inside an enclosure. This could cause hot air deflection, heat build-up, and increased exhaust back-pressure,
resulting in exhaust leakage or overheating and damage to the pressure washer.
Stay Away from
Combustible Dust, Liquids
or Vapors
Do not locate and use the pressure washer in the presence of flammable vapors, dust, gases, or other
potentially combustible materials.
The burner is an open flame, which can ignite airborne dusts and flammable vapors. Operate only where open
flames and torches are permitted.
Be Sure to Have Adequate
Airflow
The pressure washer needs adequate, unobstructed flow of air to allow for proper combustion and
adequate cooling.
Proper combustion can only be obtained when there is enough supply of oxygen available for the amount of fuel
being burned. Cooling ventilation is required to prevent overheating of the pressure washer and fire.
• Situate so there is adequate clearance around pressure washer to allow for airflow – at least 7 feet from any
non-combustible wall or obstruction.
• Never place any objects against or on top of the pressure washer.
• Do not operate with a tarp, blanket, or cover surrounding the pressure washer.
Have Clearance for Hot
Exhaust
The exhaust gas from your pressure washer is extremely hot and can cause combustible materials to catch
on fire.
• Make sure both the engine exhaust and burner exhaust are at least 7 feet from all combustible materials and
buildings/structures during operation.
• Equip the engine with a spark arrestor if the pressure washer will be used near any ignitable forest, brush, or
grassy land. (See the engine’s owner’s manual provided with this equipment to determine if the engine is
already equipped.) Make sure you comply with applicable local, state, and federal codes.
• Keep a fire extinguisher rated "ABC" nearby. Keep it properly charged and be familiar with its use.
Have a Firm, Level Heat-
Resistant Surface
The pressure washer should be positioned on a firm, level (less that 3-degree slope), heat-resistant surface
with good drainage.
Ensure that the pressure washer sites level and will not slide or shift during operation. If applicable, block the
pressure washer’s wheel to prevent movement. Surface should be heat-resistant if you will be using the burner for
heated spray.
