GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR OPERATOR SAFETY

Read carefully the installation, operating and maintenance instructions in the Operator's
manual.
Do not allow unqualified persons to use this equipment. This will prevent injury to
persons and damage to the equipment and its instruments.
The work place must be dry, sufficiently lighted and well ventilated.
In particular, car diagnostic operations that require the engine to be running, must be
done in work areas equipped with a gas exhausting system.
Don not forget that breathing carbon monoxide (odourless) can cause serious damage
to the organism.

When working on engines or other vehicle parts:

•
Wear suitable clothing and act in such a way as to prevent industrial accidents.
•
Before starting, check and ensure that the gear shift is in neutral (or in PARK (P) if
the transmission is automatic), put the handbrake up and check to ensure that the
wheels are completely braked.
•
Protect your face, hands and feet and do not touch hot parts such as spark plugs,
exhaust pipes, radiators or cooling system fittings.
•
Do not smoke or light flames when working on a vehicle.
•
Check to ensure that all electric connections are isolated and tight.
•
Do not look directly into the carburettor intake tube from close up when the engine
is running.
•
Keep hands and hair away from moving parts. Do not wear ties, loose garments,
bracelets or wrist watches when working on a vehicle especially if its engine is
running.
•
Keep out of the fan's contact range; the cooling fan is controlled by a thermic
switch activated by the temperature of the cooling liquid. Always disconnect a wire
from the fan whenever you have to work on a vehicle whose engine is still hot.
This is to prevent the fan from starting suddenly even when the engine has been
turned off.
•
Never pour fuel directly into the carburettor to help start the engine.
