EXHAUST SILENCERS

NOTE
The following information refers
to a single exhaust silencer, but is valid for
both.
WARNING
Avoid parking the vehicle catalytic
version near dry brush wood or in
places easily accessible to children, as
t h e c a t a l y t i c s i l e n c e r b e c o m e s
extremely hot during use; be very
careful and avoid any kind of contact
until it has completely cooled down.
The catalytic vehicle is fitted with a silencer
with metal catalytic converter of the
"platinum-rhodium" two-way type.
This device provides for the oxidation of
the CO (carbon monoxide) and of the HC
(unburned hydrocarbons) contained in the
exhaust gases, changing them into carbon
dioxide and steam, respectively.
