Exhaust System
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly main-
tained engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the
exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be
detected inside the vehicle, or when the under-
side or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent technician inspect the complete ex-
haust system and adjacent body areas for broken,
damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections could permit
exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger com-
partment. In addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil
change. Replace as required.
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and
odorless. Breathing it can make you uncon-
scious and can eventually poison you. To avoid
breathing carbon monoxide (CO), follow the
preceding safety tips.
Cooling System
Inspection
WARNING!
When working near the radiator cooling fan, turn
the ignition switch to the OFF position. The fan
is temperature controlled and can start at any
time when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
coolant or steam from your radiator. If you see or
hear steam coming from under the hood, don’t
open the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a coolant pressure cap
when the radiator is hot.
Coolant Checks
Coolant protection checks should be made every
12 months (prior to the onset of freezing weather,
where applicable). If the coolant is dirty or rusty in
appearance, the system should be drained,
flushed and refilled with fresh coolant. Check the
front of the radiator for any accumulation of bugs,
leaves, etc. If dirty, clean the radiator core by
gently spraying water from a garden hose at the
back side of the radiator core.
Check the coolant recovery bottle tubing for brittle
rubber, cracking, tears, cuts and tightness of the
connection at the bottle and radiator. Inspect the
entire system for leaks.
With the engine at normal operating temperature
(but not running), check the coolant pressure cap
for proper vacuum sealing by draining a small
amount of coolant from the radiator drain cock. If
the cap is sealing properly, the coolant will begin
to drain from the coolant recovery bottle. DO NOT
REMOVE THE COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN
THE COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.
