Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headache,
fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures,
nausea, fainting or death.
Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if
inhaled or ingested, causing severe nausea,
fainting, or poisoning.
• Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through
windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings.
• DO NOT start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area,
even if windows and doors are open.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that
vapors may be inhaled.
• Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will
provide the necessary protection against inhaling harmful
vapors.
WARNING
Use of pressure washer can create puddles and
slippery surfaces.
Kickback from spray gun can cause you to fall.
• Operate pressure washer from a stable surface.
• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to
reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery surfaces.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from
a ladder, scaffolding, or any other similar location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.

before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure
in tank.
