Breathing carbon monoxide will cause 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 operate pressure washer inside any building or
enclosure.

structures having combustible walls and/or other
combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all around
pressure washer including overhead, for adequate cooling,
maintenance and servicing.
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
