How to Set Up Your Tornado120000 for Best Results?
Follow these tips to improve performance, extend product life, and avoid errors during use.
Tip 1: Let Fan Finish Cooling
After use, the internal fan will continue running to cool the unit. Always allow it to complete its cycle before unplugging or turning off the power. This prevents overheating and helps your Tornado last longer.
Tip 2: Choose Right Power Outlet (For USA & Canada)
- 15-Amp Outlet: Ideal for most tasks where current stays below 80A.
- 20-Amp Outlet (with a horizontal pin):Necessary for high-power operations like programming newer European cars or advanced electronic systems where current may exceed 80A.
Important:
Make sure the outlet is connected to a dedicated 20-amp circuit breaker. Using a 20-amp outlet on a 15-amp circuit is dangerous.
Tip 3: Use a Suitable Extension Cord
If you use an extension cord, make sure its wire gauge is the same or thicker (lower gauge number) than Tornado’s power cord. A thin cord can cause poor performance, voltage drops, and even fire hazards.
Tip 4: Always Pre-Charge Vehicle Battery
Before starting tasks that require stable voltage—such as:
- Programming
- Key-On-Engine-Off (KOEO) diagnostics
- Module calibration
- Wheel alignment
…make sure the battery is fully charged using the Tornado’s charging function. This step is essential for voltage stability and is a key feature of all Tornado models.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your Tornado T120A operates safely, reliably, and efficiently through every job. It’s built to support professional use—let’s use it the right way!
