Safety precautions
When the engine is running, it emits exhaust gas which contain toxic and poisonous gases.
Always operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated area. These gases are hazardous and may
lead to death if inhaled.
To protect the user’s eyes from propellant object such as caustic liquids, always wear safety
eye protection.
Fuel and battery vapours are highly flammable. DO NOT SMOKE NEAR THE VEHICLE
DURING TESTING.
When engine is running, moving parts (such as pulleys, coolant fan, belts, etc.) turn at high
speed. To avoid serious injury, always be alert and keep a safe distance from these parts.
Before starting the engine for testing or troubleshooting, always make sure the parking brakes
is firmly engaged. Put the transmission in Park (automatic transmission) or Neutral (manual
transmission).
Always block the drive wheels. Never leave the vehicle unattended during testing.
Do not place any tool on vehicle battery. This may short the terminals causing harm to
personnel, tools and/or the battery.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery while working on engine. Loose clothing can get
caught by moving parts while Jewellery can conduct current and can cause severe burns if
comes in contact between power source and ground.
Always have a fire extinguisher readily available and easily accessible in the workshop.
Lead-acid batteries contain a sulfuric acid electrolyte, a highly corrosive liquid which produce gases
when recharged and explode if ignited which could cause severe injuries.
When working with batteries, make sure that the working environment is well-ventilated, remove any
jewellery, watch and wear protective eyewear (safety glasses), clothing, and exercise caution.
Do not allow battery electrolyte to mix with salt water. Even small amount of this combination will
produce chlorine gas that can be fatal when inhaled.
Whenever possible, please follow the manufacturer's instructions for testing, jumping, installing,
charging and equalizing batteries.
Never disconnect a battery cable from a vehicle with the engine running because the battery
acts as a filter for the electrical system.
