Engine Exhaust Gas Caution
(Carbon Monoxide)
WARNING:
Do not breathe exhaust gas because it contains carbon
monoxide, which by itself has no color or odor. Carbon
monoxide is a dangerous gas. It can cause unconsciousness
and can be lethal.
We recommend that the exhaust system be inspected by
competent technician:
•
Each time the machine has an oil change.
•
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust
system.
•
Whenever the exhaust system is damaged or becomes
corroded.
See "Maintenance Schedule" in Section 8 of this manual for
parts requiring inspection.
Do not run the engine in confined areas (such as garages or
next to a building) any more than needed to move the machine
or the equipment.
Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear of snow and other
material to help reduce the buildup of exhaust gases or the
equipment. This is particularly important when parked in
blizzard conditions.
