SAFETY GUIDELINES
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DAM
AGE TO YOUR VEHICLE OR TEST EQUIPMENT, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE SAFETY
RULES AND TEST PROCEDURES
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Fire Extinguisher
Never work on your car without having a suitable
re extinguisher handy. A 5-lb or larger CO2 or
dry chemical unit speci ed for gasoline/chemical/electrical res is recommended.
Fireproof Container
Rags and ammable liquids should be stored only
in reproof, closed metal containers. A gasolinesoaked rag should be allowed to dry thoroughly
outdoors before being discarded.
Safety Goggles
We recommend wearing safety goggles when
working on your car, to protect your eyes from
battery acid, gasoline, and dust and dirt ying o
moving engine parts.
NOTE: Never look directly into the carburetor throat
while the engine is cranking or running, as sudden
back re can cause burns.
LOOSE CLOTHING AND LONG HAIR
(MOVING PARTS)
Be very careful not to get your hands, hair or clothes
near any moving parts such as fan blades, belts
and pulleys or throttle and transmission linkages.
Never wear neckties or loose clothing when working on your car.
JEWELRY
Never wear wrist watches, rings or other jewelry
when working on your car. You’ll avoid the possibility of catching on moving parts or causing
an electrical short circuit which could shock or
burn you.
VENTILATION
The carbon monoxide in exhaust gas is highly toxic.
To avoid asphyxiation, always operate vehicle in a
well-ventilated area. If vehicle is in an enclosed area,
exhaust should be routed directly to the outside
via leakproof exhaust hose.
SETTING THE BRAKE
Make sure that your car is in Park or Neutral, and
that the parking brake is rmly set.
NOTE: Some vehicles have an automatic release
on the parking brake when the gear shift lever
is removed from the PARK position. This feature
must be disabled when it is necessary (for testing)
to have the parking brake engaged when in the
DRIVE position. Refer to your vehicle service manual
for more information.
HOT SURFACES
Avoid contact with hot surfaces such as exhaust
manifolds and pipes, mu ers (catalytic converters),
radiator and hoses. Never remove the radiator cap
while the engine is hot, as escaping coolant under
pressure may seriously burn you.
SMOKING AND OPEN FLAMES
Never smoke while working on your car. Gasoline
vapor is highly ammable, and the gas formed in
a charging battery is explosive.
BATTERY
Do not lay tools or equipment on the battery. Ac-
cidentally grounding the “HOT ” batter y terminal can
shock or burn you and damage wiring, the battery
or your tools and testers. Be careful of contact with
battery acid. It can burn holes in your clothing and
burn your skin or eyes.
When operating any test instrument from an
auxiliary battery, connect a jumper wire between
the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery and
ground on the vehicle under test. When working
in a garage or other enclosed area, auxiliary battery should be located at least 18 inches above
the oor to minimize the possibility of igniting
gasoline vapors
HIGH VOLTAGE
High voltage — 30,000 to 50,000 volts — is present
in the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires
and spark plugs. When handling ignition wires
while the engine is running, use insulated pliers to
avoid a shock. While not lethal, a shock may cause
you to jerk involuntarily and hurt yourself.
JACK
The jack supplied with the vehicle should be used
only for changing wheels. Never crawl under car
or run engine while vehicle is on a jack.

1. METER
This meter displays the following scales:
• Volts 0-16
• RPM 0-2000 (8 cylinder)
0-4000 (4 cylinder
– multiply
8 cylinder scale
by 2)
• RPM 0-2500 (6 cylinder)
• Dwell 0-45 degrees (8 cylinder)
0-90 degrees (4
cylinder–
multiply 8 cylinder by 2)
• Dwell 0-60 degrees (6 cylinder)
• Points OK/Defective
2. FUNCTION SELECTOR
This selects the RPM, Dwell, or Volts functions
of the instrument.
3. TEST LEAD
Hook this lead to the proper test point in the
vehicle to perform tests as required and as
described below:
VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
GREEN CLIP – Connect to the Positive (+) volt-
age source to be measured. (+ Battery terminal,
alternator output terminal, lamp socket, etc.).
BLACK CLIP – Vehicle ground.
CAUTION!
Avoid connecting the BLACK CLIP to the
negative(-) battery terminal or any fuel system components in the event that glasses are
present which could explode from sparking
connections.
DWELL/TACH/BREAKER POINT RESISTANCE
MEASUREMENT
GREEN CLIP – Connect to the Tach or negative
(-) ignition coil terminal. See Figures 3 through
10 for speci c applications
BLACK CLIP – Vehicle Ground. See CAUTION
under voltage measurements.
ACCESSORIES
See Figure 2.
1. GM DIAGNOSTIC ADAPTOR
