2-28. REPLACE/REPAIR EXHAUST SYSTEM (Continued)
OPERATIONAL CHECK:
WARNING
Touching exhaust system during test can cause severe burns.
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 ventilation. Operate engine in a ventilated
area only.
While running engine, be alert for fumes. 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.
Start engine and observe exhaust elbow, spark arrestor, exhaust pipe, muffler, exhaust elbow flange, and turbine elbow
for leaks and/or looseness or rattles. Tighten screws, clamps, and bands as necessary.
