General Instructions

 

Important:

Dangerous high and low voltage.

 

Electronic ignition systems have a higher ignition capacity than conventional systems.

 

Because of this, it is dangerous to touch either primary or secondary voltage-bearing parts.

 

When working on the ignition system, the ignition must always be switched off or the battery disconnected.

 

Such operations are, for example: changing parts such as spark plugs, ignition coil, distributor, ignition leads or trigger box.

The same safety precautions apply when connecting checking equipment such as ignition timing light, dwell angle engine speed tester, ignition oscillograph, etc.
