Lavor DIY repair

A gun dripped from the Lavor Phantom 19 sink. I unrolled it, inside everything is almost disgraceful: the hose from the sink enters the valve in the L-shaped plastic tube.
The vertical part of the tube has leaked out - water splashes out of it through the micro-slots.
I tried to seal the cracks in different ways: I poured the “moment” with glue, melted the electrical tape, wrapped it with fom-tape and “upset” with a technical hairdryer, smoothed the plastic in the place of the cracks with a soldering iron, and covered it up with cold welding.
None of this helped: the water still makes its way through the micro slits that are not visible to the eye.

How can the plastic tube be pressurized?

ps The new gun is comparable in price to the sink and its purchase is not economically justified.

Cleaning the garage, warehouse, car cleaning, and even your own summer cottage, becomes simple and easy if you purchase special equipment for this - a pressure washer. It is difficult to imagine a car service without a car wash; it can also be used to wash concrete mixers, pipes and other equipment well. Everyone knows very well how convenient high-pressure washers are for farmers - cleaning stables and agricultural machinery turns into a quick procedure that even a beginner can master.

The cost of the device varies from 4,000 to 20,000 rubles, depending on the material used in the manufacture of the body and other important parts of the tool. Experts note the excellent quality of brass products, the pistons of which are made of cermet. The correct choice of a pressure washer is not complete without due attention directed to the supplied attachments, it is good if the following components are included:

• cutters designed for working with dirt;
• sandblasting and suction tip;
• a variety of brushes;
• corner nozzles.

For a high pressure washer to show a long service life, use a water filter, which protects the inner structure of the hoses from contaminated fluid flow. At the end of each work, unused water must be drained from the equipment and pressure must be relieved.

Such preventive measures will save the equipment from sudden breakdown, but this does not mean at all that a situation will not come when a full repair of the device is required. You can do it yourself, for this you just need to know some of the subtleties of modifying the instance.

The main malfunction that can manifest itself after several years of active operation of the equipment is the bearing, which serves as a support for the swash plate pressing on the valve.

How does a breakdown manifest itself in Karcher:

1. The pressure washer runs jerkily, the engine regularly refuses to start, and a knock is heard from inside the structure.
2. The engine does not work at all, hums very much and heats up, literally plows with heat.

In this case, do-it-yourself Karcher sink bearing repair is the following sequence of manipulations:

1. Remove the hose with the gun.
2. Carefully disassemble the housing base, take out the electric motor equipped with the cylinder head.
3. Unscrew 6 self-tapping screws from the electric motor, the caps of which are made in the form of stars.
4. Open the box where the breaker is located and dispose of the capacitor along with the 2 power terminals coming from the breaker. Put the spring in a secluded place, if you lose it, it will be almost impossible to find the exact same part in stores.
5. Using a vertical stand, fix it firmly to the floor.
6. Place the pressure washer on this support with the electric motor pointing downwards.
7. Unscrew the 4 screws carefully by 13.
8. Oil will start to spill from the equipment, be careful.
9. Drain the oil into a container and set aside the rubber seal.
10. Inspect the condition of the clip with balls.
11. Armed with a screwdriver that allows you to remove the sprocket head mounts, remove the center bolt. To do this, clamp the shaft on the other side using a gas wrench.
12. Replace the bearing that is now visible.
13. The assembly of the equipment is carried out in the reverse order.
14. Do not forget to add new oil to the inside of the Karcher pressure washer.

Why do the oil seals break? Long-term use and low-quality impurities, substances in the water used spoil and quickly wear out the material. Nothing can be done here, except how to replace the oil seals with your own hands.
2. One of the valves is defective. It is unlikely that you will be able to do it yourself, repair is most likely impossible without diagnostics with special equipment in the service center.

So that you do not have to face the listed malfunctions in the operation of the Shtil and Champion sinks, you should adhere to important rules and requirements:

1. Pay attention to the quality of the water used, the liquid must not be contaminated.
2. Repair of the pressure washer is not necessary if you make it a rule to carry out regular preventive maintenance of the product.
3. Pay attention to proper voltage and change oil on time

Washing a car, cleaning a garage or tidying up a summer cottage - all these works are greatly facilitated by a mini-wash. Some models are quite suitable for flushing pipes or concrete mixers. Unattractive and difficult work like cleaning stables or washing agricultural machinery is greatly simplified with the help of this miracle device. The topic of today's publication is the repair of a pressure washer with your own hands, because any technique tends to fail after a particular period of operation.

In order for the mini-sink to serve as long as possible, it is necessary to follow the not very complicated rules for the safe operation of the device specified in the instructions for use:

• Remember to ensure that there is sufficient water in the sink. If this rule is neglected, the pump can quickly fail.
• Take care not to bend the hose. Otherwise, the device will fail due to the excess of the water level. It will not be superfluous to make sure that you do not step on the hose or run over it with the wheel of the device.
• Choose a mini-sink in such a way that it is equipped with a hose reel. In this case, the working life of the device will be much longer.
• Remember to drain the water after you have finished using the appliance. Especially if you have operated your sink at low temperatures. Water, turning into ice, will provoke a breakdown of the device.

Important! It is equally important to release pressure from the pump.

• Use your mini-sink very carefully. Water is supplied at high pressure, so even small dents may appear on the surface of the car if used carelessly. Therefore, you do not need to bring the device too close to the surface to be treated.

Important! It is strictly forbidden to point the device at people or animals, as this may cause injury.

• If you need to take a short break from work, never leave the device turned on.
• Make sure that the water used is free of foreign matter.
• Change the oil in time.

These preventive measures will protect the worker and those around him. But this does not mean at all that the sink will work forever. Even with the most careful operation, breakdowns cannot be avoided. Consider the rules for repairing a broken Karcher car wash.

Most often, bearings fail over time, which serve as a support for the washer acting on the valve.

The symptoms of bearing failure are as follows:

1. Unstable wash operation. In this case, the engine often does not start; a knock is heard inside the device.
2. It also happens that the engine does not start at all, it gets very hot when turned on.

Do-it-yourself mini-high-pressure washer repair is the following set of manipulations:

• Remove the hose from the device together with the “gun”.
• Disassemble the case, remove the motor.
• Unscrew the 6 self-tapping screws located with an "asterisk" from the motor.
• Open the box with the switch, remove the capacitor and power terminals that come from the switch.

Important! Watch carefully so that the details are not lost: it will not be possible to purchase something similar in the store.

• Place the sink carefully on a horizontal surface, motor downward.
• Prepare a container to drain the oil.
• Unscrew the bolts by 13 (there are 4 in total).
• Drain the oil into a previously prepared container, put the rubber seal aside.
• Unscrew the bolt located in the center, having previously clamped the shaft with a wrench on the other side.
• Replace worn bearing.
• Assemble the mini-sink in the reverse order, remembering to fill in new oil.

Important! The original oil is difficult to find, so use a suitable analogue.

In addition to bearing failure, the following failures also occur:

1. Reducing the pressure. The performance of the device decreases, the time for performing washing procedures increases dramatically. The cause of this trouble is damage to the oil seals.Oil seals fail due to prolonged operation of the sink and the presence of impurities in the water. You can solve the problem by replacing the oil seals.
2. Valve defective. It is hardly possible to make an independent repair, therefore it is much wiser to contact a service center.
