@@RafaelHernandez-fj2oz you need a high pressure glycerine filled gauge. It will be attached to a T and will attach to the output of your pressure washer and your pressure hose attaches from there. If you find me on Facebook, I will give you pictures.
I have a speed flow as well, the top of the hydraulic piston head gets very hot within 15 minutes of use is that normal? Do you have any videos of repairing that issue?
I usually don't do Speeflo videos. Most of the repairs take longer and are more detailed. The hydraulic motor does get hot when used. The question is, does yours get too hot? Is this a machine you have used for some time or is it new? Are you familiar with them or is this a new type of system for you?
I had mine for 16 years used it once 3 years ago, went to fire it up and hydraulic fluid flowed from the piston fluid cup. Happen in seconds. I didn't even get it fully started. Put electric motor on, and it gushed out. Any idea? Thanks.
@@mattlord2906 yes, the lower seal in the hydraulic motor (where the leak is) has been damaged. This usually happens when the engine or the motor is turned off without turning the hydraulics off first. The piston over shoots the seal and the lower seal is damaged. The full hydraulic motor needs to be pulled apart to replace that seal.
@Brian_the_repair_guy ok, but I didn't get power to it initially. I pulled the start cord and rotated the crank of the engine. Are the parts available in a kit so I can just replace everything in the fluid/ manifold section. I have turned on many with that valve open for business, and this would be the first blowout. I was worried that not having a paint hose attached , but it happened the moment it cycled. Pressure was all the way down, and the prime value was open. I wonder if they sell a complete rebuild kit. If they do, is it the newer titan 6900? Or are they more specific than that. This pump was never really used. It still looks brand new. I used it 3 years ago because someone stole my other pump , so I finally got paint on it. I was about to sell it for lack of use and need the space.
@@mattlord2906 when these machines are turned on the pressures are unregulated. When that hydraulic valve is open, the piston strokes as soon as the motor or engine turns. Because it is unregulated at the start, it will over stroke up sometimes. You can get just that lower sea, but i do not recommend an unexperienced person try and replace it. This is a difficult process and even an experienced mechanic can have problems.
@Brian_the_repair_guy thanks, I have worked on them in the past, but never had this happened. These are like Toyotas that way. I rebuilt a Hydramax and multiple other pumps over a 35-years painting. Never had the pleasure of doing it on a clean pump.
Always taking the time to explain it !!!!
I hope this is something that helps you
Hi,very helpful thank u!
How can I check the pressure with a gauge and where will that be?
And what gauge do u recommend?

Great video!!! Thank you!!!!
Hope it was helpful
Hello..
You forgot to mention. To check hydraulic pressure first before. You do this step.. thank you
I didn't forget. This video was "how to calibrate the pressure control on a Speeflo" not "how to diagnose pressure issues on a Speeflo"
Great explanation 🐓👍🏻
Thank you, I feel I could have done better on this one.

@@mattlord2906 yeah, this one has a lot of steps, that is why I have never done videos on this repair.
