!	Important Safety Instructions

Risk of electric shock.

•Do not exceed voltage limits between inputs as indicated in the “Specifications” on page 3-2.

•Use extreme caution when working with circuits that have

greater than 60 volts DC or 24 volts AC. Electric shock can cause injury.

Risk of explosion.

•Wear safety goggles and protective clothing, user and bystander. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resis- tant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

•Do not use this system in environments where explosive

vapor may collect, such as in below-ground pits, confined areas, or areas that are less than 18 inches above the floor.

• Use this equipment in locations with mechanical ventila- tion providing at least four air changes per hour.

•Flammable fuel and vapors can ignite.

•Do not smoke, strike a match, or cause a spark in the vicin- ity of the battery. Battery gases can ignite.

•Avoid making accidental connection between battery ter- minals. Do not place uninsulated metal tools on the bat- tery.

•When removing battery cables, remove ground cable first.

•Avoid sparks when connecting or disconnecting power leads to battery.

•Be sure ignition is OFF, headlights and other accessories are OFF and vehicle doors are closed before disconnect- ing battery cables. This also helps prevent damage to on-board computer systems.

•Always disconnect battery ground connections before

servicing electrical system components. Explosion can cause injury.

! WARNING

Risk of poisoning.

•Use this equipment in locations with mechanical ventila- tion providing at least four air changes per hour. Engine exhaust contains odorless lethal gas.

•Route exhaust outside while testing with engine running. Poisoning can result in death or serious injury.

Battery acid is a highly corrosive sulfuric acid.

•Wear safety goggles and protective gloves, user and bystander. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resis- tant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

•Make sure someone can hear you or is close enough to provide aid when working near a battery.

•Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby. If battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes, flush exposed area with soap and water for 10 minutes.

•Seek medical help.

•Do not touch eyes while working near battery.

Battery acid can burn eyes and skin.

Risk of fire.
