WARNING
Exposure to exhaust gases produces symptoms
of headache, dizziness, loss of muscular con-
trol, drowsiness, or coma. Brain damage or death
can result from severe exposure.
Fumes from engines become concentrated
with poor ventilation.
1. Operate engine in a ventilated area only.
2. Ventilate personnel compartments while
idling engine.
3. While running vehicle, be alert for fumes.
Keep compartments ventilated. 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 DE-
FENSE AGAINST EXHAUST POISONING.
Start engine and check throttle cable assembly for
smooth operation. The cable should work freely and
shall hold a set position.
Inspect the mounting and linkage; tighten if loose.
