- To prevent personal injury and/or damage to the ignition system, the following rules must be observed:
- Do not touch or disconnect the ignition wires with your hands while the engine is running or starting.
- Disconnect the wires of the ignition system only when the ignition is off. With the ignition on, high voltage can be generated from the shock of the ignition distributor,
- Connecting and disconnecting control devices (speed meter, stroboscope), as well as wires of the ignition system, to be carried out only with the ignition off.
- To terminal 1 (-) ignition coils, it is forbidden to connect a radio interference capacitor and a test lamp.
- Do not connect measuring devices and a stroboscope with a supply voltage of 12 volts to terminal 15 while the engine is running.
- Do not ground terminal 1 and terminal 15. Do not connect terminal 1 to B+. Therefore, you cannot use terminal 1 to block the engine start when installing the security system yourself.
- Before cranking the engine from the starter (e.g. compression test) turn off the ignition and disconnect the wire from terminal 15 at the ignition coil. On vehicles with DME, remove the main fuel injection system relay (relay 2). Never start the engine with the ignition distributor cap removed or with the ignition coil wires disconnected (terminal 4).
- It is not allowed to replace the ignition coil with a coil of a different type. Never install ignition coils designed for a contact ignition system.
- When heated to temperatures above +80°С (e.g. when painting a car) Do not start the engine immediately after the warm-up phase.
- When carrying out electric welding work, disconnect the battery from the electrical system.
- Wash the car only with the ignition off.
- Persons with cardiac pacemakers must not work on the electronic ignition system.
