You can use an appropriately sized socket to press those seals home

[@AlfaGTA156]

The socket needs to be a tight fit to have a snug fit in the seals. You might need to add a little lubricant before inserting and tightening up🤔

[@bartdegroot4826]

i used to service and repair 'that other German brand mostly yellow, black or gray and begins with K..' and a tip for fitting new pumpseals is to grease them up, and let them soak in hot ( like tea water hot) for a little while. the chance of dammaging seals is less when they are a little bit more flexible, and yes there is a tool for that. I saw that the oil turned quite milky coloured. This might be caused by the plungers being damaged. check with your fingernail over the part where the plunger and seal(s) make contact, if you can feel any obstical, ( make sure it's not debree) than you should replace the plungers to.

[@1kontrabida]

Its water mixing with oil which turns into a milky substance, most like due to seals or Orings being worn out. and I agree to warm the seals and lubricate them a little bit of marine grease or ur preferred grease. I normally get long pin and clean the pin size holes all around the pump and soak the pump with vinegar with a pinch of salt to dissolve all the particles on every crevices or pinholes...Lastly ill check the fan and shroud on the back and also either wipe or repaint the pump as needed.

[@PeteCourtier]

I work for that Danish brand mostly blue😂 Emulsified oil is because of worn oil seals. I mainly service Delta boosters.

[@hondacrx0]

Kärcher i think.

[@KranzlePressureWashers]

Awesome video, well explained, couple of things I noticed the grey end of the high pressure hose usually goes on the gun end (unless the gun has a integrated swivel), also the small lance nozzles you are using are either worn or a larger size causing lower than normal pressure (unless you have it turned down on the red knob) lastly the oil may go milky again if the oil chamber was not completely cleaned. Would love to help you out if you need help 👍

[@ubertalldude]

I love a good oil change. That old oil looked so water-contaminated

[@ADominacja]

This is proof of how well the Kranzle power washers are build. Looking at the parameters, they are quite a bit more expensive when compared to similar Karcher or Nilfisk models, but it shows in how overbuilt it is. Despite being so neglected, it lasted for a really long time.

[@TroyaE117]

My word, that oil was milky !!! The Kranzle is a good unit. I have the 1150T, now more than 20 years old.

Another trick for putting the brass rings, is to use a socket of the closest size, that way you get even pressure when lightly tapping them with a rubber mallet. I do that method when I'm resealing mine.

I would change the oil once again after it circulates a bit. Water in oil is one of the worst contaminants. Won't take more than 5min, and this second change will completely flush it off.

I don't know if you have heard of him, but there is a youtuber Matt Moreman he runs the channel Obsessed Garage and he specializes in stuff like this. I would think about giving his stuff a look because the guns, wands, and quick connects he offers are some of the best in the world. I have a new kranzle from him on the way along with a bunch of his snazzy fittings and swivels. They really are some of the best you should check it out it makes the using experience 10x better.

Bloody hell mate, that oil was so badly emulsified that I feel you were lucky not to have any main bearing issues. That said, I can advise that these little machines are quality items from new, so a fair bit of use/ abuse is tolerated easily. I used to sell and service these machines, so I’m not surprised to find that all is still ok with your machine. That bit of TLC now will serve you well. Nice little vid as always. Cheers👍🏻👍🏻

Exactly. And after that, every year or after every 250 hours, whichever comes first.

[@andrewmounsey5030]

I didn't even know the Kranzle had oil, let alone the need to change it. Presumably the 50 hours is "finger on trigger time" so I'm probably only just approaching 50 after a year of weekend warrior washing

[@BarnacleBill77]

Fantastic, great work. Just a tip and i know you've done it now, but those hard plastic washers are easier to fit with a suitable sized socket and gently knocked in with a rubber mallet :)

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Would that not just crush them though? The ones I was fitting here were going in face-up so to speak so you couldn’t even rest them flat to be able to tap with a socket.

[@BarnacleBill77]

@@CarCleaningGuru It shouldn't crush them but i get what you mean with not being able to rest a socket on them. Excellent video as always :)

When the oil is milky like that usually means it’s got water mixed in with it

[@matthewspence8338]

Quite common on these with condensation. Had one for many years and serviced by a Kranzle rep twice, the oil is used for cooling and not lubrication and as such I have been assured it is ok. Obviously not ideal no, but it doesn’t seem to do any harm

[@CarCleaningGuru]

This is why I never changed it for so long although I’ve since been told the oil does lubricate as well as cool 🤷‍♂️.

It was leaking before. Internally though. Thats how the gear oil got so milky.

[@Mykland34]

Have you always been carrying the machine back and forth from you wash area and if so, is the machine suited for being carried around like that all the time? Also, do you feel that the 7/122 is sufficiently powered or would you go for the 122/10 next time?

[@flash3168]

Ha ha your ace love the video

[@23hublock1]

Only about 75 bar? Should be around 120..... Did you have the red valve wound out? My K10 122 TS is by far the best power washer I've ever had. New for 2021 is the Kranzle K12 130 not sure if it's available in this country yet, it's black and stealthy and no plastic box on top. Edit - Jeez, Malcolm from AquaSpray said a few weeks ago that all Kranzle machines were in for a price hike, he wasn't kidding! Glad I got mine a few months ago.

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Don’t think I had the valve knocked back no. Usually get around 100 using the standard lance, not sure if the stubby gun with wide fan would affect the pressure reading at the pump?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

The 40 degree lance end reduces the pressure significantly. If this was a 0 degree end /driveway cleaning nozzle you would get pretty much full pressure 👍🏼

[@keithhilton1564]

It looked like you had some dried oil on the side where the oil window cap is located and toward the bottom of the machine.
