To service a Kranzle K7 or K10 pressure washer, you will need to perform the following steps:
-
Drain the water from the system: Start by attaching a hose to the drain valve on the pressure washer. Open the valve and allow the water to drain out until the system is empty.
-
Flush the system: Once the system is empty, attach a garden hose to the inlet valve on the pressure washer. Turn on the water and let it run through the system for a few minutes to flush out any debris or contaminants that may have accumulated inside.
-
Replace the inlet filter: The inlet filter is located on the inlet valve and is responsible for filtering out any contaminants from the water before it enters the system. Remove the old filter and replace it with a new one.
-
Check and replace the seals: Inspect the seals on the pump and any other moving parts for signs of wear or damage. If the seals are worn or damaged, they should be replaced to ensure proper operation of the pressure washer.
-
Lubricate the moving parts: Use a high-quality silicone grease to lubricate the moving parts of the pressure washer, including the pump, hose connections, and any other areas that may be prone to friction.
