washer including overhead.
Place pressure washer outdoors. DO NOT place pressure
washer where exhaust gas 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 (Figure 9).
Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into
consideration when positioning pressure washer.

odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea,
fainting or death.
