IMPORTANT! If you loan, rent, or sell this machine,
be sure to include all instructional materials with the
unit.
DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an
engine indoors can kill you in minutes.
Engine/burner exhaust contains high
levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a
poisonous gas you cannot see or smell.
You may be breathing CO even if you do
not smell engine exhaust.
• NEVER use an engine or oil burner inside
homes, garages, crawlspaces or other partly
enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a
fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air.
• ONLY use outdoors and far away from open
windows, doors and vents. These openings
can pull in engine exhaust. Never operate the
pressure washer in or near a location occupied
by humans or animals.
• Even when the engine is used correctly, CO
may leak into your home. ALWAYS use a
battery-powered or battery backup CO alarm
in your house. Read and follow all directions
for CO alarm before using. If you feel sick,
dizzy or weak at anytime, move to fresh air
immediately. See a doctor. You could have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
