WARNING POISONOUS GAS HAZARD.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you
in minutes. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell
exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas. Some chemicals
or detergents could be harmful if inhaled or ingested, resulting in death, serious
injury, nausea, fainting or poisoning.
• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to
reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide
alarms with battery backup according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawl spaces, sheds,
or other partially enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and windows
for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces and can linger
for hours, even after this product has shut off.
• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from
occupied spaces. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product, shut
it off and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled
when using chemicals.
• Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will provide the necessary
protection against inhaling harmful vapors when using chemicals.
WARNING Chemical Burn Hazard.
Chemicals could cause burns resulting in death or serious injury.
• DO NOT use caustic liquid with pressure washer.
• Use ONLY pressure washer safe detergents/soaps. Follow all manufacturers
instructions.
