Default Karcher 2.99 , help needed

I've had this karcher 2.99 now for a while but and used it as normal with a hose into it , but now I want it to pick up a sampoo from a bucket and well as the hose going into it , it has a tube that pulls out from the front but it does not draw water up when I put it into water

any ideas ?

Ben

Turn the pressure down to minimum and it will pick up with the shampoo feed hose...

Turn the end of the lance so the spray becomes weaker and more spread out, this lowers the pressure and operates the chemical feed...

I think you are not using the right lance,mate..

Vario lance for pressure control, is in the 2.99 M package..

If you're using the Dirtblaster, watch out for the paint to come off...

I see, so that just clips straight into the gun of my karcher yea ?

seems like a cool bit of kit , but the main question is, is it worth it ?
