  Thomas RichardJul 27, 2025
  If your Makita Pressure Washer has no water jet or a weak one, consider the following: * No water supply: Ensure the faucet is fully open. If using a suction hose, prime it with water first. * Poor water supply: Make sure the faucet is turned on completely. * Poor water hose connection: Verify the connection between the water hose, the faucet, and the washer's inlet. * Clogged components: Unclog the hose, filter, or nozzle to ensure free water flow. * Air blockage: Turn the switch off, then on again while squeezing the trigger to release trapped air. * Damaged nozzle: Replace the nozzle if it's damaged or worn.

  An unstable water jet from your Makita Pressure Washer could be due to: * A clogged nozzle: Use the cleaner pin to unclog the ejection hole of the nozzle. * Poor water suction: Check the water hose for leaks or clogs, starting from the faucet. Ensure the faucet is fully open. * Overheated water: Supply cooler water to the pressure washer.
