HOW TO USE YOUR
PRESSURE WASHER
If you have any problems operating your pressure washer,
please call the pressure washer helpline at 1-888-611-6708.
Pressure Washer Location
Pressure Washer Clearance
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
(Figure 8). Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken
into consideration when positioning pressure washer.
