How do I get the nozzle to spray detergent out of it? The high pressure works great but I can't get the detergent part to work. I lost the owners manual and now I'm confused about it. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank You ,

usually detergent should apply when nozzle is creating low pressure,check if proper nozzle for chemical dispensing normally black in color with a very wide angle spray or see if your nozzle have a push and pull type to create from low and high.
You have to use a low pressure nozzle ( usually black with very large spray opening) With the low pressure nozzle siphons your detergent in with the spray water . If you are using a high pressure nozzle the soap will not prime.
G3000 is not much help. I have a car with an engine, can you help me get parts for it?
In general it is not a good idea to run solvents and cleaners through the pump. It tends to destroy the pressure seals ( people are often creative in what they use as cleaners) To protect the pump there is usually a siphon fitting on the high pressure side of the pump. There is usually a hose that you stick into your detergent. You then put in a large capacity cleaning nozzle and the detergent is sucked up the hose and out the low pressure cleaning nozzle. When you put on the high pressure spray nozzle the siphon valve seals and it does not draw detergent through the hose.
In general, pressure washers will draw detergent from the reservoir only when the spray nozzle is set to low pressure. At high pressure a non-return valve closes to prevent water flowing back in to the reservoir. If you've got the spray nozzle set to low pressure and still have the problem, it may be that the spray nozzle is partially blocked - you can try clearing it with a length of wire. Failing that, the non-return valve is probably stuck (and that may need professional attention).
The first thing to do is check the nozzle setting on your spray lance. The nozzle setting is adjustable (by twisting it) and, if it's set to high pressure, cleaning fluid will not be drawn up from the reservoir. Cleaning fluid will only be drawn from the reservoir when the nozzle is set at low pressure. (Even at the low pressure setting, this problem can occur if you use an extension high-pressure hose.)
You say the machine has never been used, so the nozzle setting is the most likely cause of your problem. Other possible causes are highly unlikely to occur in a new machine. If adjusting the nozzle doesn't help, I suggest you contact the dealer from whom you bought the machine.
I hope this helps. Your feedback is valuable to me so please remember to rate this response.
It will only pick up detergent if you use a low pressure detergent nozzle - or no nozzle at all. It also takes a while for the detergent to get to the nozzle.
