Safety Precautions

Form  824262 

Page Number - 3

WARNING!

MV5545E must be operated by qualified service technicians.

If personal injury or material damage occurs as a result of inappro-
priate operation, e.g. if safety instructions are ignored, or resulting 
from incorrect use, no claims or legal actions may be taken against 
Lincoln.

The use of this service tool requires the exposure of highly 
flammable gasoline. To prevent fires, explosions and/or severe 
injury, always apply extra precautions when diagnosing or 
working on fuel systems.

The FST Pro is designed for servicing a variety of vehicles in a 
safe, convenient manner. However, fuel delivery systems vary 
widely between makes and models of vehicles, potentially requir-
ing additional steps or equipment to perform a proper service job. 
The procedures outlined in this manual are to serve as guidelines 
for the use of this equipment. In addition to these guidelines, 
always follow the manufacturer’s recommended 
procedures when servicing each unique vehicle. Use common 
sense in the application of this tester and do not attempt to force 
a test on a fuel system for which this equipment is not designed to 
perform.

This tester is designed for use on gasoline/petrol or diesel engines 
only. It is safe for use with gasoline and most gasoline additives, 
including alternative/flex fuels that contain high levels of ethanol.

•   Always read carefully and understand instructions prior to us-

ing this equipment

•   Wear safety glasses at all times

•   Operate the vehicle only in a well ventilated area, and away 

from potential sources of flame or ignition.

•   Prior to starting an engine, make sure all components of the 

tester, body parts, and personal clothing are clear of rotating 
engine components

•   Avoid burns by remaining cautious of engine parts that may 

become hot when the engine is running

•   Never leave a vehicle unattended while testing

•   Check and secure all fuel system connections before 

starting the vehicle or activating the fuel pump

•   Wear gloves and protective clothing to avoid the contact of 

fuel on skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash the area and 
perform necessary first aid

• 

Always keep a fire extinguisher on hand when performing fuel 
related diagnostics. Make sure the extinguisher is rated for fuel, 
electrical and chemical fires

• 

Avoid spilling fuel on hot engine parts. Clean-up any fuel spills 
immediately after they occur

CAUTION
