Section IV. ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEMS
WARNING
Breathing exhaust gases can be fatal. Avoid direct exposure to exhaust gases.
Do not perform maintenance with generator running in an enclosed area such as
tents without adequate ventilation.
4-11. General. The engine exhaust system consists of the exhaust manifold, muffler and pipes to route the gases to
the muffler. Turbocharged engines have the exhaust gases routed through the turbocharger to drive the vanes. Damage
to the muffler or pipes, not including the ducting for the turbocharger drive circuit, is inconvenient but the generator can
still be operated. Care must be taken, however, to keep carbon monoxide away from the operator.
4-12. Exhaust Manifolds, Damaged . Damaged manifolds are indicated by loud noises. Any damage to the exhaust
manifolds upstream of the turbocharger will degrade engine operation. Continued engine operation may set the fuel lines
on fire.
