Safety Precautions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This guide contains important
safety and operating instructions.
Read and understand all instructions before operating the tool.
DANGER:
When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTI-
LATED 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.
WARNINGS:
•
When working with hydraulic or fuel lines, be careful that
liquids under pressure do not escape and create a danger-
ous condition. Use adequate ventilation and make sure there
are no sparks or possibility of sparks present that may ignite
any vapor.
•
Wear an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) ap-
proved eye shield when testing or repairing vehicles.
•
Objects propelled by whirling engine components or pres-
surized 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.
•
Use only specifically designed replacement parts (brake
hoses and lines) for ABS-equipped vehicles.
•
Do not drive the vehicle and operate the software at the same
time. Any distractions may cause an accident. Have one
person operate the software as another person drives the
vehicle.
•
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 seri-
ous damage or personal injury.
•
Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce
explosive gases that can result in serious injury. To prevent
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 un-
needed repairs.
•
After bleeding the brake system, check the brake pedal for
excessive travel or a ”spongy” feel. Bleed again if either
condition is present.
•
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates and radiates radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications.
•
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.
•
To reduce risk of injury, charge only US Service Solutions,
LLC-supplied rechargeable batteries for the Genisys Touch
product with the supplied charger. Other types of batteries
may burst, causing injury to persons and damage.
•
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the bat-
tery charger manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock,
or personal injury.
•
Do not operate the tool with a damaged cord or connector.
Replace damaged cords and connectors immediately.
•
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take the
charger to a qualified service person.
•
Do not disassemble the charger. Take the charger to a quali-
fied service person if service or repair is necessary. Incorrect
reassembly may result in electric shock or fire. Unplug char-
ger before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning
off controls will not reduce this risk.
•
To prevent possible hearing damage, avoid using the tool at
high volume levels for long periods.
•
Do not expose tool or charger to rain, moisture, or snow.
•
Verify that cords are located so as not to be stepped on,
tripped over, or otherwise become a safety hazard or sub-
jected to damage or stress.
IMPORTANT:
•
Operate the device only at temperatures of 0–40°C (32–104°F).
•
To avoid damage or generation of false data, make sure the
vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the vehicle
Diagnostic Link Connection is clean and secure.
•
Do not place the tool on or near the ignition system of a vehicle.
Strong electromagnetic interference can damage the tool.
•
Never disconnect or reconnect any electrical connector while the
ignition is on. Powertrain Control Module damage may result.
Radiation Exposure Statement:
This product complies with the FCC portable RF exposure limit
set forth for an uncontrolled environment and is safe for intended
operation as described in this manual. Further RF exposure
reduction can be achieved by keeping the product as far as pos-
sible from the user's body or by setting the device to lower output
power if such function is available.
