Whenever you replace a muffler you should also
replace the tail pipe.
Use Exhaust System Sealer at all slip joint con-
nections before assembly.
When installing exhaust parts, make sure there is
sufficient clearance between the hot exhaust
parts, pipes, hoses, and wiring that would be
adversely affected by excessive heat.
When installing an exhaust system be careful to
provide for expansion when the system is hot.
Check complete exhaust system for broken,
damaged, missing or mispositioned parts, open
seams, holes, loose connections, and other
deterioration which could permit exhaust fumes to
seep into the operators cab. Any damaged areas
must be corrected immediately.
Periodic maintenance of the exhaust system is not
required; however, it is advisable to check the
condition of the system when performing other
maintenance on the forklift.

SYSTEM
• Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless gas which is fatal when
inhaled in a confined area. Avoid breathing
exhaust fumes and be sure engine operation
will not cause a concentration of toxic
emissions.
• Exhaust system components get very hot
and can cause severe burns.
The exhaust system, Fig. 30 and 31, is supported
by the engine to minimize the transfer of noise and
vibration into the operators cab. The tail pipe on
current forklifts is directed to the right side of the
forklift, which is more remote from the operators
cab.
Annoying rattles and noise vibrations in the
exhaust system are usually caused by misalign-
ment of parts. When aligning the system, leave all
bolts or nuts loose until all parts are properly
aligned, then tighten, working from front to rear.
