WARNING!
Exhaust fumes from the engine con-
tain carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odor less gas. Do not breathe the
engine exhaust gas. A poorly main
-
tained, damaged or corroded exhaust
system can allow carbon monoxide to
enter the cab. Entry of carbon monox
-
ide into the cab is also possible from
other vehicles nearby. Failure to prop
-
erly maintain your vehicle could cause
carbon monoxide to enter the cab and
cause death or personal injury.
WARNING!
Never idle your vehicle for prolonged
periods of time if you sense that ex
-
haust fumes are entering the cab. In-
vestigate the cause of the fumes and
correct it as soon as possible. If the ve
-
hicle must be driven under these con-
ditions, drive only with the windows
open. Failure to repair the source of
the exhaust fumes may result in death,
personal injury, equipment or property
damage.
NOTE
Keep the engine exhaust system and
the vehicles cab ventilation system
properly maintained. It is recom
-
mended that the vehicles exhaust
system and cab be inspected:
• By a competent technician every
15,000 miles,
• Whenever a
change is noticed in
the sound of the exhaust system,
• Whenever the
exhaust system,
underbody or cab is damaged.
