Initial Set-Up
3. Keep a fire extinguisher rated "ABC" nearby.
Keep it properly charged and be familiar with its
use.
4. Place the unit so that the exhaust fumes will not
be directed towards people or building air
intakes.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide hazard
Exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see,
smell, or taste. The CO generated by the engine can
rapidly accumulate, even in areas that appear to be well
ventilated, resulting in dangerous and fatal
concentrations within minutes. NEVER run pressure
washer inside any enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces,
including homes, garages, basements, sheds, boxes,
pick-up truck beds, RVs, or boats. These spaces can
trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open
windows. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while
using the pressure washer, shut off the engine and get
to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Install Spark Arrestor (if Required)
Equip engine with spark arrestor if machine will be
used near any ignitable forest, brush, or grassy
land. (See engine Owner’s Manual provided to
determine if the engine is already equipped.) Make
sure you comply with applicable local, state, and
federal codes.
