Safety Precautions
CAUTION: Fuel supply lines are under pressure. Wear eye protection and protective gloves to avoid injuries and skin contact with fuel. Before removing from hose connection wrap a cloth around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully pulling hose off connection.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following:
- Do not touch or remove ignition wires when engine is running or turning at starter speed.
- The ignition must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting injection and ignition system wiring or tester cables.
- To operate engine at starting RPM without starting, for example during the compression test, disconnect connector -1- from the power output stage for ignition coils -2- and remove fuse 28 for the fuel pump.
If special testing equipment is required during road test, note the following:
- Test and measuring instruments must be secured to rear seat and operated by a 2nd person from this location.
If test and measuring instruments are operated from the front passengers seat and the vehicle is involved in an accident, there is a possibility that the person sitting in this seat may receive serious injuries when the airbag is triggered.
