HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
• 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.
• Shut off engine and allow it to cool
before adding fuel to the tank.
• Use care in filling tank to avoid spilling
fuel. Move pressure washer away from
fueling area before starting engine.
• Keep maximum fuel level ½” below top
of tank to allow for expansion.
• Always keep pressure washer a mini-
mum of four feet away from surfaces
(such as houses, automobiles, or live
plants) that could be damaged from
muffler exhaust heat.
• Operate and fuel equipment in well ven-
tilated areas free from obstructions.
Equip areas with fire extinguishers suit-
able for gasoline fires.
• Never operate pressure washer in an
area containing dry brush or weeds.
