If you use a pressure washer business you need to change quickly, or repair the pump. There are some things you should be aware of this change-out easy. You may also need to study the preventive maintenance, so you do not have to worry about pump failure. Your pressure washer is probably one of the two different pumps, if it is of industrial quality. Or a cat or a general pump-pump, both of which are industry standards. In general, the industry leader in sales and in manydear cat, as it absorbs more water tanks plastic.
The pump is indicated by two parallel stripes on your engine. You should be careful not to starve the pump of the water. If the tank is empty, the engine is turned off. Hunger, the pump will burn in about 35 minutes. The manufacturer claims nine 55 minutes, but it is not life threatening. The pump has a safety feature, so if you're not spraying the water, it will automatically switch toTank provided there is enough water for the entire cycle. Thank you. We also thought it was one of our great ideas. You should change the pump oil every month. Make sure your pressure washer is level and fill the pump with the red dot in the center of the glasses. Capture is a bad idea.
On your pump you will find six large screws. Inside the hole, the valves are controlled with feathers. After 300-500 hours, you should change. You can do ititself. Valve kit is $ 60,000. It 'very simple:
Tighten the bolts
Remove the old valve
Replace the valve
Make sure the valve seat evenly
Loosen the screws in the hand
Be sure to set the O-ring on the screw is
Tighten with a wrench rather closely
Check the pump
If you drain the oil and has bubbles in it or turn white, then you've blown a gasket with oil and water because: overheated because of starvation of water, theHousing cracked due to vibration, you forgot to add the oil, fictitious return ($ 600 mistake and lost a day of work when the parties can quickly obtain).
Check that the straps are tight. If you do not tighten. Look for drops of water. A slow drip free on the output side of the pump may provide up to 150 PSI at the nozzle. A rapid decline (three drops for two seconds) may be a loss of 250-300 psi at the nozzle. Constant drip flow could be a loss of 500 plus PSI. If you see the penetration of water, fixedloss in the shortest possible time. Be sure to use enough teflon tape when tightening fittings. This will stop future losses, to prevent rust and make assembly easy to separate in the future.
A hole in a pipe or leak on the suction side of the pump to let air into the pump will behave as if it were starving for water. It may also pulsate. When the water level in the tank reaches a point below the leak in the pipe, the air is to replace the water and you have the pressure to zero. This makes it very difficult to washnothing.
Low pressure in the pump may be caused by a number of things, these are by far the most common, but this is not a complete list, as a rule, if the problem solved by this list, check the simplest things first, such as refueling Water:
Faulty Gauge (Replace)
(Fill the tank) out of the water
Old and worn on the tip of the gun nozzle (Replace)
The wrong (remove and replace)
Windbreak (tangential force)
Leaky pipe (FixLosses)
Defective unloader (Substitute)
Mis-adjusted trap (Re-adjust)
Packing worn pump (Take it to the dealer)
In line with a dirty filter dirty (clean)
Obstruction in nozzle tip (remove)
Chemistry sucking air metering (off)
Motor at low speed (Check Engine)
If you have a problem to beat the pressure of the machine gun or Float, this is a very different problem from the low pressure. It is advisable to check for: piston wornPackaging (call distributors). Pump draws air (fixed holes), the block valve (Remove non-return valves and remove constipation). If it is fluctuating and very noisy or if the pump is controlled by:
Air intake pipe (water supply and control links)
Valve spring broken or weak or aspiration (called Dealer)
Valves thing too (Check and clean if necessary)
Worn bearings (Check and replace. If necessary, call distributor)
Vibrations (mounting pull.Otherwise, call distributor)
Blown head gaskets, pumps, high humidity in the air (oil change more often) or the piston rings worn out and then call the dealer: If you find the presence of water in the oil pump may be caused by. If water or oil dripping from the bottom of the pump could be a number of things such as worn piston seal, piston o-ring holder may be worn, the seal oil pump worn or shot in the head Crack pump head. Should call one of these retailers and see if they have the parts,You can possibly fix even if you feel safe if you do not need to leave your car with the dealer for repair.
Lubrication of the pump every three months or 500 hours, depending on what must be done first. Use SAE 40 weight or equivalent for Cat pumps. U.S. 20/30 weight oil acids generally pump. Must be hydraulic oil with anti-wear additives and rust. The oil level should be checked, by looking in the window on the side of the pump. Just fillOil for the red dot in the middle.
It must be understood as a high-pressure cleaning contractor, such as maintenance and repair of your appliances, think about it.
