COMPLIANCE WITH LAW
The Equipment is designed to dispense windshield washer fluid containing methanol, which is a
volatile organic compound (VOC). The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates
the use of VOCs and specifically limits the amount of methanol that can be used in products.
The Equipment must be used in compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The
EPA has regulated that under no circumstances shall there be more than 35% methanol by weight in
the final product. Please see the following website for more details:

. The concentrate provided by the
manufacturer and distributor must be diluted to comply with federal, state, and local VOC regulations.
For example, California, Arizona, Georgia, Texas and Oregon all have state and/or local laws that
further regulate the amount of methanol that can be in products. Other states may have such laws as
well. The customer is responsible for ensuring that he or she properly dilutes the methanol
concentrate to be in compliance with all federal, state, local laws and regulations.
Although the manufacturer has attempted to ensure that its equipment complies with all federal, state
and local laws and regulations, neither the manufacturer nor the distributor can be responsible for nor
guarantee that the customer will use the equipment in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Therefore, customer agrees that neither the manufacturer nor the distributor shall be held responsible
or liable for the use of this equipment in violation of federal, state and local laws and regulations. In
addition, customer acknowledges and agrees equipment must be properly installed according to federal,
state and local laws and regulations, to include a back-flow preventer on the water line. It is customer’s
the responsibility to comply with federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to proper use
and installation of the equipment.
NOTICE: THE METHANOL BARREL MUST BE GROUNDED
NOTICE: A back-flow preventer in compliance with local
and/or state requirements must be installed on the water
line to bring the unit to safety standards.
