Safety
information
DANGER
If
the
exhaust
pipe
is
blocked
or
ventilation
is
in#j
sufficient,
harmful
exhaust
gases
can
pollute
the
area
in
and
around
the
vehicle
or
enter
into
the
vehicle.
The
exhaust
gases
contain
pollu#j
tants
which
are
colorless
and
odorless.
In
en#j
closed
areas
or
areas
with
insufficient
ventila#j tion,
exhaust
gases
can
also
accumulate
outside
of
the
vehicle.
There
is
danger
to
life.
Keep
the
exhaust
pipe
free
and
ensure
suffi#j
cient
ventilation.

system.
If
combustible
materials,
such
as
leaves
or
grass,
come
in
contact
with
hot
parts
of
the
exhaust
gas
system,
these
materials
