RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN | HOW TO PREVENT IT |
•Spilled gasoline and it’s vapors can be- come ignited from cigarette sparks, electrical arcing, exhaust gases, and hot engine components such as the muffler.
•Heat will expand fuel in the tank which could result in spillage and possible fire explosion.
•Operating the pressure washer in an ex- plosive environment could result in a fire.
•Materials placed against or near the pressure washer can interfere with its proper ventilation features causing over- heating and possible ignition of the materials.
•Muffler exhaust heat can damage paint- ed surfaces, melt any material sensitive to heat (such as siding, plastic, rubber, or vinyl), and damage live plants.
•Improperly stored fuel could lead to ac- cidental ignition. Fuel improperly secured could get into the hands of chil- dren or other unqualified persons.
•Use of acids, toxic or corrosive chemi- cals, poisons, insecticides, or any kind of flammable solvent with this product could result in serious injury or death.
•Shut off engine and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank.
•Use care in filling tank to avoid spilling fuel. Move pressure washer away from fueling area before starting engine.
•Keep maximum fuel level ½” below top of tank to allow for expansion.
•Operate and fuel equipment in well ven- tilated areas free from obstructions. Equip areas with fire extinguishers suit- able for gasoline fires.
•Never operate pressure washer in an area containing dry brush or weeds.
•Always keep pressure washer a mini- mum of four feet away from surfaces (such as houses, automobiles, or live plants) that could be damaged from muffler exhaust heat.
•Store fuel in an OSHA approved con- tainer, in a secure location away from work area.
