  Several factors can prevent your Makita Pressure Washer from reaching working pressure. Here's what to check: * A worn nozzle may be the issue; consider replacing it. * A fouled water filter can be cleaned. * Ensure the water supply is fully turned on. * Check hose fittings for tightness to prevent air from being sucked into the system. * If there's air in the pump, switch off the appliance, repeatedly depress and release the gun trigger until water flows steadily, then switch the appliance back on. * Verify the adjustable nozzle is correctly positioned by turning it. * If the thermostatic valve tripped, wait for the correct water temperature to restore.
