IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Spilled gasoline and it's vapors can be-
come ignited from cigarette sparks,
electrical arcing, exhaust gases, and hot
engine components such as the muffler.
• Heat will expand fuel in the tank which
could result in spillage and possible fire
explosion.
• Operating the pressure washer in an ex-
plosive environment could result in a
fire.
• Materials placed against or near the
pressure washer can interfere with its
proper ventilation features causing over-
heating and possible ignition of the
materials.
• Muffler exhaust heat can damage paint-
ed surfaces, melt any material sensitive
to heat (such as siding, plastic, rubber,
or vinyl), and damage live plants.
