How to get soap to come out of dispenser of mcculloch power washer fhh 18a

Hello Jerry,

Actually you can go to the manufacturers website, click on parts and accessories and search for your specific items. If this is not successful, then send an inquiry to them directly. Manuals may also be downloaded.

Otherwise, your local authorized service center should be of assistance.

check that other brands do not have the same fittings as they may be cheaper or available on e-bay if oem is too expensive

You may contact the manufacturer, download manuals, check fuel/oil ratios, order parts, find your local service center, and view other resources using these links:

I trust this information proves beneficial.

There should be a 1/4" hose nipple on the pump which will connect to the soap dispenser with a 1/4" line.

I have a SIMONIZ S2000 electric. I bought the unit about 8 weeks ago used it once. On the second use yesterday the unit didn't work as well, the pressure seemed only a bit better than hose pressure and soap did not dispense at any pressure. SO.... after much thought I turned the hose/tap pressure down so that I only got about 2-3 GPM instead of the typical 5-6GPM normally coming out of my hose....... it worked! Soap dispenses and spay is way better! It seems that if if the inlet hose pressure is high the pump doesn't work as well... go figure.

Also, be sure the cap is turned to the direction that lets the soap in. It has a gradation on it and if it is turned all the way to the smallest (cap fully closed) very little soap will be injected into the stream.

Not sure about the McCulloch , but most pressure washers will only draw the soap in low pressure mode. either turn or pull the nosel on the end of the lance to switch to low pressure. I hope this helps.

I had a Karcher water sprayer that did the same thing , the repair man told me it could be repaired IF he could get parts , guess what, he COULDNT get parts so i had to buy another one , the answer to your question is yes they can be fixed provided you take it somewhere that can get parts . hope this helps

ps i could have fixed it myself with the right part, its not a hard job to strip it and rebuild it

Hi,

I had the same problem on the same unit. All you need to do is pull out the front tip of the gun nozzle to engage the soap dispenser. It's as simple as that, but because there is only a tiny footprint mention of this in the instructions, it turns out to be a long drawn out problem for many of us. Hope this helps.

You have to use the SOAP nozzle (Black Tip)  It is a low pressure nozzle.  The venturi effect prevents the psiphon under high pressure
