Safety Precautions

CAUTION:
Do NOT touch or disconnect ignition cables when engine is running or starter is cranked.
Disconnect wires in ignition system only when ignition is switched OFF.
Connect and disconnect tester leads to ignition system only when ignition is switched OFF.
When high tension cable (terminal 4 from coil) is disconnected from distributor, always connect it directly to ground using jumper cable. Otherwise, engine must NOT be cranked with starter (such as with compression test).
Vehicles that have a detect in the ignition system or are suspected of having one, may only be towed with the connector from terminal 1 of the ignition coil (green wire) disconnected.
Fast charging may only be used for emergency starting for up to 15 seconds maximum with no more than 16.5 volts. Wait at least one minute after each starting attempt.
Do NOT replace ignition coil with conventional type coil.
Battery must be completely disconnected when using arc, spot, or electrical welding equipment.
If components are heated above 80°C (176°F) such as from paint drier or steam cleaner, wait for components to cool down before starting engine.
Do NOT wash engine while it is running or ignition is switched ON.
Do NOT disconnect battery with engine running.
Do NOT apply voltage to control unit to simulate output signals.


CAUTION:
When working on fuel system, always follow these precautions on cleanliness
- Thoroughly clean all unions and area near connections before disconnecting
- Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover over. Use paper or plastic sheet. Use only lint-free cloths
- Components which have been opened or disassembled must be covered or sealed carefully if repair cannot be carried out immediately
- Only install clean components
- Only unpack replacement parts immediately before they are installed
- Do not use parts that have been stored loose (for instance, in tool boxes)
- When fuel system is open, do not work with compressed air if this can be avoided or move car unless absolutely necessary
