Warning
If the engine has recently been running,
the exhaust system will be hot. Before
working on or near the exhaust system,
allow sufficient time for the exhaust system
to cool as touching any part of a hot
exhaust system could cause burn injuries.
Caution
Raising the engine speed above idle,
before the oil reaches all parts of the
engine can cause engine damage or
seizure. Only raise engine speed after
running the engine for 30 seconds to allow
the oil to circulate fully.
