Safety measures
  WARNING
For all installation jobs, especially in the engine compartment, due to reduced space, pay attention to the following:
t  Place all hoses (fuel, hydraulics, activated charcoal-filter, cooling fluid,-breake fluid, vacuum) and electric cables so as to restore original positions.
t  Ensure there is enough free space between all mobile or hot parts.
To avoid personal injury and/or injection and pre-heating equipment damages, do the following:
t  Disconnect and connect injection and pre-heating system wiring and cables and also the cables of the measuring equipment regularly with ignition off.
t  When engine must run at linking rotation without starting, for the compression test for example, release the 10-pin connector from the injection pump
t  Before disconnecting battery from an anti-theft coded radio, request password.
t  Battery disconnection and connection can only be performed with ignition off, otherwise the diesel direct injection system command unit may be damaged.
If measuring equipment is necessary in test drives, the following applies:
t  Test and measuring equipment must always be fixed to the backseat and handled there by a second person.
When test or measuring equipment are handled on the passenger seat, any accident can cause personal injury due to activation of the airbag.
