CAUTION:
When attaching the sleeve to the
filter case, be careful not to hurt your hand by the
hose band.
NOTICE:
Always use Makita's hose assembly
and strainer assembly.
NOTICE:
Always keep 1.0 m (3.28 ft) or less in
height between the inlet of the high pressure
washer and the water surface. Otherwise, the high
pressure washer will be unable to take the water up
into the pump.
To introduce water into the hose, remove the nozzle
from the trigger gun and switch on the high pressure
washer while the trigger is squeezed. Once water is
ejected stably from the trigger gun, release the trigger
and attach the nozzle for your purpose.
► Fig.13: 1. Trigger gun
NOTE: When water is not ejected, detach the hose
assembly and strainer assembly and soak it in water.
Then reconnect it to the high-pressure washer.

NOTE: If water suction does not work, it takes a long
time, or the water pressure is not enough, check the
following:
• Loosening of the hose assembly, strainer
assembly, and water hose connector.
• Coupling sleeves of the hose assembly are
firmly attached onto the water hose connector
and filter case of the strainer assembly.
Tighten if they are loose.
