Useful Tips - Makita BVF104 Instruction Manual

• In particular, when storing during the winter season,
breakdown or damage may occur due to freezing of
residual chemical and/or washing water in the pump.
Run the pump until all residual liquid has exited from
the nozzle, check to make sure there is no more
residual liquid, turn the sprayer switch OFF, and then
store the sprayer away.
CAUTION:
Store the Sprayer out of reach of children, in an
indoor locale that does not freeze, is away from direct
sunlight, and has good ventilation.
- Take full care in storing the sprayer, as, in some cases,
the plastic components will deteriorate markedly if left
in direct sunlight for a prolonged period; moreover,
product caution labels will discolor and/or come off.

What to do if you think there is a

Makita replacement parts.
