If you have any problems operating your power washer,
please call Generac customer service at

5.2.1 m Clearances and Air Movement
Running engine gives off carbon monoxide,
an odorless, colorless, poisonous gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause head-
ache, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion,
seizures, nausea, fainting or death. For more
information, reference the CO warnings in the
"Safety" section.
Place power washer outdoors in an area that will not
accumulate deadly exhaust gas. NEVER place power
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. Prevailing
winds and air currents should be taken into consideration
when positioning power washer (Figure 5-1).
• Operate power washer ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area
through windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other
openings.
• NEVER start or run engine indoors, in a vehicle or in
an enclosed area, EVEN if windows and doors are
open.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combus-
tibles, structures or damage fuel tank
causing a fire.
Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of
power washer including overhead.
