- Put [Wheel Blocks] in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while testing.
- Be extra cautious when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running. [Caution: High Voltage]
- Keep a [Fire Extinguisher] suitable for gasoline, chemical, and electrical fires nearby.
- [Do not connect/disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is running].
- Keep the test equipment dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent in a clean cloth to clean the outside of the equipment as necessary.
- Do not drive the vehicle and operate the test equipment at the same time. Any distraction may cause an accident.
