1.1 Notes for the Use of the Quick Start Guide

This quick start guide contains important information relevant to operator safety. Go to www.hella-gutmann.com/manuals to find all the manuals, instructions, references, and lists about our diagnostic devices, tools, and much more. Please also visit our Hella Academy under www.hella-academy.com and expand your knowledge with various online tutorials and other training courses. Please read the quick start guide entirely. Pay special attention to the first pages containing the safety instructions. They are provided solely to assure your safety when working with the device. You are recommended to read the individual work steps in the manual again while working with the device, in order to avoid danger to personnel and equipment or operating errors. The device shall be operated exclusively by personnel qualified in vehicle engineering. Information and knowledge included in this training is not explained further in this quick start guide. The manufacturer reserves the right to modify this quick start guide and the device itself without prior notice. We, therefore, recommend checking for any updates. This quick start guide must accompany the device in case of sale or other transfer. The quick start guide must be kept for the entire service life of the device and accessible at any time.

1.2 Range of Functions
The range of functions of the software may vary depending on the country, the licenses acquired, and/or the optionally available hardware. This documentation may therefore describe functions that are not available on the individual device. Missing functions can be enabled by acquiring a corresponding license subject to charge and/or additional hardware.

Safety Precautions

2.1 Safety Precautions – Risk of Injury

When working on the vehicle, there is a risk of injury through rotating parts or rolling of the vehicle. Therefore regard the following: • Prevent the vehicle from rolling. • Additionally place gear selector lever of AT vehicles to park position. • Deactivate the start/stop system to avoid an inadvertent engine startup. • Connect the device to the vehicle only when the ignition is switched off. • Do not reach into rotating components when the engine is running. • Do not run cables near rotating parts. • Check the high-voltage parts for damage.

2.2 Safety Precautions for the mega macs 66

To prevent incorrect handling and consequent injuries to the user or damage to the device, observe the following: • Select functions and menus on the touch screen display only with clean fingers. Do not use a tool, e.g., a screwdriver. • Only connect the original power adapter to the power cord (supply voltage 10–15 V). • Protect the TFT LCD and the device from long periods of exposure to solar radiation. • Protect the device and the connecting cable from hot components. • Protect the device and the connecting cables from rotating parts. • Regularly check the connecting cables/accessory parts for damage (destruction of the device due to short circuit). • Connect the device exclusively according to the user manual. • Keep the device away from fluids such as water, oil, or gasoline. The mega macs 66 is not waterproof. • Protect the device from strong impacts and do not drop it. • Do not open the device on your own. Only technicians authorized by Hella Gutmann are allowed to open the device. Warranty and guarantee will be rendered void at any case of unauthorized tampering of the device or if the protective seal is damaged. • If the device malfunctions, contact Hella Gutmann or a Hella Gutmann trading partner without delay.

2.3 Safety Precautions for Testing/Measuring Devices

• Perform measurements only on electric circuits that are not directly connected to the line voltage. • Never exceed the maximum permissible voltage load of 160 V alternating voltage (AC) or 200 V direct current voltage (DC) respectively. • Do not exceed the voltage limits indicated on the connecting cables. • The voltage values to be measured must be shielded extra or even twice from dangerous line voltage. The voltage limits printed on the test leads must not be exceeded. Pay attention that the allowed measuring range of 200 V/DC / 160 V is not exceeded when measuring the positive and negative voltage at the same time. • Never perform measurements on ignition systems. • Regularly check the test and measuring devices for damage. • Always connect the test and measuring devices to the measurement module (MT 66) first. • Do not touch the connections/measurement points during the measurement.

• Voltage
• Current
• Resistance
• Temperature
•  Pressure

Current measurements are allowed exclusively with the clamp meter from Hella Gutmann. Depending on the required measurement, different clamps are to be used.
Only use the Hella Gutmann infrared thermometer for temperature measurements. Pressure measurements require the Low-Pressure Diagnostic Kit (LPD kit) of Hella Gutmann. A light blue bar in the top toolbar indicates how much of the memory space reserved for this purpose in the Car History has been used. If the blue bar is complete, the first data of the present measurement will be removed from the memory and the free capacity is filled with new data.
