IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Warning!
Read all instructions.
2. Warning!
Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been damaged
- until it has been examined by a qualified serviceman.
3. Warning!
Do not let cord hang over edge of table, bench or counter, or come in contact with hot
manifolds or moving fan blades.
4. Warning!
An extension cord is not allowed. For testing use only specified cables.
5. Warning!
Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in use. Never yank cord to pull
plug from outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
6. Warning!
To protect against risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of fuel (gasoline).
Risk of explosion
This equipment has internal arcing or sparking parts wich should not be exposed to

7. Warning!
Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating combustion engines.
8. Warning!
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufactures’s recommended attachments.
9. Warning!
When connected to electrical power supply, the devices correspond to protection
class 1 and are fitted with a safety-tested power cable. They may only be connected to
electrical networks with an earthed protective conductor (TN networks) or electrical outlets with earthed protective conductors.
10. Warning!
All measurement probes shall be used within their specifications and as described
within these instructions. All measurement clamps shall be used on appropriate insulated wiring. Do not conduct measurement, if the wiring is damaged.
11. Warning!
During test drives, secure the tester with a strap on the vehicle's back seatand connect
it to the vehicle using the diagnostic cable. A second person must operate the tester
from the back seat. Operation from the front seat is too dangerous, e.g. in the event of
airbag activation.
VAS 5051
To supply the VAS 5051 with power from the vehicle battery, use only the 3 m diagnostic
cable.

12. Warning!
Electrical ignition systems carry currents of up to approx. 30 kV. Observe general safety
guidelines for workshops at all times.
13. Warning!
If you open the tester or its accessories without authorisation or carry out improper alterations to them, considerable risk to you and to the device may result.
14. Caution!
Fluctuations and deviations in the power supply beyond the permitted range of tolerance can lead to malfunctions and damage.
15. Caution! VAS 5051 - changing fuse
For inline current measurement with the VAS 5051, only a replacement fuse of the
same type and same amperage may be installed in order to avoid risks of fire and to
protect the device. To order original parts, refer to the corresponding chapters of the
Operating Manual.
16. Caution! when connecting other vehicle makes
The VAS 505x diagnostic devices were developed for vehicles from the Volkswagen
group. If the tester is connected directly to vehicles from other manufacturers, damage
to the vehicle could result.
Therefore if vehicles of other makes are to be tested using the general OBD functions in
the self-diagnosis application, the OBD adapter cable VAS 5052/16 needs to be connected between the diagnostic cable and the diagnostic connection on the vehicle (with
fewer cable connections).
17. Caution!
• Battery change may only be performed by qualified personel.
• Do not short out the battery.
• Do not incinerate the battery.
• Dispose/recycle the battery in accordance with local environmental regulations.
