Title: my chemical metering
Post by: derek west on October 31, 2013, 08:27:43 am
has stopped working, it will prime no problem but will not work. also possibly related, my psi takes about 2 to 5 seconds to register on the meter after i have switched the truckmount on. any ideas anyone?

Had this problem when I first installed my Truckmount traced it back to a diaphram in the last step injection pump

Cheers Tony

Derek, I have known the plungers to stick in.


You know the numpty that adjusts the metering? wind it anti clockwise till it completely comes off, pull the spring and plunger out, lube it all up with silicone lube and put back together, it's worth a try.

Derek,
Check your water pump oil hasn't got oil in it.

Pressure water pumps have oil filled gear boxes.

pressure gauges are filled with oil to stop the needle bouncing around so it might be that whats leaking out.
