PROMPT EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Seek medical aid for suspected injection injury. If injured by high-pressure fluid, no matter how small the
wound is, see a doctor at once. A typical injection injury may be a small puncture wound that does not look
serious. However, severe infection or reaction can result if proper medical treatment is not administered
immediately by a doctor who is familiar with injection injuries.
Seek medical aid for suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. The running engine gives off carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you. 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.
