STARTER ASSEMBLY TEST/REPLACE (CONT).
OPERATIONAL CHECK:
Touching exhaust system during test can cause severe burns.
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 engine 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.

system, and batteries. If engine still will not start, refer to troubleshooting guide.
