structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

place pressure washer where exhaust gas could
accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a
potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is
kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes
or other openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect
in a confined area (Figure 7). Prevailing winds and air
currents should be taken into consideration when
positioning pressure washer.

Running engine gives off carbon monoxide,
an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
nausea, fainting or death.
• Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through
windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.
• DO NOT operate pressure washer inside any building or
enclosure, even if doors or windows are open.
