Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Technician Safety Information

1. Ignition systems present a shock hazard; exercise care when performing spark test and always use non-conductive ignition wire pliers.
2. Block the drive wheels, as a safety routine, before beginning any service with the vehicle on the ground.
3. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use jackstraws, on a flat and level hard surface, for safe support.
4. Always wear appropriate eye protection.
