Safety Precautions For the LH System

Safety precautions for the LH system

CAUTION: When carrying out any work involving fuel, fuel supply systems or fuel injection, make sure that the area is well ventilated. If approved extraction equipment for fuel vapor is available, use it. Wear suitable gloves, as prolonged contact with fuel can cause dermatitis. No smoking anywhere in the vicinity. Always make sure a suitable fire extinguisher is nearby.


1 Never start the engine unless the battery is properly connected to the car's electrical system.
2 Under no circumstances should an attempt be made to start the engine using an external power source, such as batteries connected in series (24 V) or a fast-boost charger (16 V), with the battery connected to the car's electrical system.
3 If a fast-boost charger is used, make sure that the battery cables are disconnected.
4 Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running.
5 Make sure that all electric cable connections make good electrical contact.
6 Never plug in or unplug the control module connector with the ignition switched on.
7 Before conducting a compression test, unplug the connector on the output stage of the ignition system.
8 At temperatures above +80°C (176°F), such as occur in connection with stove enamelling and drying of paint work, the control module must be removed from the car.
9 Always remove the control module before carrying out any electric welding.
10 Take care never to transpose the connections on the fuel pump.
