steam cleaner

[myion]

Can't see any numbers on it ...
But it really looks like a washing machine belt great idea
This is my first machine after having a couple of yellow ones so I am still adapting to a new reality

Hello again, hope you are all having a nice weekend
I have a seller trying to sell me a pressure washer, but seems like there is something wrong with the boiler / Coil ( see picture) the coil was taken out.
What should I expect here...worse scenario : It would only work running cold water ?

 

[Mursal]

Ask him to put it working cold and buy it as a cold washer.
Otherwise buy it for parts only ............
The heater part of them can be very temperamental even when working.
Boiler coil probably leaking as it has to take full working pressure. Can be fixed, if you're lucky but don't buy it thinking that.

 

[myion]

Thanks, good tip
Seems like they have remove the coil for some reason...did you check this pic?
And it´s not an old machine...View attachment 581190 View attachment 581192

Only one image working this end, I dont know what that bit is for that they took off.
No matter, if they can't get it working, it's probably not going to work, without spending more.

I think it´s the coil were the ignition plugs are located..one can see the fuel piepes...not sure

 

[Mursal]

So the burner slides in that hole then?
The burner should be almost identical (hopefully) to one in a home heating unit.
Temperamental especially out where you'll be washing ...............

 

[myion]

Yes it goes inside that hole and it´s secure by a couple of screws. Like this one for instance :

 

[Mursal]

Ah sorry completely different than I thought.
Probably no output from the coil pack on the side then so?
Not sure on cost

 

[myion]

Yes maybe
I will buy it and then see if it can be repaired. Otherwise will serve as a cold pressure washer.
this one has 200 bar pressure.

 

[Mursal]

Did you see it working?

 

[myion]

Not yet. I ask him to give it a start and send me a video.
I see a couple of loose screws on the front panel too, maybe they were already messing with that too.

 

[Mursal]

Single phase or three?

 

[myion]

3 Phase

 

[Mursal]

So long as you know, 200 bar would be top notch for a single phase motor.
Didn't want them covering the plug till you had it bought .....................

 

[myion]

Yes )
I will ask them for more details before making the deal.
This baby new costs around 3K

 

[myion]

Guy told me it´s a 240 Volt unit, 200 Bar.
But he is not sure if it´s working. What do you think?

 

[Mursal]

Happy days if it works, more demand for single phase, is he going to try it for you?
Probably have to take a chance on it?
Make sure you can take the hit, if its a pup

 

[myion]

Hi
You are right
The guy told me this came from a clearance and he cannot vouch for it´s working condition...
But well, since this is a shot in the dark I will try to see how it goes, he is asking 100.
