Safety precautions when handling electronic ignition system

In the electronic ignition system ignition voltage up to 30 kV (kilovolts). Under adverse conditions, such as moisture in the engine compartment, voltage spikes can penetrate the insulation, contact with which is fraught with electric shock.

In order to avoid injury and damage electronic ignition system, it is necessary when working on machines equipped with an electronic ignition system the following precautions.

Before cranking the starter (eg compression test) to switch off the ignition and remove the plug from the Hall sensor (on the ignition distributor).

When the engine is running or rotating his starter - do not touch the high voltage arm.

Disconnect the wiring of the ignition system only when the ignition is switched off.

Connecting and disconnecting wires instruments (tachometer / ignition tester) only with the ignition off.

In no case do not connect to terminal 1 (-) suppression capacitor or test light.

Start using bystrozaryadnogo device is only allowed for 1 minute with a maximum voltage of 16.5 V. After each attempt to start it is necessary to maintain 1 minute pause.

Ignition coil can not be changed on the coil of another performance. In no case do not set the ignition coil, designed for contact ignition system.

You can not Rotor, distributor 1 k (denoted R1) to replace the others, even to eliminate interference.

To eliminate interference, apply to high voltage resistance only 1 kW and the spark plug 5 ohms.

Disconnect the battery only when the ignition is switched off, otherwise the possible failure of the control unit of ignition and fuel injection.

Sink engine only with the ignition off.

People with a cardiac pacemaker installed, you can not carry out work on the electronic ignition system.
