IMPORTANT: Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected.
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment
produces can cut through skin and its underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation. Spray gun traps high water pressure, even
when engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while
system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, and squeeze spray
gun trigger to release high pressure, every time you stop engine.

POWER WASHER LOCATION

Clearances and Air Movement
Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause headache, fatigue, dizziness,
vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea, fainting or
death. For more information, reference the CO
warnings in the Safety Rules section.
Place power washer outdoors in an area that will not accumulate
deadly exhaust gas. NEVER place power 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. Prevailing
winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when
positioning power washer (Figure 20).
• Operate power washer ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows,
doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings.
• NEVER start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, EVEN IF
windows and doors are open.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles,
structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.
• Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of power washer
including overhead.
