WARNING
Serious injury or death may occur from inhaling burner
exhaust or dangerous vapors.
• Installation of this unit including the ventilation of the combustion
gases must comply with all local, state and national codes. (Standards
to be followed include the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA No. 54. In Canada; Refer to the CSA B149.1 Gas Installation
Code).
• 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.
• If you smell gas, shut off the gas supply to the appliance, extinguish
any open flame, and test all joints with a soap solution. If the odor
persists, call you gas supplier immediately.
• 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 to dispense
hazardous materials.

engine, muffler or heat exchanger. These areas can
remain hot for some time after the pressure washer is
shutdown.

muffler or heat exchanger.
WARNING
Serious injury may occur to the operator from moving
parts on the pressure washer.
• Do not operate the unit without all protective covers in place or make
any adjustments without shutting off the pressure washer, relieving
pressure and disconnecting the pressure washer from the power
source. Allow pressure washer to cool down. Never assume the
pressure washer is safe to work on just because it is not operating. It
could restart at any time!
