6. EXHAUST SYSTEM
EXHAUST SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
Carbon Monoxide
The best protection against carbon monoxide poisoning is a daily inspection of the complete exhaust system. Check for leaks
around manifolds, gaskets and welds. Make sure exhaust lines are not heating surrounding areas excessively. If excessive
heat is present, correct the situation immediately. If you notice a change in the sound or appearance of the exhaust system,
shut down the unit immediately and have the system inspect and repaired at once by a qualified mechanic.
WARNING: Exhaust gasses contain Carbon Monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas.
Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death.
Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide exposure can include:
- Dizziness;
- Throbbing in Temples;
- Nausea
- Muscular Twitching;
- Headache;
- Weakness and Sleepiness;
- Vomiting; - Inability to Think Coherently.
IF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS GET OUT INTO THE FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Shut down the unit and do not restart unit until it has been inspected
and repaired.
Insulation
Inspect insulated portions of the exhaust system to ensure there is no deterioration of the insulation.
Overcranking
CAUTION: prolonged cranking intervals without
the engine starting can result in the engine exhaust
system filling with raw water. This may happen
because the pump is pumping raw water through
the raw water cooling system during cranking. This
raw water can enter the engine's cylinder once the
exhaust system fills. Prevent this from happening by
closing the raw supply through-hull shutoff, draining
the exhaust muffler, and correcting the cause of the
excessive engine cranking. Remember that engine
damage resulting from raw water entry is
not covered by warranty.
