^ DANGER
Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.
Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through
windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.
DO NOT operate pressure washer inside any building or
enclosure.
The pressure washer must be at least 5 ft. (152 cm)
from structures having combustible walls and/or other
combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all
around pressure washer including overhead, for
adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.
Place pressure washer in a well ventilated area, which
will allow for removal of deadly exhaust gas. 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. Prevailing winds and air
currents should be taken into consideration when
positioning pressure washer.
To Start Your Pressure Washer
To start your engine-powered pressure washer for the
first time, follow these instructions step-by-step. This
starting information also applies whenever you start
the engine after you have let the pressure washer sit
idle for at least a day.
1. Place pressure washer near an outside water
source capable of supplying water at a flow rate
greater than 3.5 gallons per minute and no less than
20 PSI at pressure washer end of garden hose.

to spray gun and pump. See “Assembling Your
Pressure Washer” for illustrations.
