How do I get the soap washing option to work. Ryobi Hugh Pressure RPW140-g.
I have read the manual twice but the instructions are incomplete.
Purchased today, but I’m not happy with the failure of the soap option.

Set the nozzle to low pressure takes a few seconds for liquid to come through.

We bought the RPW 140-G and the straight brush attachment. Used it to wash the car but the brush constantly swivels. Very awkward to try to operate and keep the brush from turning and scratching the duco. Is it supposed to swivel?

Sorry Wendy, I cannot answer this question as I have not purchased or used the straight brush attachment for this washer.

I'm also sorry Wendy but I've no experience or knowledge of this attachment. I do wish you well and how that someone can give you the answers you need.



Yours sincerely

I want to move from Karcher to Ryobi - will Karcher accessories fit the Ryobi machines?

I don't think all of them will, I can't be absolutely sure of this because I've never owned a karcher. The ryobi uses standard M22 screw in, hose fittings on the machine end which I think karcher also use but I think on the wand/lance/gun end of the hose they are different. I think this is the case with just about all domestic use pressure washers. It's easy enough to work around though, I think the karcher also use M22 fittings on the machine end of the hose, if I'm right about that then you'd just have to keep the karcher hose, install that on the ryobi machine when you wanted to use the karcher stuff and do the same for when you wanted ryobi accessories. Cheap and nasty pressure washers eg JetUSA use entirely proprietary fittings on everything so one can't do this with them.

Hi Malc,
The short answer is no.
I found nothing is interchangeable between the K2 and Rpw140-G.

Stick with Karcher is my recommendation. I thought of same but was disappointed with Ryobi, went back to Karcher which works out of the box.

Not sure but ask at Bunnings or contact Ryobi. I think other hoses may fit this model as I wanted a longer hose still looking into that!
