Pressure Washer Location
Pressure Washer Clearance
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles,
structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.
• Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of pressure
washer including overhead.
Place pressure washer outdoors in an area that will not
accumulate deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place pressure
washer where exhaust gas (A) 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
pressure washer.
Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headache,
fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures,
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 start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area,
even if windows and doors are open.
