HAZARD
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE (continued)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•Materials placed against or near the pres- sure washer can interfere with its proper ventilation features causing overheating and possible ignition of the materials.
•Muffler exhaust heat can damage painted surfaces, melt any material sensitive to heat (such as siding, plastic, rubber, or vinyl), and damage live plants.
•Improperly stored fuel could lead to acci- dental ignition. Fuel improperly secured could get into the hands of children or other unqualified persons.
•Use of acids, toxic or corrosive chemicals, poisons, insecticides, or any kind of flam- mable solvent with this product could re- sult in serious injury or death.
•Over inflation of tires could result in serious injury and property damage.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
•Never operate pressure washer in an area containing dry brush or weeds.
•Always keep pressure washer a minimum of four feet away from surfaces (such as houses, automobiles, or live plants) that could be dam- aged from muffler exhaust heat.
•Store fuel in an OSHA approved container, in a secure location away from work area.
•Do not spray flammable liquids.
•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. Add air in small increments and frequently use the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.
