4.2 Exhaust and Intake Installation

Proper installation of the exhaust and intake pipes is critical for safety and performance:

• Exhaust Pipe: The tail gas must be discharged externally to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Ensure the exhaust pipe is securely fastened and extends away from any living or enclosed spaces.
• Intake Pipe: The intake pipe must be separated from the exhaust pipe to avoid inhaling tail gas. Ensure it is not excessively bent or placed in an upward position.
• Muffler: Install the silencer on the exhaust pipe to reduce noise during operation.

Refer to the diagram below for recommended installation practices. Professional installation is advised.
