will the unloader have the pressure preset?

 

ZWD4040 Comet Pump Triplex 4 GPM 4000 PSI - includes an unloader, thermal relief valve, quick connect, chemical injector siphon hose, and garden hose inlet with stainless steel filter - 1 inch hollow shaft and universal fits Honda, Kohler and Lifan engines.

Question; When I receive my pump will the unloader have the pressure preset?

• The unloader is not set exactly. 
• The factory uses a default setting that is close to the performance of the 4000psi pump.

• It is not a dependable default setting. 
• Please always check the oil level and start the unloader in the counter-clockwise setting until you can test the system. 

• You can increase the pressure by manually turning the adjustment knob clockwise until you reach the desired load on the engine. 
• Do not exceed 4200psi.

how to adjust and properly set a VRT 3 unloader valve

Hear is a step-by-step tutorial on how to adjust and properly set a VRT 3 unloader valve for a Water Cannon pressure washer:
1. **Gather Necessary Tools**: Commonly, an adjustable wrench and a flat head screwdriver and an inline glycerin filled pressure gauge rated for 4500psi or more would be all you need.

2. **Safety First**: Before working with any equipment, especially one pressurized, it is essential to first unplug or turn it off. Disconnect your pressure washer from the power supply if electric or disconnect the spark plug if gasoline powered for safety reasons to ensure that it doesn't accidentally turn on while you're working.

3. **Identify the Unloader Valve**: Locate the VRT 3 unloader valve on your  Water Cannon pressure washer. It is usually positioned on the side of the pressure washer unit and is typically a knob, bolt or a nut that can be turned by hand or requires a tool.

4. **Preparation for Adjustment**: Before starting the adjustment, open the pressure adjusting knob by rotating it counter-clockwise. This will minimize the spring tension allowing for easier adjustment later on.

5. **Setting the Pressure**: To increase the pressure, turn the unloader valve clockwise. To decrease the pressure, turn the unloader screw counterclockwise. Remember to make small adjustments then test the pressure before adjusting it further.

6. **Testing Adjustments**: Once you've made your adjustments, test the pressure washer by running water through it without turning it on. Check the pressure levels carefully by viewing the inline pressure gauge. 

7. **Fine Tuning**: Models may vary, but usually adjustment occurs by a black knob on top of the valve which can be screwed in for less flow (increased pressure) and screwed out for more flow (decreased pressure). 

8. **Lock Changes**: If your unloader has a locking nut, tighten it after you reach the desired setting. 

9. **Re-test the unit**: Re-test the unit to ensure it is functioning at the desired pressure.

Please note: This guide provided is basic and the exact steps could slightly vary based on the specific model of your Water Cannon pressure washer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety guidelines when adjusting the unloader valve. If the pressure washer still isn’t operating as it should, you may need to consult a professional for further assistance.

The unloader valve

 

An adjustable pressure feature for a pressure washer is highly valuable because it allows the user to adjust the amount of pressure being applied to the surface being cleaned. This can be particularly useful in situations where the user needs to clean a surface that is delicate and can be damaged by high pressure, such as a car or a wooden deck. By being able to adjust the pressure, the user can ensure that they are using the right amount of pressure to effectively clean the surface without causing any damage. Additionally, an adjustable pressure feature can also help the user save water and power, as they can reduce the pressure when cleaning less dirty surfaces, which in turn reduces the amount of water and power needed to clean the surface effectively.

ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE-Activated UNLOADER

                  

  pulsar/vrt3 and all pressure trapped

1. the adjusting nut is tightened to increase bypass pressure and loosened to decrease bypass pressure.

2. start with the machine off and the adjusting nut loosened (no tension on the spring). make sure the spray tip is correct for the volume (gpm) and operating pressure (psi).

3. install a pressure guage on pump discharge side of the pump head, or at the outlet where the pressure washer hose attaches.

4. start the machine with the trigger gun closed, the unit will bypass all the water flow from the unloader valve to the pump inlet.

5. with the machine running and the trigger gun now held open, adjust the unloader adjusting nut until the machine reaches the correct operating pressure per the machine specifications            (gpm and psi).

6. pull and then release the trigger gun several times, watching the guage and determine the spike pressure is no more than 200 psi above the operating pressure. adjust as necessary. tighten the lock nut to make the adjustment permanent.

7. make sure the spray tip is correct. remember to adjust the pressure spike to no more than 200 psi over the operating pressure.

8. tip changes – a green spray tip only indicates that it is a 25 degree tip. the tip size is the importan indicator. a 5.6 gpm machine at 35oo psi requires a # 6 tip size. the tip size is laser cut below the color coded plastic nozzle protector. a 2506 is correct for 5.6gpm@3500psi.
