8. As much of the exhaust piping as possible should be located near the power ventilation
exhaust. This will reduce the radiant exhaust heat inside the building.
9. Keep all fuel and its associated piping away from all components of the engine exhaust
system.
10. After the exhaust system is installed it should be inspected on a regular basis to assure
there are no toxic exhaust gas leaks. In some areas this inspection may be provided by
your local public service.
11. A carbon monoxide tester may be installed to detect the presence of the deadly gas
during times when you are in the building with the engine running (during testing or
maintenance).
WARNING: Never allow the exhaust outlet to be positioned so that the exhaust gases are directed
towards any openings or air entry routes (doors, windows, vents, etc...) of an occupied
building. When discharging the hot exhaust gases out of the building do not direct them
towards anything that could catch fire or explode.
WARNING: Exhaust fumes/gases are extremely dangerous and can cause severe illness or death. Never
breath exhaust fumes produced by a running engine. Only run the engine outdoors where
ventilation is plentiful. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and
extremely dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness or death. Symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning include: dizziness, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, vomiting or
incoherence. If you or anyone else experiences these symptoms, get out into fresh air
immediately. Stop the engine and do not restart the engine until it has been inspected and if
necessary repaired or reinstalled in a well ventilated area.
