EXHAUST SYSTEM
WARNING
Carbon monoxide.
Can cause severe nausea, fainting, or death.
The exhaust system must be leakproof and
routinely inspected.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Install exhaust system tail pipe so
discharged exhaust gases will not be drawn into vehicle
interior through windows, doors, air conditioners, etc.
Do not use flexible tail piping since this type could crack
and allow lethal exhaust fumes to enter the vehicle.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Never operate the generator set
inside a building unless the exhaust gas is piped safely
outside. Never operate in any area where exhaust gas
could accumulate and seep back inside an occupied
building or vehicle. Be careful when parking the vehicle
to avoid obstructing the exhaust outlet. The exhaust
gases must discharge freely, otherwise carbon
monoxide may deflect into the vehicle. Avoid breathing
exhaust fumes when working on or near the generator
set. Carbon monoxide is particularly dangerous
because it is an odorless, colorless, tasteless,
nonirritating gas that can cause death if inhaled for even
a short period of time.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Diesel fumes can rapidly destroy
copper tubing in diesel exhaust systems. Do not use
copper tubing in diesel exhaust systems.
sulphur will cause rapid deterioration and this could
result in exhaust leakage.
