• CO Poisoning: Exhaust from engine contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can cause carbon monoxide
poisoning and possible death if inhaled.
• Injection Injury: High-pressure spray can pierce skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation. Such an injection injury can result in blood poisoning and/or severe tissue damage.
• Flying Debris: High-pressure spray can cause flying debris and possible surface damage.
• Electric shock: Operating equipment in wet conditions or near water can cause electric shock.
• Chemical Exposure: Cleaning chemical vapors or contact with skin may be hazardous.
• Fire/Explosion: Engine sparking can ignite fuel or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity. Hot exhaust from engine
can ignite combustible materials. Always keep a fire extinguisher rated "ABC" nearby.
• Burns: Pressure Washer pump and engine are hot surfaces that can cause burn injuries.
