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 m (3.28 ft) or less in

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.

assembly and strainer assembly and soak it in water.
Then reconnect it to the high-pressure washer.
