On starting, make sure that the engine is as hori-
zontal as possible and observe the following steps
in running this pressure washer:
a.
become familiar with how to stop the engine;
b.
never start the engine in a closed space or
where there is insufficient ventilation. Combus-
tion creates carbon monoxide, an odorless and
highly poisonous gas. Lengthy stays in places
where the engine freely exhausts this gas can
lead to unconsciousness and death;
c.
do not operate machine in places containing
flammable materials, in explosive atmospheres,
or where there is dust that can easily catch fire
unless specific, adequate and clearly indicated
precautions have been taken and have been
certified for the machine.
d.
to prevent fire hazards, always keep the
machine at least one meter from buildings or
other machinery;
e.
fuel is flammable. The tank must only be filled
when the engine is off. Thoroughly dry any
spilled fuel and move the fuel container and any
rags soaked in fuel or oil. Make sure that the
ground or floor on which the machine is
standing has not soaked up any fuel or oil;
f.
fully tighten the tank cap each time after refuel-
ing. Do not fill the tank to the top, but leave an
adequate space for the fuel to expand;
g.
fuel vapor is highly toxic. Only refuel outdoors
or in a well ventilated place;
