Important Safety Instructions
Some vehicles are equipped with air bags. You must follow vehicle
service manual’s warnings when working around the air bag
components or wiring. If the service manual’s instructions are not
followed, the air bag may open up unexpectedly, resulting in
personal injury. Note that the air bag can still open up several
minutes after the ignition key is off (or even if the vehicle battery
is disconnected) because of a special energy reserve module.
Risk of electric shock.
• Do not exceed voltage limits between inputs as indicated in
the “Specifications” on page 2-2.
• Use extreme caution when working with circuits that have
greater than 60 volts DC or 24 volts AC.
Electric shock can cause injury.
Risk of explosion.
• Wear safety goggles and protective clothing, user and
bystander. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
• Do not use this system in environments where explosive
vapor may collect, such as in below-ground pits, confined
areas, or areas that are less than 18 inches above the floor.
• Use this equipment in locations with mechanical
ventilation providing at least four air changes per hour.
• Flammable fuel and vapors can ignite.
• Do not smoke, strike a match, or cause a spark in the
vicinity of the battery. Battery gases can ignite.
• Avoid making accidental connection between battery
terminals. Do not place uninsulated metal tools on the
battery.
• When removing battery cables, remove ground cable first.
• Avoid sparks when connecting or disconnecting power
leads to battery.
• Be sure ignition is OFF, headlights and other accessories
are OFF and vehicle doors are closed before disconnecting
battery cables. This also helps prevent damage to on-board
computer systems.
• Always disconnect battery ground connections before
servicing electrical system components.
Explosion can cause injury.
Risk of poisoning.
• Use this equipment in locations with mechanical
ventilation providing at least four air changes per hour.
Engine exhaust contains odorless lethal gas.
• Route exhaust outside while testing with engine running.
Poisoning can result in death or serious injury.
