Title: pressure washing turbo lance problem.
Post by: Ged on September 08, 2007, 02:35:14 pm

hi all
using turbo lance this morning it didn't seem quite right. power seemed to be varying. it's had some right stick over the last few years and suspect it may be just wear. took the head apart and couldn't see anything obvious but as it's the first time i've looked inside one i don't know how it should look. when  reassembled it produces a cone of water but it doesn't seem to be spinning now.

any thoughts guys?

Ged is the "rotating" bit like a ceramic bullet. They don't actually rotate the just osilate like the loose end of a high pressure hose does, within the brass housing

The actual nozzle is very small one eight bsp and is inside the ceramic bullet you just pull the top off the bullet and unscrew the nozzle. Whwe I say just...... it's not easy as it's so small. Once again the nozzle has to match your flow and pressure (nozzles have a coloured spot on em)
When yur'e reassembling it there is usually a rubber buffer on the  bullet you have to adjust to make the nozzle "wobble"

Steve, the bullet shaped object just seem to float freely within the body of the turbo head.
