from structures having combustible walls and/or other
combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all

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.
