Exhaust Systems
The4and5kW modelshaveexhaust kits whichinclude
spark arrestor muffler and mounting hardware. See
Figure 6-21,Figure 6-22,andFigure 6-23. Versionsare
designed for installation on vehicles with the
compartment located at floor level while others are
intendedforbelow-floorinstallation.Thesekitsallowthe
exhaust pipe to be routed to either the right side or left
side of the vehicle. Consult the appropriate installation
drawing for specific mounting dimensions.
Because the length varies with most installations, atail
pipe is not furnished with the kits. A tail pipe must,
however, be installed to direct the exhaust gases
beyondtheperimeter of the vehicle. Use atailpipewith
as few gradual bends as possible to avoid excessive
back pressure and face tail pipe away from normal air
stream. To meet CSA standard, maintain a minimum
clearance of 3” between exhaust piping and any
combustible material in compartment or surrounding
exhaust outlet in compartment floor (see Figure 6-19).
