Location Warnings
•
The machine must be at or near the working area and always under trained operator
supervision.

build up.

fumes. Be sure ventilation WARNINGS are observed. Keep pressure cleaner away from
flammable materials.
•
Locate the machine so the operator has easy access to the pressure cleaner and its
controls.

not cross traffic areas.
