Working with Detergent

Karcher Pressure washers operate at two pressures. The high pressure setting is used for cleaning, you cannot apply detergents when working at high pressure. To apply detergents you must be operating at low pressure.

Step 1 Install the Wash brush or the Vario spray wand. Set the Vario spray wand to the low pressure setting (-) by turning the wand collar. The wand must be set in the low pressure (-) position to apply detergents.

Step 2 Fill a container with Karcher detergent. Place the filter end of detergent suction tube into the container.
