Engine Maintenance
These topics relate to the operator
maintenance tasks for the engine.
Information provided here is in addition to
information contained in the Engine
Operator Manual supplied with the vehicle.
WARNING
Exhaust fumes from the engine con-
tain carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. DO NOT breathe the en-
gine exhaust gas. A poorly maintained,
damaged, or corroded exhaust system
can allow carbon monoxide to enter
the cab. Entry of carbon monoxide into
the cab is also possible from other ve-
hicles nearby. Failure to properly main-
tain your vehicle could cause carbon
monoxide to enter the cab, resulting in
personal injury or death.
WARNING
NEVER start or let the engine run in
an
enclosed, unventilated area. Ex-
haust fumes from the engine contain
carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Carbon monoxide can
be fatal if inhaled. Failure to comply
may result in property damage, per-
sonal injury, or death.
WARNING
Never idle your vehicle for prolonged
periods
of time if you sense that ex-
haust fumes are entering the cab. In-
vestigate the cause of the fumes and
correct it as soon as possible. If the
vehicle must be driven under these
conditions, drive only with the windows
open. Failure to repair the source of
the exhaust fumes may result in death,
personal injury, equipment or property
damage.
NOTE
Keep the engine exhaust system and
the
vehicle's cab ventilation system
properly maintained. It is recommend-
ed that the vehicle's exhaust system
and cab be inspected (1) By a compe-
tent technician every 15,000 miles
(24,140 km); (2) Whenever a change
is noticed in the sound of the exhaust
system; or (3) Whenever the exhaust
system, underbody, or cab is dam-
aged.
