NOTICE:
Pay attention to the handling of the
container when carrying. Carrying the container
with high pressure washer and accessories or water
inside may cause accident or personal injury due to
its own weight.
NOTICE:
When carrying the container, do not
shake, turnover, or lean it excessively. Doing so
may cause;
— the water inside spilled out;
— the high pressure washer on the lid dropped off
from the container or;
— the rotation of the container's wheels hindered.
NOTICE:
When carrying the container by the
handle, water may spill out if there is plenty of
water inside.
NOTICE:
Water may come out from the air
bleeding hole if the water inside reaches to the air
bleeding hole by tilting the container.
NOTICE:
Do not step on the container. The lid
may be broken.
NOTICE:
Do not leave the container filled with
water for a long time. Doing so may cause the con-
tainer damaged and result in water leakage.
After use, follow the procedure below:
1. Remove the cap on the drain outlet and discharge
water.

Wipe off the moisture inside of the container using
a cloth and then dry the container completely.
