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.

which could cause injury to skin, eyes, or
lungs.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Your washer operates at fluid pressures
and velocities high enough to penetrate
human and animal flesh, which could
result in amputation or other serious injury.
Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or
damaged hoses can result in injection

INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a
physician immediately!
