Place pressure washer in a well ventilated area, which will allow for removal of deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place pressure washer where exhaust gas 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 (Figure 10). Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when positioning pressure washer.
