Safety Instructions

The safety messages herein cover situations Autel is aware of. Autel cannot know, evaluate or advise you as to all of the possible hazards. You must be certain that any condition or service procedure encountered does not jeopardize your personal safety.
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.

WARNINGS:

• 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, for exhaust gases are poisonous.
• Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
• Put 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.
• Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline, chemical, and electrical fires nearby.
• Do not connect or 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.
• Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being serviced and adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the test equipment.
• To avoid damaging the test equipment or generating false data, make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the vehicle □LC is clean and secure.
• Do not place the test equipment on the distributor of the vehicle. Strong electro-magnetic interference can damage the equipment.
