WARNING: This ignition system generates approximately 40,000 Volts. Exercise care when performing spark test and always use non-conductive ignition wire pliers. Contact with this system may result in personal injury.

Always wear appropriate eye protection.

Ignition systems present a shock hazard; exercise care when performing spark test.

Flooded engines may create a potentially hazardous situation.

- Keep all flames, sparks and heat sources away from flooded engines.
- When draining fuel contaminated oil, make sure the vehicle is located in a safe, well ventilated area.
- Disable The ignition system BEFORE cranking a flooded engine, with the spark plugs removed, due to the possibility of igniting any raw fuel coming out of the spark plug holes.
