Step 2 Fill the detergent reservoir with Kärcher detergent. Place the filter end of detergent suction tube into the detergent reservoir
Step 3 Turn on the pressure washer. Pull trigger to operate unit: Liquid detergent is drawn into the unit and mixed with water. Apply detergent to work area. Do not allow detergent to dry on surface
