1. DESCRIPTION
The muffler is rubber mounted on the vehicle frame. This feature reduces the transmission of vibrations to
the muffler thus resulting in extended life of muffler, brackets and other components.
2. MAINTENANCE
The exhaust system should be inspected periodically for restrictions and leaks. The exhaust systems are
shown on figures 1 & 2 (fig. 1 = W0 & WE and fig. 2 = W5). Restrictions such as kinked or crimped pipes
result in excessive back pressure that can lead to increased fuel consumption, power loss, and possible
damage to engine combustion chamber components. Exhaust leaks are commonly the result of loose clamp
bolts, corroded pipes, or a punctured muffler. In addition to objectionable noise, a leaking exhaust system
could allow toxic gases to enter the vehicle. Inspect the exhaust system as follows:
* At vehicle inspection intervals ;
* Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system ; and
* Whenever the exhaust system is damaged.
Replace damaged or corroded exhaust system components without delay.
When operating the engine in a service garage or in a closed area, the exhaust must be vented to the
outside. Place the shop vent hose over the exhaust outlet pipe.
DANGER
Avoid breathing exhaust gases since they contain carbon monoxide which is odorless and colorless but
harmful. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness and can be lethal. If, at
any time you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, locate and correct the cause(s) as soon
as possible.
