Safety Information
For your own safety and the safety of others, and to prevent damage to the
equipment and vehicles upon which it is used, it is important that the safety
instructions presented throughout this manual be read and understood by all
persons operating or coming into contact with the equipment.
There are various procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for servicing
vehicles, as well as in the skill of the individual doing the work. Because of
the vast number of test applications and variations in the products that can
be tested with this instrument, we cannot possibly anticipate or provide
advice or safety messages to cover every situation.
It is the automotive technician’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of the
system being tested. It is essential to use proper service methods and test
procedures. It is important to perform tests in an appropriate and acceptable
manner that does not endanger your safety, the safety of others in the work
area, the equipment being used, or the vehicle being tested.
Before using the equipment, always refer to and follow the safety messages and
applicable test procedures provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle or
equipment being tested. Use the equipment only as described in this manual.
Read, understand, and follow all safety messages and instructions in this
manual.
Safety Messages
Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and equipment
damage. All safety messages are introduced by a signal word indicating the
hazard level.
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.
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 a 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, and 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 DLC is clean and secure.
- Do not place the test equipment on the distributor of the vehicle. Strong electromagnetic interference can damage the equipment.
