Pressure Washer Location

Clearances and Air Movement

WARNING

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

Keep at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) clearance on all sides of pressure washer including overhead.

Place pressure washer outdoors in an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place pressure washer where exhaust gas (A) could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area. Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when positioning pressure washer.

WARNING

Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headache, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea, fainting or death.

Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.

Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings.

DO NOT start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, even if windows and doors are open.
