Safety Precautions - Innova 5568 Manual Del Propietário

Always observe safety precautions whenever working on a vehicle.
DO NOT wear loose clothing, watches, rings or other jewelry when working on a vehicle.
Always wear safety eye protection.
Only work on a vehicle in a well-ventilated area.
Put transmission in "park" (for automatic) or "neutral" (for manual). Set parking brake. Put blocks on
drive wheels.
Avoid moving fan blades or any potentially moving parts. WHEN USING THE TIMING LIGHT,
THESE PARTS MAY APPEAR TO BE STOPPED OR MOVING SLOWLY.
Avoid hot engine parts.
The vehicle battery produces explosive gases. DO NOT smoke or allow spark or flame near the
battery.
BE CAREFUL when working near high-voltage parts (spark plugs or coil terminals).
Turn off ignition before connecting (or disconnecting) any testing equipment.
ALWAYS READ THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE MANUAL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
PROCEDURE. OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
■
If the Digital Timing Light readout becomes inoperative or locks up during use, disconnect
and reconnect the timing light's positive battery clip from the battery to reset the unit.
■
Some aftermarket ignition systems and/or specialty spark plug wires (solid core wires,
racing wires, off-road wires) radiate above normal Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)
and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) which can cause improper operation of testing
equipment. Please contact these manufacturers for instructions on how to use an
inductive pickup with their systems.
■
It may be necessary to replace the No. 1 spark plug wire with an O. E.-style plug wire
during testing.
