Power Washer Placement for Use
Asphyxiation. Running engines produce
carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless,
poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Risk of Fire. Hot surfaces could ignite
combustibles, resulting in fire. Fire could
result in death or serious injury.
Hot Surfaces. When operating machine, do not
touch hot surfaces. Keep machine away from
combustibles during use. Hot surfaces could
result in severe burns or fire.
It is a violation of California Public Resource
Code, Section 4442, to use or operate the
engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered,
or grass-covered land unless the exhaust sys-
tem is equipped with a spark arrester, as
defined in Section 4442, maintained in effec-
tive working order. Other states or federal
jurisdictions may have similar laws.
Only operate power washer outdoors in a well
ventilated area. Never operate power washer
indoors, or in a confined space. Be aware of
building openings and ventilation systems
where exhaust may enter during use.
• Verify power washer is placed on level
ground to avoid tipping during operation.
