Hi Billermans if you have lost some oil it will certainly not pump up it will keep dropping down so just top up the hydraulic oil up a little amount at a time untill the chair stays up after pumping up Thanks for watching my video Richard

Hi recently acquired an second hand barber's chair myself, and the pump is not working. It did work before normally, but with moving the chair we had to take apart the foot & chair, and some oil slipped out. Could it be that we should just refill the oil?

Great videos and Richard too😍👌

Hi saloon your welcome

[@animalventura]

What size was the washer?

[@nateryan7041]

Is it possible to get a taller rod for a taller hair dresser to help rise up the chair so she doesn't have to bend down all the time .?

[@richardshomemechanics5566]

Hi Nate Thank you for watching my channel in answer to your question I can’t see a reason why you can’t get a taller rod it may be worth contacting a saloon chair manufacturer to see if the can help you or advise where you could get one made up Thanks Richard

[@dalewhitehurst3996]

How much fluid did it takr to fill ?

[@richardshomemechanics5566]

Was i while since i done the saloon chair but it wasn’t a lot

[@bethanyclifford4414]

Hello, how do I know how much oil to put into salon chair? Do you add oil until it reaches where you put the oil in? Thanks 😊

[@richardshomemechanics5566]

Hi Bethany yes that’s what I done hold the leg up and pour into hole untill it comes out from where your filling you will know if you need to add any more as when you pump up the chair the peddle will be soft hope that helps Richard x

[@drwestcuts]

So where do I get the parts ?

[@richardshomemechanics5566]

Hi I found the parts on eBay I measured the original seals first though before ordering internal and external 👋

[@Andrew_haros]

Do you have an idea why my pump would be leaking at the bottom

[@richardshomemechanics5566]

Hi Ach tats The pump will have o rings. ( oil seals ) these perish after time and allow fluid to leak past them especially when they are under pressure when the foot peddle is pumped 👍

[@erinebritish770]

[@douglassheehan6690]

Why would the chair not go down? I have this issue

[@richardshomemechanics5566]

Hi Douglas I’m not sure what you mean ?

[@douglassheehan6690]

@@richardshomemechanics5566 I have a barber chair/salon chair that goes up fine but won’t come down. Any thoughts

[@richardshomemechanics5566]

@@douglassheehan6690 you really do need to strip it down there could be eternal damage inside without a full strip you will not now … to much hydraulic oil could cause this if you have recently topped it up best to strip down 🤙

[@joelarry7695]

Where were you able to find the seal?

[@richardshomemechanics5566]

Hi Joe Sorry just seen your message the seal is where the push rod goes

[@juliozuniga2867]

@@richardshomemechanics5566 hello Richard, where did you buy them? Part number? Etc. I work at a school and have like 6 of them that need work.

[@richardshomemechanics5566]

Hi Julio can you please explain what video you are talking about please 👍

[@14frogi14]

Nice work. Where can I buy the seals or O rings at. Measurements on seals if possible

[@richardshomemechanics5566]

Hi frogicutz After researching for what oil seal will fit the salon chair I found these seals on eBay Nitrile rubber rotary shaft oil seal You will need to measure internal and external measurements of the original soil seal I’ve used this one in our salon chair for 6 months with no issues or leaks how that helps Thank you for commenting on my channel Regards Richard
