You need to use your black chemical tip if you have a switchable tip system on your wand...if your tip is the big plastic variable nozzle type, it pushes either in or out for low pressure chemical application...also, if you have the variable nozzle...go to a service center and replace it with a Quick disconnect and the switchable tip system...those varinozzles are bad for going bad and not working...Good luck

SOURCE: Gas driven portable pressure washer no longer draws chemicals up

Picks up under low pressure conditions by adjusting wand or changing tip.

SOURCE: soap doesn't dispense

There are different tips, In order for the unit to siphon the soap you need to use the tip that is for detergent. Its basically a tip that does not produce a high pressure it's more or less a soaker. Unit won't siphon under pressure. I hope this answer your question please rate the answer if it was helpful. Good Luck and have a great day. Jeff

SOURCE: Cannot draw soap or cleaning

You first must slide the nozzle forward to the low pressure setting for it to inject any detergent. It will only draw the detergent in low pressure mode. If it still will not draw up the detergent, then the injector may be clogged. It must be throughly flushed with clean water for about 2 minutes after each use, otherwise the detergent will clog the injector. First make sure the filter at the end of the hose is clean. Also clean the orifice at the end of the wand to make sure it is not partially clogged which would prevent it from spraying in low pressure mode. The unit came with a tool for this purpose. Even a small piece of debris will prevent it from entering low pressure mode enough for it to siphon the detergent. If none of this works then more than likely there is dry deterrent clogging the check valve. You will have to remove the part where the plastic low pressure injector hose connects to the pump and clean it out, The ball bearing is more than likely stuck.

Cleaning solution is not being distributed.I am using the the correct tip. What could the problem be?

Soap enters the water stream when pressure within the system is low enough to cause slight suction and there are no air entering soap injector hose. If the soap injector is clogged with soap/ debris, clean and reinstall hose. Inside soap injector is a spring and check-ball (ball can become stuck). Some injectors are adjustable (try adjusting). Most factory injectors do not adjust and work only under ideal conditions (soap must be thin like water not thick like dishwashing liquid). Consider adding an aftermarket injector that installs between the discharge hose and pump (not expensive).

Water is coming out of the drawer when in a cycle and leaking on the floor

g'day, water fills up drum via soap draw. this is how the soap mixes with water and enters the drum. U might need to check hose clumps and hoses that enter onto the back of draw (you'll need to access the top of machine when machine is unplugged). Also be sure to clean draw as soap can build up causing problems. Be sure draw is closing properly. Hope this helps. Let us know how u get on.

It will not **** in cleaner soap

Your heading is for chain saws but going by your problem I'll assume you are having problems with your pressure washer. The most likely reason your washer won't draw the soap into the water stream is you are using one of the high pressure tips, usually red, white or yellow. The only way the soap system will work is if you use the low pressure, soap tip which is black. Another thing to check is the soap line and pickup filter to make sure they are clear and allow the solution to be picked up.

My pressure washer will not pump the soap, when you take the pipe loose from the handle it pumps out when you hook it back to the handle it quites pumping

Most pressure washers introduce soap into stream of water by the siphon method. In order for the system to siphon the pressure tip must be changed to one with large opening. Once the large tip is install, the fast moving low pressure water thru the hose and wand will draw-in soap. With the pressure tip installed soap will not be drawn-in. To spray soap and water under pressure use a large container (larger the better like clean 30 gallon trashcan) and fill with clean water and measure of liquid detergent. Use short water hose from with-in container and connect to pressure washer as normal. Keep checking water level so that washer will not run dry. Most pressue washers will **** water in quickly from container, however you can pre-fill the water hose with water to speed things up. Trailer mounted pressure washers use a very large container for water. You can estimate how log the pressure washer will take to use the water by checking the gallons per minute rating of your machine. Good luck

The motor works fine , no pressure out of hte hose, could it be the hose or pump, how do I trouble shoot. Also, how do I draw soap from a bottle to shoot out of the washer onto the house?

Since you did not mention the pump brand or type. I will just assume it to be a pressure washer, complete
with gun. The pump comes two suction hoses. One for the water supply and one for the soap bottle or pail There is pressure adjuster right at the pump near where the hose is connected. You can adjust to higher pressure by turning it clockwise. You can adjust the nozzle spray pattern by turning it. However, if your pump comes with only one set of suction hose. Then, it is designed to get the water
supply from the faucet with hose bib. The only one
set of hose is for the soap bottle or pail. It will **** the soap once the nozzle spray is opened.

Ryobi 3000 psi pressure washer detergent injector

Most detergent injectors work by the venturi system. That is that the detergent is drawn into the stream by the forward flow of the water thru a very narrow port after the water passes thru the pump. This system works best when the pressure at the tip of the wand is low. Trying using a very large tip to draw in and apply the detergent, then remove injector and rinse with high pressure. Not good for the pump but to apply soap reliably under high pressure the soap needs to be injected through the intake of the pump. enjoy
