READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE USING PRESSURE WASHER
Serious injury or death may occur
from inhaling engine/burner exhaust
or dangerous vapors. The engine
exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive
harm.
This pressure washer was designed for outdoor
use only. Never operate this pressure washer
in an enclosed area. Always make certain there
is adequate ventilation (fresh outside air) for
breathing and combustion. This will prevent
the buildup of dangerous carbon monoxide
gases. Beware of poorly ventilated areas,
or areas with exhaust fans which can cause
poor air exchange.
Follow all safety instructions provided with the
materials you are spraying. Use of a respirator
may be required when working with some
materials. Do not use this pressure washer
