Pressure washer pumps

Pump Lubrication 


Pressure washer pumps are all classified as wet crankcase plunger types. The wet crankcases are not unlike the  arrangement for lubrications of the crankshaft of an automobile. The crankshaft is submerged in oil. As you might guess, wet crankcase pumps require much less constant lubrication. 


Most manufacturers recommend an oil change after the first 50 hours and also after 500 hours of operation then after. Water Cannon’s recommended oil to use is a 30W non-detergent oil. Our service technicians would recommend that the operator check the pump’s oil (crankcase) after each and every use to increase the life of the pump. Doing so will avoid any downtime for the contract cleaner or unnecessary warranty claim.
