Safety Precautions
DANGER:
When an engine is operating, keep
the service area well ventilated 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.
WARNING:
When working with hydraulic
or fuel lines, be careful that liquids under
pressure do not escape and create a
dangerous condition. Use adequate
ventilation and make sure there are no sparks
or possibility of sparks that may ignite any
vapor.
Wear an American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) approved eye shield when
testing or repairing vehicles.
Objects propelled by whirling engine
components or pressurized 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.
Do not drive the vehicle and operate the
software at the same time.
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 serious damage or personal injury.
Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid
and produce explosive gases that can result
in serious injury 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
unneeded repairs.
Use only specially designed replacement
parts (brake hoses and lines) for ABS
equipped vehicles.
After bleeding the brake system, check
the brake pedal for excessive travel or a
spongy feel. Bleed again if either condition is
present.
