Important Safety Information
Work Area Safety
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark
areas may cause accidents.
2. Do not connect or disconnect the
Code Reader while the ignition
is on or the engine is running.
3. DO NOT attempt to operate
the Code Reader while driving
the vehicle. Have a passenger
operate the Code Reader.
4. Before testing a vehicle, engage the
parking brake and chock the tires.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or
flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
6. Carbon Monoxide is produced
while the vehicle’s engine is
operating and is deadly in a closed
environment. Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the flu,
with headaches, dizziness, or nausea.
If you have these signs, the work
area may not be vented properly. Get
fresh air immediately. Operate the
vehicle in a well-ventilated work area.
7. Do not operate the Code Reader
in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or heavy dust.
8. Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for
gasoline/chemical/electrical fires nearby.
9. Use extreme caution when working
around the ignition coil, distributor
cap, ignition wires and spark plugs.
These components create hazardous
voltages when the engine is running.

away while operating the Code Reader.
