Detergent is not dispensingThe suction tube located in the detergent spray bottle assembly has been disconnected or clogged.Remove the soap lance assembly from the detergent bottle. Make sure that the clear tube is properly connected to the soap lance. If it is not connected then reconnect it.
Detergent to Water ratioYour Powerwasher draws detergent at a 10:1 ratio. Most pressure washer detergents are generally concentrated within that range so minimal adjustment is required.
If you feel like you are using more detergent than is required for the application you can dilute it with regular tap water.
Detergent - What to useWe recommend that you use a cleaner which is specifically designed for power washers. There are different kinds available depending on the application. Check with your local Home Depot store for the product which is best suited for your needs.
