Safety Precautions

For your safety, read this manual thoroughly before operating your Professional

Enhanced Scan Tool. Always refer to and follow safety messages and test

procedures provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle or equipment being

tested.

Your scan tool is intended for use by properly trained, skilled professional

automotive technicians. The safety messages presented below and throughout

this user’s manual are reminders to the operator to exercise extreme care when

using this test instrument.

Read, understand and follow all safety messages and instructions in this

manual and on the test equipment. Safety messages in this section of the

manual contain a signal word with a three-part message and, in some

instances, an icon. The signal word indicates the level of the hazard in a

situation.

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. The types of safety messages are:

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, will result in death or serious injury to the operator

or to bystanders.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury to the

operator or to bystanders.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, may result in moderate or minor injury to the

operator or to bystanders.

Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, may result in

damage to the test equipment or vehicle.

Safety messages contain three different type styles.

• Normal type states the hazard.

•Bold type states how to avoid the hazard.

•Italic type states the possible consequences of not avoiding the hazard.

An icon, when present, gives a graphical description of the potential hazard.

Example:

Engine systems can malfunction expelling fuel, oil vapors, hot

steam, hot toxic exhaust gases, acid, refrigerant and other

debris.

Wear safety goggles and protective gloves, user and

bystander. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant

lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

Engine systems that malfunction can cause injury.
