What can happen

•Fuel or oil can leak or spill and could result in fire or breathing hazard. Seri­ous­ inju­ry­ or death can result­. Fuel or oil leaks will damage­ carpet, paint or other­ surfaces in vehi­cles­

or trailers.

How to prevent it

•If pressure washer is equipped with a fuel shut-off valve, turn the valve to the off position before transporting to avoid fuel leaks. If pressure­ washer­ is not equipped with a fuel shut-off valve, drain the fuel from tank before transport­­ ing. Only transport­ fuel in an OSHA-approved container. Always­ place pressure washer on a protective mat when transporting to protect against damage­ to vehicle from leaks. Remove­ pressure­ washer from vehicle immediately upon arrival at your destination.

•Over inflation of tires could result in serious injury and property damage.

•High-velocity fluid spray directed at pneumatic tire sidewalls (such as found on automobiles, trailers and the like) could damage the sidewall resulting in serious injury.

•Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires pressure before each use and while inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire pressure.

NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar equipment used to inflate tires can fill small tires similar to these very rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator on air supply to no more than the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in small increments and frequently use the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.

•On pressure washers rated above 1600 PSI (11032 kPa) use the widest fan spray (40º nozzle) and keep the spray a minimum of 8" (20 cm) from the pneumatic tire sidewall. Do not aim spray directly at the joint between the tire and rim.
