erty damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from
ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke
while adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.
When adding gas to the pressure washer, make sure the unit
is sitting on a flat, level surface and that the engine is not
hot. If the engine is hot, let the pressure washer cool before
adding gas. ALWAYS fill the fuel tank outdoors.
