0B-12 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Exhaust system (Item 1.9)
Inspection
• Check the worthiness of the elastic supports (1) just in
case there were any problems.
• Check for any leaks, significant dents, loose couplings or
damages.
• Check the areas around the exhaust system looking for
damaged or badly fitted pieces, weldings or open unions,
holes or other defects leading to eventual inlet of gases
inside of the vehicle.
• Be sure there are no frictions or rubbings of the exhaust
system with other pieces and that the distances are kept
right.
• If there are defects, prompt action should be taken as soon
as possible.
NOTE:
Wider information about the exhaust system can be
found in section 6K-1 "EXHAUST SYSTEM".

Visual Control (Item 1.10)
Inspection
• Check the worthiness of the sleeves and pipes just in case
they present damages, leaks, fissures or deformations.
• Check the worthiness of braces and unions; ensuring they
are tightly fit.
• Replace pipes, sleeves or braces showing working
deficiencies or those looking inadequate to avoid sudden
failures.
