BUCK 450 SERVICE MANUAL 20.0
ACTION REASON
DO NOT: Pierce or probe the secondary leads.
This creates an electrical path to outside the system
permitting improper system operation, misfire, or even
possible personal injury if arcing occurs.
DO NOT: Operate without the spark plug attached.
If a technician or mechanic comes in contact with the
high voltage generated during operation, personal
injury may occur. Or, if the engine is operated under
this condition, unburned fuel may fill the converter
area creating a potential hazard.
DO NOT: Share ignition component wiring with
other components, Dedicated wiring is required.
This prevents electrical cross talking between
components which can lead to component
malfunction.
DO NOT: Apply voltage to the ignition system other
than vehicle system voltage for testing purposes.
This can cause reduced performance or an electrical
malfunction of the ignition system
DO NOT: Use high impact tools to apply the spark
plug boot to the ignition secondary towers.
Installation of the high voltage secondary leads by
hand is preferred.
Damage to the coil tower, secondary boot, or mating
connection surfaces might occur.
DO: Install the secondary leads before connecting
the primary leads.
In the event the low voltage connection has been
made and the power applied, unwanted secondary
output might occur possibly resulting in injury,
damage the ignition component, and test equipment.
DO: Take care when working around the ignition
system.
The high voltage produced by the coil secondary
circuit can cause personal injury and/or damage test
equipment.
DO: Proper handling and shipping methods need
to be in place to reduce the risk of damage due to
impact, moisture, or contamination.
Damaged components can lead to premature failure.
DO: Avoid unnecessary disconnecting and
connecting of the electrical components.
The electrical connections are not designed for
repeated connection and disconnection.
DO: Insure the low voltage connectors are entirely
seated and the locking mechanism is engaged.
This prevents intermittent electrical connections
leading to an improper ignition system operation.
DO: Use approved connector breakouts when
testing the ignition system.
Connector and/or component damage may occur.
DO: Insure the appropriate seals are included in
the connector system.
Liquid intrusion into the terminal connection area
might occur causing an electrical intermittent or short
condition. In the event of severe terminal corrosion, an
open condition might occur.
DO: Operate with gasoline based internal
combustion engines.
Other fuels or combustion designs may require
additional design considerations.
DO: The power feed line should be fused.
This could protect the system in the event of an
electrical short.
