OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!

such as a garage, be sure there is proper ventilation. Never inhale exhaust
gases; they contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, extremely
dangerous gas which can cause unconsciousness or death.
CAUTION
CAUTION!
Do not use the Diagnostic Test Leads to check voltages higher than 20
volts. (Don't plug the Diagnostic Test Leads into a standard AC wall
outlet). Also, the Diagnostic Test Leads should be kept away from high
tension secondary ignition wires when the engine is cranking or running.
