inside RVs or other vehicles, on boats, or on
pick-up truck beds.
7. WARNING: Location hazards
Choose a suitable site for operating your pressure
washer to prevent possible death from carbon monoxide
poisoning or injury from fire/explosion, hot surfaces or
equipment tip-over.
Positioning :
1. The pressure washer should be positioned on a
firm, level (less than 3 degree slope), heat-
resistant surface with good drainage and a
nearby water supply.
2. The pressure washer should be placed within
garden hose distance of a continuous water
supply. Ensure that the pressure washer sits
level and will not slide or shift during operation.
If applicable, block the pressure washer's
wheels to prevent movement.
3. Situate so there is adequate pulling room for
starting the engine using the recoil starter.
Attempting to pull at an odd angle could rip off
grip cord and/or cause muscular injuries to the
operator.
Airflow :
1. Situate so there is adequate clearance around
pressure washer to allow for airflow – at least 7
feet from any non-combustible wall or
obstruction.
2. Do not operate with a tarp, blanket, or cover
surrounding the machine.
3. Do not place any objects against or on top of
the unit.
4. The pressure washer needs adequate,
unobstructed flow of air to allow for proper
combustion and adequate cooling.
Proper
combustion can only be obtained when there is
a sufficient supply of oxygen available for the
amount of fuel being burned. Cooling
ventilation is required to prevent overheating of
the pressure washer and possible fire.
Exhaust
:
WARNING: Exhaust Modification hazard
Never attempt to attach ductwork to the muffler system
to allow for installation inside an enclosure. This could
cause heat build-up and increased exhaust back-
pressure, resulting in possible exhaust leakage or
damage to the pressure washer.
1. The exhaust gas from your pressure washer is
extremely hot and can cause combustible
materials to catch on fire.
2. Make sure the engine is at least 7 feet from all
combustible materials and structures during
operation.
3. Keep a fire extinguisher rated "ABC" nearby.
Keep it properly charged and be familiar with its
use.
4. Place the unit so that the exhaust fumes will not
be directed towards people or building air
intakes.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide hazard
Exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see,
smell, or taste. The CO generated by the engine can
rapidly accumulate, even in areas that appear to be well
ventilated, resulting in dangerous and fatal
concentrations within minutes. NEVER run pressure
washer inside any enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces,
including homes, garages, basements, sheds, boxes,
pick-up truck beds, RVs, or boats. These spaces can
trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open
windows. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while
using the pressure washer, shut off the engine and get
to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Install Spark Arrestor (if Required)
Equip engine with spark arrestor if machine will be
used near any ignitable forest, brush, or grassy
land. (See engine Owner’s Manual provided to
determine if the engine is already equipped.) Make
sure you comply with applicable local, state, and
federal codes.
