Why is my Karcher Shark HDS 2.0/10 Ed Cage Pressure Washer not drawing detergent?
- RRandall EvansAug 7, 2025
If your Karcher Shark Pressure Washer isn't drawing detergent, there are several possible reasons. Start by checking for air leaks and tighten all clamps, also inspect the detergent lines for any holes. The valve in the injector head may be blocked, dirty, or damaged, so clean or replace it. Also, the filler screen on the detergent suction hose could be plugged, so clean or replace it. If the metering valve is plugged with dried-up detergent, disassemble and clean it thoroughly. If the detergent is too viscous, dilute it. Ensure there are no holes in the detergent lines, and that the detergent level is adequate. Finally, make sure that the discharge water temperature is not above 180° F.
