Ignition System

Electric ignition systems operate both in the primary circuit as well as in the secondary electric circuit at a dangerous output stage. Contact with such parts can result in burns, heart fibrillation or cardiac arrest.

• Persons with a cardiac pacemaker may not perform any work on the ignition system.
• Switch OFF ignition before performing work on the ignition system.
• Never touch or dismantle components of ignition system when working on an engine which is running or turning at cranking speed.
• Wear safety shoes (with rubber soles).
• Disconnect female contact from crankshaft position sensor either on the control unit or on the position sensor.
• Never install any electrically conducting, uninsulated adapters or built-in sensors into the ignition cable.
