1. Safety Precautions and Warnings

To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles

and/or the scan tool, read this instruction manual first

and observe the following safety precautions at a

minimum whenever working on a vehicle:

 Always perform automotive testing in a safe

environment.

 Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI

standards.

 Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc.

away from all moving or hot engine parts.

 Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area:

Exhaust gases are poisonous.

 Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never

leave the vehicle unattended while running tests.

 Use extreme caution when working around the

ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark

plugs. These components create hazardous voltages

when the engine is running.

 Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic

transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual transmission)

and make sure the parking brake is engaged.

 Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for

gasoline/chemical/ electrical fires nearby.

 Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment

while the ignition is on or the engine is running.

 Keep the scan tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or

grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to

clean the outside of the scan tool, when necessary.
