Safety precautions
To prevent injuries to persons and/or damage to the injection and glow plug system, the following must be noted:
t  The ignition must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting injection or glow plug system wiring or tester cables.
t  If the engine is to be turned at starter speed without starting, e.g. to check compressions, pull off connector from fuel shut-off valve -N109- on injection pump.
t  Before disconnecting battery, obtain radio code for radios with anti-theft coding.
t  Disconnecting and connecting the battery must only be done with the ignition switched off, as otherwise the control unit for diesel direction injection system -J248- could become damaged.
Observe following if test and measuring instruments are required during a road test:
t  Test and measuring instruments must be secured to rear seat and operated by a second person from this location.
If test and measuring instruments are operated from front passenger seat and the vehicle is involved in an accident, there is a possibility that the person sitting in this seat may receive serious injuries when the airbag is triggered.
