DIY blower repair

You may have been looking for a garden vacuum cleaner repair

Cleaning the area at the end of the season takes a lot of effort. Collecting fallen leaves using well-known tools, especially in large areas, takes a lot of time. A blower helps in this difficult task. Such a rake and a broom in one bottle easily cope with debris, without contacting branches with them. Like any technique, blowers break down. Blower repairs associated with lack of maintenance and improper operation

The main blower malfunctions and possible causes are as follows. 1) Does not start-malfunction of ignition, piston, fuel supply. 2) Stalls-problems in the intake system. For electric: does not turn on / turns on intermittently - there is no power supply, the engine is faulty. Blower repair is a rare problem. Most often it is associated with improper operation and lack of conservation of equipment

If you damage the car long enough, it will break down. "Schmidt's Law"

Equipment availability plays an important role in blower repair. This is the key to fast and accurate diagnostics, which also makes it possible to restore faulty components to a new state. You reduce the cost of repairs without losing the resource of equipment. Often, the use of improvised and home-made tools, the lack of knowledge on their installation leads to injuries, not to mention the breakdown of expensive components

The main component of the blower is the engine. A two-stroke engine is installed on gasoline engines, which runs on a mixture of gasoline and oil in the appropriate proportion. It should be strictly observed and long-term storage of fuel should not be allowed.

The mixture is formed in the carburetor and fed under the piston. It ignites under high pressure and burns. The gases drive the crankshaft. The electric ones are equipped with a synchronous motor consisting of a rotor, a stator and a brush assembly. It rotates by applying voltage to the brushes with a button that the user presses. An impeller is attached to the shaft, which creates an air flow in a given direction

Purchase spare parts

If you suddenly think or decide to make repairs to the blower with your own hands, we advise you to think a few more times by the efforts of your friends or neighbors. In practice, the interest of users, incorrect assessment of their knowledge and skills, the desire to save money only leads to big problems and costs, with all that it implies. Sometimes even professionals work for a long time on troubleshooting. Without equipment, you will not always be able to diagnose equipment, remove and service a specific unit

and we are not saying that you are absolutely powerless in this matter. We are just trying to protect you from even bigger problems that people create for themselves and want to help you!

We repair electric, battery and petrol blowers of knapsack and hand-made design of all leading brands. If your manufacturer is absent in this list, you can contact our managers by phone or using the form below

Request a call back and leave a request

This is the question people ask us every day. And to be honest, it's rarely worth talking about it in advance. Blower prices fluctuate depending on its characteristics and manufacturer, the same goes for spare parts. Faults and their causes are of a private nature. Design features, time and prices for assembling units differ. Therefore, the conversation about this is very controversial and requires an accurate assessment.

To estimate the cost of repairs, it is necessary to carry out diagnostics!

Prices are indicated for reference, excluding the cost of spare parts and may differ up / down depending on the complexity of the saw design and the time spent on work. The cost for complex repairs is less due to the dismantling of related units

Happy summer resident with working trimmer

When I came to the guys, I was very upset - I saw a huge amount of equipment waiting for repairs and got ready to hear that it would be necessary to wait for my turn for at least a month, BUT after 2 days I took an absolutely working trimmer.

When the renovation is perfect, then there is nothing special to say, except THANKS! for the return of life to our lovely pieces of iron

For several years now I have been repairing equipment from Husquarna for the guys. They always listen to my wishes and do everything to make the client satisfied.

Repeatedly repaired various equipment in the service center. Oleo-mac lawn mower, makita chainsaw, max cut trimmer. I am completely satisfied with the service. Everything is fine, everything is fine. The technique works to this day.

Hello.
My name is Mikhail Vinogradov.
We contacted the service center last year. We had problems with the operation of the gasoline cultivator. We were not only properly and inexpensively repaired equipment, but also given advice and recommendations on proper operation. This was important because this is what helped a lot. All summer we used the cultivator and remembered the masters with a kind word. The technique is now started with a half turn. The friendly attitude was especially pleasant, they even helped to convey the equipment (unload and load into the car) absolutely disinterestedly. This year the need arose to fix the petrol lawn mower. The question did not even arise "where to do it?" And again we were pleasantly struck by the politeness, willingness to help, advice and recommendations, but the main thing is the high professionalism and decency of the craftsmen. Missing parts have been ordered and installed. Prices for parts and repairs are negotiated with the client by phone. Everyone would work like that! Many thanks. We recommend everyone to contact here. You will not regret it.

Good day. Your client Andrey Evgenievich Seregin. I have repaired a manual petrol trimmer (petrol cutter) FS-35 (1997 release) at your place and came in full confidence that I was going to an authorized STIHL dealer. We did everything right. Serviced, lubricated the shaft, replaced worn parts. SHTIL works as it should. Thank you.

2. Repaired Bosch Perforator.
Good impressions, everything is working properly, this is the main thing!
Thanks a lot,
I will not recommend it, but I have already recommended it!

In October 2017, I repaired an electric Makita saw, repaired with me. Additionally, I bought a chain and received a competent recommendation on the use of the tool. I was very pleased with everything. Then in November I brought a BOSCH trimmer for maintenance and again they did everything quickly and well, I also bought a coil and a housing for it there. I was satisfied. The workshop has a shop with a large selection of new gardening equipment. I recommended this workshop to my friends. Alexander Astakhov.

My name is Oksana Ivanovna. Last year I went to the service center. Bosch electric saw broke. It didn't turn on. Repaired in a day, it was also very inexpensive for the money. In my opinion, 500 rubles. I also liked how the route map is indicated on the site. Everything is clear, if you want, you won't get lost. Thank you. If anything, immediately to you.

Various equipment was repaired in the service center. Saw, and two trimmers. Repaired, everything works fine.I learned from the guys that I was buying spare parts in tridorogues in other places, received advice on the correct operation. Thank you.

My name is Alexey Shvedov. I am engaged in the manufacture of handmade furniture, so I have to work a lot with wood. Saw and machine. He repaired and serviced a stihl ms 661 chainsaw (not to be confused with a Chinese one), a makita planer, and other equipment: a viking gb 460 gasoline garden chopper, stihl trimmer, yanmar generator. Everything is still working. Thanks to work advice, I avoided a bunch of mistakes that would lead to breakdowns. The guys have spare parts, consumables, new equipment, sharpen chains, lawn mower knives. In general, an advanced profile. Thank you.

The vast majority of equipment is subject to repair, even in those cases when it is in terrible condition and many parts need to be replaced.

It makes sense to talk about the cost of repair in advance only if the malfunction has an obvious nature of damage
For instance:
Replacing a chain sprocket on a chainsaw due to wear is obvious. The malfunction is obvious - just change the asterisk and the problem is solved.
In this case, the amount of repair will be made up of the price of the spare part and its replacement - everything is simple.
The cost of replacing the same part may differ, since the time spent on work for a particular model may differ depending on the design feature.
Chainsaw won't start - not obvious. The malfunction cannot be seen and it is not obvious, since it can hide in itself a number of breakdowns that follow from each other, therefore, in this case, diagnostics are required, during which it is revealed what exactly is out of order.
Talking about exact or approximate prices, the same as talking about the average temperature in a hospital, does not make any sense. Even the doctor looks at you before speaking.

The repair time depends on:
- the nature of your malfunction
- whether you or a third party tried to repair itself and what were the consequences
- the availability of spare parts in the warehouse and the timing of their delivery if it is supplied from a warehouse or from abroad

We only use original spare parts. For equipment that is no longer produced and supported by the manufacturer, time-tested analogs are used

We accept the equipment for repair, after which we make diagnostics. At the end of the diagnosis, we will contact you to agree on the cost of the repair. After receiving a positive response from you, we make repairs and notify you of the readiness of the equipment. We demonstrate its correct operation, provide replacement parts, explain the mistakes made and give recommendations for further use.

After repair, a 3-month warranty is given. The warranty applies to the work performed

The technique is accepted for repair in its pure form. Disassembled equipment is not accepted (except in cases where there is no need and convenience to transport the entire equipment)
For example: if you have an electric trimmer and there are clearly problems with the engine (and you are sure of this), then you can disconnect the engine from the boom and bring it separately. But it is better to bring the whole equipment, since people do not notice some malfunctions and take it for granted.
If you still have questions about how to act specifically in your case, you can check with our specialists.

The main purpose of an air compressor is gas compression and continuous supply of a jet of air under pressure to pneumatic equipment and pneumatic tools. Such air is an energy carrier and ensures the operation of spray guns, airbrushes, wrenches, and a tire inflation gun.

air compressor

The listed pneumatic tool is safer to work with than a power tool, for example. The pneumatic equipment cannot have a short circuit that can lead to electric shock and fire. That is why such a tool is widely used in car repair shops or when repairing a car with your own hands.

The air compressor is applicable to households and when it stops working, it needs to be repaired. However, the repair of compressors is not particularly difficult, it is quite possible to do it yourself.

To understand the problems of a compressor, you need to clearly understand what elements it consists of and what they are intended for. The compressor, in the minimum configuration, consists of a blower (an engine that creates an air flow) and a receiver - a container that contains compressed air. Reciprocating compressors are most commonly used.

One of the main requirements for a compressor is its safety. If the pressure in the receiver is not controlled, the compressor will burn out. There is a high probability that the receiver cylinder may explode. To prevent this, the receiver is equipped with an electronic relay that automatically turns off the compressor when the air pressure reaches a certain value.

The air compressor is equipped with a pressure gauge that indicates the amount of air pressure in the cylinder. A check valve is used to protect the compressor from negative influences. Its main function is to prevent air from returning back to the compressor when the unit is turned off or otherwise interfered with.

More complex compressor designs are characterized by additional equipment such as compressor automation. Usually in small compressors, the automation unit maintains a pressure of up to eight atmospheres using a pressure switch, turning on or off the power to the electric motor when the minimum or maximum pressure in the receiver is reached.

In this case, there are two pressure gauges: the large one shows the pressure in the tank of the receiver, the small one - at the outlet. The pressure switch can be equipped with an unloading valve. When the unit is stopped, it will open, making it easier to start the engine later.

In some models, a cooling radiator is provided on the pipes for supplying air from the compressor to the receiver.

Cooling the air results in less condensation in the receiver. Such a trifle in the design extends the service life of the automation.

The presence of a drain valve allows you to quickly drain condensate from the receiver, because it is advisable to end each operation of the unit with this operation.

The safety valve releases the increased pressure in the receiver if, for some reason, the automation does not work, which protects the compressor motor from overloads.

The air filter protects the piston system from sand, dirt, paint fumes.

The following types of compressors are distinguished:

1. Volumetric action - keep gas or air in a confined space, increase pressure. Among them are:

• rotary, principle of operation - suction and compression of gas during rotation of the plates; the working volume decreases, this leads to an increase in pressure.
• piston - pressure is created by the movement of pistons and valves; reliable in operation, but noisier than rotary ones.

1. Dynamic - provide compression by increasing the speed of gas movement, increasing its kinetic energy, which is converted into compression energy. Distinguish:

• centrifugal - used for air exchange in mines;
• axial or axial.

Consider how a piston-type compressor works, air or gas in it is compressed by a piston that moves through the cylinder:

• When the piston (3) moves up the compressor cylinder (4), the working gas is compressed. The electric motor moves the piston through the crankshaft (6) and connecting rod (5).
• The suction and discharge valves are opened and closed by gas pressure.
• The diagram on the left shows the gas suction phase into the compressor. When the piston moves down, a vacuum is created in the compressor and the inlet valve (12) opens. Thus, the gas enters the compressor space.
• The right diagram shows the gas compression phase. The piston moves upwards and the outlet valve (1) opens. The gas leaves the compressor at high pressure.

scheme of work

The blower itself produces an uneven air stream, which cannot be used, for example, for using a spray gun. The receiver saves the day by smoothing out the pressure pulsations.

Having replenished the stock of information about the compressor unit, you can repair the compressor yourself. A distinction is made between the following compressor system malfunctions:

1. The compressor unit blower does not start.
2. From time to time, the thermal cut-out is triggered.
3. When the compressor starts, the thermal cut-out is triggered and the fuse is blown out.
4. The engine of the unit runs, but does not pump air into the receiver, or does it slowly.
5. When the supercharger is turned off, the pressure in the receiver drops.
6. High moisture content in the air outlet.
7. Strong vibration from the engine.
8. The compressor unit works intermittently.
9. The air flow is consumed below the norm.

There are several probable reasons why the compressor will not start..

If the unit does not start and does not hum, check the supply voltage with an indicator screwdriver. If there is a phase, the connections of the plug to the socket are normal, it is worth checking the fuses that are subject to melting.

Defective fuses are replaced with others of the same rating. New fuses with higher current ratings must not be installed. If the fuses blow repeatedly, there may be a short circuit at the input to the circuit.

The compressor may not start due to incorrect operation of the pressure control switch or failure of the level settings. To check if this is so, the gas is released from the cylinder and the supercharger is started. If the engine is running, readjust the relay. Does not work - change the required part.

The engine will not run when the thermal cutout trips, turning off the power due to an overload of the piston system. In this case, do-it-yourself compressor repair is to let the motor cool down for 20 minutes, after which the unit's operation will return to normal.

It happens that thermal protection is triggered regularly. This happens due to low voltage in the network or increased air temperature in the room. The voltage in the network must not be less than the lower limit of the range recommended by the manufacturer; it is enough to measure this value with a multimeter.

In a poorly ventilated area, an air-cooled piston engine often overheats. The solution is to move the compressor to another well-ventilated room.

The blower inlet filter may become clogged due to poor air flow, in which case it should be flushed or replaced.

The problem is more serious if the thermal protection is triggered when the compressor starts and the fuse blows. Perhaps it is not designed for the power of the unit, then it is replaced with the appropriate one.

The fuse can be blown due to an overload in the mains. It is worth checking and disconnecting some of the consumers that load the network.Repair of air compressors is difficult if the voltage relay does not work correctly or the bypass valve breaks down. In this case, it is best to seek help from a workshop or service.

If the voltage in the network is too low, the electric motor of the compressor will not cope with the scrolling of the axis and will hum. It is worth checking the voltage in the network with a multimeter (must be at least 220V).

If the voltage is normal, there may be too much pressure in the receiver and the piston cannot push the air. To eliminate this malfunction, manufacturers strongly recommend that you set the switch to the "OFF" position for 15 seconds, and then move it to the "AUTO" position.

If such actions do not lead to a positive result, it is likely that the receiver pressure control switch is malfunctioning or the control valve is clogged.

A defective relay should be sent for repair or replaced. You can try to fix the check valve by removing the cylinder head and cleaning the channels.

A drop in pressure indicates an air leak from the system. It happens:

• in the blowing path;
• in the outlet valve of the receiver;
• in the control valve of the piston head;

It is necessary to carefully check the entire pipeline with a soapy solution, covering the entire pipeline. If a leak is found, it should be sealed.

The vent valve may leak air if not closed tightly or due to a malfunction. If the tap is closed and the soapy solution is bubbling, the part must be replaced.

The problem may be with the piston head valve. In order to carry out further repair of the air compressor, it is necessary to disassemble the cylinder head and remove the dirt that may have collected in the valve. Before starting work, it is imperative to bleed all the compressed air from the receiver. If the pressure drops again, the valve needs to be changed.

The air supplied from the compressor can be very humid in the following cases:

• moisture has accumulated in the receiver;
• the air intake filter is very dirty;
• the compressor is located in a room with high humidity.

To combat moisture, the following methods are applicable:

• you should regularly drain the excess liquid from the receiver cylinder;
• the filter element is washed or replaced;
• the unit is transferred to another room, where the air is drier or special filters are installed.

Reciprocating engines are prone to high vibration. Don't worry until the vibration becomes too noticeable. It can be assumed that the reason is the wear of the vibration cushions, which are easily replaced.

The vibration can be caused by loosening of the bolts. In such a case, repairing the air compressor is a simple matter of tightening the bolts.

Interruptions in the operation of a compressor unit are caused by:

1. Defective pressure control switch. The air pressure switch for the compressor is used to automatically protect the unit in the following cases:

• the suction pressure becomes less than the calculated one;
• the discharge pressure exceeds the permissible limit.

Distinguish low pressure switch, the direct actuation of which (opening of the contact) occurs when the pressure drops to a controlled value. When the pressure rises by the setting value, reverse operation (contact closure) occurs.

Have high pressure switch direct actuation (opening of the contact) occurs when the pressure rises to the set value. Reverse operation (contact closure) occurs when the pressure drops.

The pressure switch is being repaired or replaced with a new one.

1. Intensive extraction of compressed air - occurs due to a discrepancy in the performance of the compressor unit

with power consumption. These compressor malfunctions can be excluded if, when buying a pneumatic tool, you thoroughly study its characteristics and find out how much air is consumed per unit of time.

Such a malfunction occurs due to a gas leak in the high pressure system, as well as if the air intake filter is clogged. Air leakage can be avoided by stretching all butt joints and wrapping them with sealing tape.
