2-4. OPERATING PROCEDURE (Continued)
b. Priming Centrifugal Pump.
CARBON MONOXIDE (EXHAUST GAS) CAN KILL YOU
Exposure to exhaust gases produces symptoms of headache,
dizziness, loss of muscular control, drowsiness, or coma.
Brain damage or death can result from severe exposure.
Fumes from engines become concentrated with poor ventila-
tion. Operate engine in a ventilated area only.
While running engine, be alert for fumes. Keep area venti-
lated. If someone is overcome, expose to fresh air; keep
warm and still; give artificial respiration if needed. Seek
medical attention. Administer oxygen, if available.
GOOD VENTILATION IS THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST
EXHAUST POISONING.
(1) Remove pipe plug (1) from priming port (2).
(2) Pour water into priming port to fill volute (3).
