Filling Burner Fuel Tank (if heated water to
be used)
WARNING: Flammability hazard
Burner fuels are highly flammable. Turn the machine off
and allow it to cool for at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap; as a running or still hot burner is hot
enough to ignite fuel.
After Machine Has Cooled:
1. Remove burner fuel cap.
2. Add fuel through the fill opening. Do not overfill.
Allow at least 1/2" of empty space below fill neck
to allow for fuel expansion.
3. Replace fuel cap securely before starting burner.
4. Clean up fuel spills/splashes immediately.
If possible, move the machine away from
•
spilled fuel on the ground.
Wipe up spilled fuel and wait 5 minutes for
•
excess fuel to evaporate before starting
burner.
Fuel soaked rags are flammable and should
•
be disposed of properly.
If fuel is spilled on your skin or clothes,
•
change clothes and wash skin immediately.
5. Store extra fuel in a cool, dry place in an UL-
approved, tightly sealed container.
Step 3. Select Suitable Worksite Guidelines
WARNING: Location hazard
You must choose a suitable site for operating your
pressure washer to avoid equipment damage and/or
injury and possible death from carbon monoxide
poisoning, fire/explosion, uncontrolled equipment
movement/tip over, or slips and falls. While designed
primarily for outdoor usage, this electric powered
pressure washer may be used inside large commercial
buildings if special additional precautions are taken.
See below.
For All Indoor and Outdoor Uses
Placement of the Machine:
Where it will NOT be exposed to rain, snow, or
•
direct sunlight. Exposure to water can cause
electric shock.
Where no flammable vapors, dusts, and gases
•
are present.
At least 7 feet away from combustible materials
•
(when burner used).
Before Each Use
Away from all building windows and air intakes
•
(when burner used).
Away from other heat-generating equipment.
•
Positioning:
The pressure washer should be positioned on a
•
firm, level (less that 3-degree slope), heat
resistance surface with good drainage and a
nearby water supply.
Ensure that the pressure washer sits level and
•
will not slide or shift during operation. If
applicable, block the pressure washer's wheels to
prevent movement. Surface should be heat
resistant if you will be using the burner for heated
spray.
Block wheels to prevent movement.
•
Airflow:
Provide for adequate, unobstructed airflow for
•
cooling and combustion air.
Do not allow debris to accumulate or block
•
airflow.
Do not operate with a tarp, blanket, or cover
•
surrounding the machine.
Do not place any objects against or on top of the
•
unit.
Electrical Precautions:
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all cord
•
connections dry and off the ground.
Do not touch plug with wet hands.
•
For Indoor Hot Water/Burner Use
Exhaust:
Hot fumes from burner must be exhausted
•
through a hood or piped to the outside.
Place the unit so that the exhaust fumes will not
•
be directed towards people or building air intakes.
Precautions:
Keep a fire extinguisher rated "ABC" nearby.
•
Keep it properly charged and be familiar with its
use.
Ensure that working, battery-operated or battery
•
back-up carbon monoxide alarms are used in any
structure that is in close proximity to the running
pressure washer.
