Things You Should Know
CAUTION: EXHAUST GAS
When performing any checks with the engine running in an enclosed space such as a garage, ensure proper ventilation. Never inhale exhaust gases; they contain carbon monoxide—a colorless, odorless, extremely dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness or death.
CAUTION: PARKING BRAKE
To help avoid personal injury, always set the parking brake securely and block the drive wheels before performing any checks or repairs on the vehicle.
CAUTION: SPARKS
The Tech 2 uses parts that can produce arcs or sparks. When used in a garage environment, the Tech 2 must be located not less than 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor.
