You have a little pull out tube ion the front of the karcher...you basically stick that into the tub, or pour some into a smaller vessel like a plastic measuring jug and use that.

Although I wouldnt recommend using that stuff on a car its a bit s**t and pointless.

Im pretty sure they have a Detergent Suction Hose on them??? not 100% though.. best way to find out is to take a screwdriver to it

See the white nipple?? (he he i said nipple). Pull it out. comes out a few inches

Have you turned the gun down to 'mix'? It's basically the lowest pressure setting

 

[richy22]

From memory they dont have adjustable pressures.

Just on or off.

Its s**t by the way dont use it. (the detergent sucker not the PW itself)

Edtt ahhhhh

For less intense cleaning, use the adjustable Vario Power Spray (VPS) Wand. Simply dial up the amount of pressure you wish to use. Twist to the lowest setting to automatically apply detergents such as Karcher's SoapPacs via siphon tube

I see now.

so i put the pressure washer on low to get it to suck?! sorry just dont have the pressure washer in hand to test it

 

[richy22]

Yep the vario lance..the one that looks like this..

Put it on the lowest setting and it should suck. It does work as I tried mine last night.

Oh how stupid of me, i never tried it as i dont have a manual to read thanks a lot
