Warning

• Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a

colorless, odorless gas which is fatal when
inhaled in a confined area. Avoid breathing
exhaust fumes and be sure engine operation
will not cause a concentration of toxic
emissions.

• Exhaust system components get very hot

and can cause severe burns.

The exhaust system, Fig. 8B.43 and 8B.44, is
supported by the engine to minimize the transfer of
noise and vibration into the operators cab. The tail
pipe on current forklifts is directed to the right side
of the forklift which is more remote from the opera-
tors cab.

Annoying rattles and noise vibrations in the exhaust
system are usually caused by misalignment of
parts. When aligning the system, leave all bolts or
nuts loose until all parts are properly aligned, then
tighten working from front to rear.

Whenever you replace a muffler you should also
replace the tail pipe.

Use Exhaust System Sealer at all slip joint connec-
tions before assembly.

When installing exhaust parts, make sure there is
sufficient clearance between the hot exhaust parts,
pipes, hoses and wiring that would be adversely
affected by excessive heat.

When installing an exhaust system be careful to
provide for expansion when the system is hot.

Check complete exhaust system for broken,
damaged, missing or mispositioned parts, open
seams, holes, loose connections, and other dete-
rioration which could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the operators cab. Any damaged areas must
be corrected immediately.

Periodic maintenance of the exhaust system is not
required; however, it is advisable to check the
condition of the system when performing other
maintenance on the forklift.
