The major exhaust system components are as follows: EXHAUST PIPES – Direct exhaust gases away from vehicle and crew compartment. EXHAUST PIPE SHIELD – Protects personnel from hot exhaust pipes. EXHAUST PIPE CAP – Used in cold weather to prevent exhaust gases from escaping from exhaust pipe. This forces gases through the exhaust pipes beneath the water tank keeping the water from freezing. Gases then exit through rear of vehicle. H G F G F H G F
