the oxygen sensor (O2) and the nitric oxide sensor (NO). They contain highly
corrosive substances.
Corrosive liquid may be spilled if a liquid crystal indicator is broken. This liquid should never be touched, inhaled or
swallowed.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- In case of contact with the skin, immediately wash the affected area with water and contact a physician.
- Immediately contact a physician if such products are inhaled or swallowed.

INTRODUCTION 5 ENGLISH
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PRODUCT SAFETY
This MOTORSCAN product provides a high level of protection against the risk of electric shock.
The installer is responsible for connecting it to a correctly grounded electrical socket. Seek technical assistance
before using an adapter or extension cable. These devices could interfere with the grounding circuit.
Connection of the appliance to an incorrectly wired electrical outlet could result in electrocution.
Comply with the following rules to protect against the risk of electrocution:
- Only connect the instrument to electrical sockets delivering the correct voltage. Contact the electric utility if you
are uncertain as to the outlet voltage.
- If the instrument has other wires besides the power cable, these must be connected to their respective
connectors before connecting the power cables to the electrical outlet. Disconnect the power cables from the
sockets before removing other wires.
Strictly comply with the following instructions when servicing:
- Always replace fuses with others of equal value (see indications on the label or in this manual).
- NEVER open the cover of the instrument: you could risk electrocution. This operation may only be carried out by
a qualified technician and not before having disconnected the power supply cable.
- Deviating from the instructions in this manual or attempting to repair the instrument carries the risk of electric
shock.
Pressing too hard on the display may damage the instrument.
Please contact a service technician if the instrument fails to correctly function after following the operating
instructions.
Check that all installed spare parts have technical characteristics identical to those of the original parts. Other parts
may not possess the same safety characteristics.
Always contact qualified technical personnel if repairs are required.
GENERAL INFORMATION
INSTALLATION
Never allow the instrument to be exposed to the sun for long periods of time or to allow it to stand near hot
equipment (stoves, heaters, etc.): the maximum operating temperature is 40 °C/105 F.
Do not move the instrument from a hot place to a cold place and vice versa. The formation of condensation
inside the device may damage the electronic circuits.
Protect the instrument from rain or from excessive moisture.
OPERATING INFORMATION
To prevent contamination from toxic gas, it is advisable to use the instrument in a sufficiently ventilated place or
to channel exhaust gases outdoors.
Never pull on the instrument’s cables.
All connections should be made when the vehicle engine in question is off.
Check that all cables are far away from hot parts (over 50 °C/130F) or moving parts.
Disconnect all engine connections before moving the vehicle in question.
CLEANING
When necessary, the outer surfaces of the instrument should be cleaned: never use cleaning products
containing spirits, ammonia or gasoline. Only use neutral detergents and a soft, slightly moistened cloth.
