Kranzle 1122TST Maintenance Deep Dive: Pump Head Teardown

[@robsmobiledetailing]

Josh was so knowledgeable and informative, I just spent over an hour watching two dudes disassemble and talk about a pressure washer I don’t even own. Still, very helpful in understanding the mechanics behind pressure washers in general.

[@paulfarmer6498]

This video is gold! Thank you Matt for putting this all together and allowing us to tag along.

[@KenseisGarage]

Man 13yrs, this dude knows his stuff. Awesome information and impressive piece of engineering. I’m pretty sure we’ll see an OG version soon. Great video Matt 👍👌

[@anthonyjohnson9580]

Great video Matt. This is by far one of the best thorough video's on this great machine that you made famous.👌👌👌. Thanks a million Matt! !!!!

[@ObsessedGarage]

I had a blast learning about these intricate details!

[@SWAGURA]

Josh was the one who helped me add the total stop switch to my kranzle 2020, hes awesome

[@chavezcustomdetailing9540]

Kranzle 2020. How much does that pressure washer cost?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's $1690.

[@weaverdetails4747]

How do you like your 2020? Was it difficult to add total stop? How much flow are you able to get with the 2020?

[@jimgibson-brown6701]

After watching the channel I bought this exact machine to replace a tired old Karcher. The difference in quality is immediately apparent (as is the weight ) - this is a machine for life (or at least until Matty recommends something else 🤪) . Great vid as always.

[@GeeWhizRS]

Really good video. I just ordered one of these washers here in the UK. What I would say though is that vaseline (petroleum jelly) should not really be used with rubber seals/o-rings because it'll actually attack it. Better to use silicone grease.

[@pierreremillard1424]

Finally Matt, we have a distributor in Canada, Quebec. I love my new Kranzle 1122 TST pressure machine. One of the best pressure machines on the market today. Once again, excellent detailed video Matt. Sorry with my writing errors with English, I am a french from Quebec.

[@famillecx7061]

Where is the distributor? Quel distributeur? merci

[@kranzleusa5846]

Thanks for visiting us Matt !

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Thanks so much for this, just rebuilding my 1152 and this was very helpful.

[@fischputza]

At first glance I thought this was OG HQ....and Matt stocked up on Kränzle PWs 😂

[@floriss3523]

I needed a video like this. Thanks Matt.

[@rhsab1]

This is a great video Matt! Using antifreeze is a smart idea.

[@jkxss]

The trick to removing the dip stick is to remove the blue cover. You have significantly better grip on it once the cover is removed. It only takes like 2 minutes to remove the six screws holding the cover on. That way you don't have to mangle the dip stick (you can use your bare hands at that point).

[@MarcAntoine01]

Many great tips to use my pressure washer. Thanks for the video

[@TannerRE]

this was excellent. Ive done my first oil change on my 1122 watching your video in the wash bay, this will be great to be able to reference for further maintenance down the road. Thanks Matt.

[@Potzii85]

Really nice explanations, thanks to the information provided, I was able to fix a major issue with my Kränzle 1150 T :)

[@939driver]

Great interesting video, and useful knowledge. I'm saving up money for a base model Kränzle rn, hoping to get one by the end of this year..

[@Puddingtops]

What did you do on New Year’s Day? I watched this video from start to finish 😀

[@earley226]

It's weird saying that I really appreciate the video I hope to never have to fully watch.

[@James-hh7hp]

No idea why I’m watching this. Won’t ever own one of these pressure washers 😂 great video as usual Matt

[@Mik3Hess]

27:57 Reason why you get smaller pressure on the gun is due to the design of this model which uses a down-stream injector for pulling in fluid/chemicals/soap. The down-stream injector valve if bypassed would not cause loss of pressure but unfortunately bypassing it in this model has not been made possible yet and seems like it won't be unless someone comes up with a solution mod.

[@MrShaunys1210]

Really good guide 👏 👌 now I've just replaced my unloader valve due to damage in my van, however the stop nut unscrews when I adjust the red knob, how do I go about securing that nut?

[@23hublock1]

I'm from the UK, and loving my K10 122 TS, it's so powerful. Only had it 3 weeks. Must ask, if I need to dis-assemble my pump at some point for seals, where can I find a technical sheet with torque settings?

[@user-jt3nf7in5w]

Maybe I missed it but is there a way to “store” the pressure washer for the cold months?

[@ObsessedGarage]

There isn't much you need to do. You can run RV antifreeze through it if you want to be extremely thorough.

[@939driver]

Looks like Adam Sandler in pressure washer business

[@johnwalters878]

Any idea if a silicone lube would be ok or better to use than Vaseline, such as Dow 4 for seal installation?

[@francishayden9547]

My kranzle 1151 st comes on when I press on the trigger there's no response from the pump?? can I get some help ? I have watched your videos and they are very helpful

[@KelvyGoveo]

What drill is this? What size hex bits to remove hose real?

[@melanielavens7184]

thanks, i could repair mine with your help ;)

[@TheFi1thyCasual]

Apex makes hi-torque bits that will work better than jamming a flat head into a round orifice.

[@justinmorrison3975]

Got to pour 🥃 for this one

[@RT-zg9qi]

What kind of oil is used?

[@RT-zg9qi]

Says 5W-50 Synthetic oil for use in Kranzle pumps on the KranzleUSA site

[@Antimatter.]

Hi Matt, It was a little unclear ,After every use I let the machine pump out the residual water 💦 , Is this ok for the pump ?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yep, it's fine.

[@Antimatter.]

Obsessed Garage Thank you!

[@clarityautodetails5304]

Okay. Fine. I'm buying a Kranzle.

[@Techguy004]

Such an informative video. Really sheds light on the quality of the product. Time to ditch the stupidjoe...

[@rustntrucks]

Hi, Many thanks for this great video. Can you help me ? I’ve got a issue with my all new Kranzle 1152 TST that I received this morning. The washer works a few minutes and stop. I can’t restart it before waiting a few minutes. It seems like the washer goes in « security mode » . I checked the oil level and my water supply ( enough flow ). What do you think ? Does my Kranzle have a problem ? Many thanks from France. (Sorry for my English)

[@ObsessedGarage]

You likely don't have enough power for it.

[@rustntrucks]

Obsessed Garage . Thanks for your answer. I checked voltage at the socket and I ve got 235V . That is correct for the french electric network. Manual ask at least 230V.

[@MoebiusUK]

Did you ever figure out the problem with the Kranzle? Thanks from U.K (Sorry for the stupid fishing rights issues)

[@rustntrucks]

@@MoebiusUK Hi ! Thanks for asking. I replaced the Kranzle power switch ( who is a thermal protection too : SCHURTER ABTWF120CO ) and everything is going well now ;)

[@lucasneves4357]

I bought the same machine for 60 bucks at OfferUp and I will open and make it work

[@bobclapper2672]

I may be buying one of those from you in the Future . Gonna run my AR into the ground first .

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

bob clapper I’d take an AR over this any day.

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

MajorImpact hey, sorry about that. I have a local pressure washer supplier/service center that knows both these machines very well. He’s says for the money AR is no doubt your best option, it’s very reliable at about half the cost and the parts are much easier to get if and when you need them. I have my AR630TSS on order from him as we speak. Thx

[@bobclapper2672]

Tundra Whisperer I just have a 390ss AR , hose isn’t cool , had to get all kinds of fittings to make it work with QD . It was cheap , I bought it 5 years ago , just now really using it after it sitting . It’s OK. But as I continue on , wanting to better my detailing , it’s not good enough .

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

bob clapper The AR630TSS is the real thing.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm going to tear down both pumps at OGHQ at some point to show the different designs. Parts will never be a problem in the future with Kranzle as I will have ample stock of all of them in the coming months. The AR is a crankshaft driven design. The Radial Axial Pumps from Kranzle are superior. Plus fit, finish, and electric motor is also superior. The AR is a nice lesser expensive alternative, but I never follow the advice of techs. I following engineering.

[@jeff4air985]

What is the 1152 behind you?

[@danstewart3894]

Jeff4air It’s the European model which is 220 volt.

[@CookieManCookies]

Dang, not a single link to all those parts... seal kit, valves, o-rings, not even the oil :( I guess I'll buy 'em "from the source", kranzle usa :(

[@ObsessedGarage]

Lazy

[@Fee.1]

I bet Mercedes America calls Home office “the Germans” too lol

[@1powerequalsgod]

Can hard water cause pump damage on these machines?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It can.

[@theglossboss3613]

I replaced the seals and valves on my 1122 this weekend and there was definitely some crusty mineral build up in the pump. My new shop has a better water filtration set up so I’m hoping the next rebuild it will prove to be cleaner.

[@hendrikspysschaert1688]

[@f32440i]

Germans are laughing at two guys fawning over their engineering creation. 🤣

[@deemdoubleu]

My take from this is to trust an expert and don't DIY.

[@fortuner123]

Painfully slow.
