Model UT107: OPERATING MANUAL
Automotive Servicing Safety Guide
Warning
As some automobiles are installed with safety air
bags, you must pay attention to the cautions in the
automotive servicing manual when you are working
around the components and wiring of the air bags,
or any carelessness will open an air bag, resulting
in some personal injury. Note that the air bag will
also be opened for a few minutes after the ignition
lock is closed (or even when the automotive battery
is cut off), which is driven by the special energy
reserve.
Wear protective eyeglasses which meet safety
requirements.
Operate the automobile in a well-ventilated place so
as to prevent the inhalation of any toxic tail gas.
Keep your own tools and testing instruments far from
all the heater components of the operating engine.
Ensure that the automobile has stopped (automatic
transmission) or put into neutral gear (manual
transmission) and be sure that it is equipped with
brakes and the wheels have been locked.
Do not place any tool on the automotive battery which
will cause a short circuit of the electrodes and in turn
lead to any personal injury or damage to a tool or
battery.
Smoking or striking a light near the automobile is
prohibited.
Pay attention to ignition coil, an ignition lead or a
spark plug socket because these components are
provided with high voltages when the automobile is
operating.
To connect or cut off an electronic component, close
the ignition lock.
Pay attention to the automotive producer’s cautions,
notes and servicing procedures.
