Ignition System

WARNING

The ignition system produces extremely high volt- age. Do not touch the spark plugs, ignition coils, or spark plug leads while the engine is running, or you could receive a severe electrical shock.

CAUTION

Do not disconnect the battery cables or any other electrical connections when the ignition switch is on, or while the engine is running. This is to prevent ECU (Electronic Control Unit) damage.

Do not install the battery backwards. The negative side is grounded. This is to prevent damage to the diodes and ECU.
