@@CETIDIVING I am not familiar with this machine. Based on what I have seen, it appears most any 5gpm unit can be converted as long as you have access to the unloader, hose, gun and the other accessories

What is the cost for the board
@@donaldwong2801 depending on location, about $185
Awesome video man, thanks for the information. I have this exact same liner and it starts up, but once you squeeze the trigger it shuts the motor off. Any information will help if you can. Thanks
@@take1er find me on Facebook. You can send a video of the problem
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.
@@mattlord2906 yeah, this one has a lot of steps, that is why I have never done videos on this repair.

@@thatdiychick1164 pull the plug out. With the engine turned OFF, pull the rope. Just pull it enough to see if it will pull fully out. Let me know what you get.
@@Brian_the_repair_guy nope doesn't pull enough to fully pull out
@@thatdiychick1164 if the rope will not pull completely with the spark plug removed, then it usually means the connecting rod is broken.

It is 9:56 here p.m. I'm in fort Valley Georgia my name is Quincy Deon Robinson I have a pressure washer that is having low pressure which I checked the water filter and as well as took off the water pressure valve which is the black knob at the top of the pressure washer that controls the level of water pressure coming out but I never took off that vowel but my filter was very clogged up I cleaned it and everything but I attach my water hose to the pressure washer and it gave me more pressure than I had before with the pressure washer gun holes but when I reconnected my pressure washer hose with my gun that's attached at the very end of it it still came out as low pressure so how can I fix that
@@user-xd6tv6ft8u find me on Facebook. It will be easier to help
I was was using my ultra max 695 today hammering out some soffits with a thin primer as we do all the time with this machine it gave a reaction like it wasn’t enough power and then worked at a low pressure then cut out as the digi box is kaput there are no code signals. After about 20 mins of not running I fired it up again I used it for about 1 hour then it done it again it seems like it could be over heating somehow I’ll check under the cowling and fan tomorrow. Any one have any ideas.
@@GRUMPYHARRY1 depending on which series of 695, it could be overheating which would be motor replacement or the thermistor is going bad. That measures the temps. If it is going bad, the wrong temps will be measured. The thermistor is located in the motor by following the 2 yellow wires
Ultra max 2 I’ll check that tomorrow
This has to be the most detailed explanation I’ve seen and put in simple terms that anyone can follow, excellent job; just subscribed to your channel.
@@allanbanyacsky1986 thank you, I hope it helps

@@nismo2ful thank you for watching.
I don't have a tag on my pressure washer I have safety instruction in different languages.
@@iwin4985 is there something you need to know?
So when the thermal dump valve started dumping water did the temperature come down? So if your machine has a thermal dump valve, what you're saying is you still can't rely on the thermal dump valve to keep the pump cool?
@@kevindavidsaver5370 the thermal dump is not 100% reliable. The actual temperature needed to open can vary. Age and build up makes a difference to. But, it is better than nothing. When it opens it allows cooler water in to prevent the temperature getting higher, but it also may already be to late.

thank you!! very educational and easy to follow.

Just about to remove the pump, but it wouldn't come off. Then I watched the last part, and saw the part about the set screw! But B4 that, I saw how easy it was to remove the valves, I thought that would be a can of worms, but not so! Found tons or rust in the valve seats, rinsed everything out, and viola, it works!

What's the price of the board. I need to change my board too
@@DreamHEADSTUDIO depends on where you live. Around $225 to $280
You put a clear water bottle under the bowl and drain. Put the bottle towards the sky and assess if water is in the gas. Water is detrimental as much as oil.
@@mcgaheeluke9836 not sure what you are getting at here.
Oil and water be in the bowl.
I have a Canpump model 3030 pressure pump. Recently, the pressure drops 500-1000 psi. when the trigger is engaged. I changed the oil, started it, and now water started leaking at the bottom behind the unloader with now no pressure when the gun is engaged. It builds right up to 3100psi as soon as you release the trigger and the leak stops immediately. I did notice the oil is now a bit milky. What do you feel the problem is and is it worth fixing vs. getting a new one? It has approximately 75 hr of use on the pump. Thank you so much for all the videos you do for us, they are very thorough and easy to follow. Keep up the great work you do!
@@bradysassone5840 so the leak stops when you pull the trigger? You have no pressure when the trigger is pulled?
@@Brian_the_repair_guy The leak stops when you release the trigger and no pressure when the trigger is pulled.
@@bradysassone5840 find me on Facebook. I want a video of the leak

Hey can you help me understand why my fixed chemical injector is shooting water out like an unloader valve???
@@papintoodeep is the o ring in place the ball and spring in the correct order? Is it the right size ball for the injector?
@Brian_the_repair_guy I have a new 4200psi 4gpm gx390 with a fixed injector. I untighten the injector I seen a bent spring and a ball that look like a bb. But no o ring
Should o ring sit inside ,ball in middle then spring ?
@@papintoodeep depends on the injector. Most injectors the o ring goes in the nipple, then the ball and the spring (direction of the spring depends on the type of spring)
@Brian_the_repair_guy last question can I unscrew the injector that connect to tube. And replace it with a hex allen cap?
Should have watched this video first. Me: why wasn’t I pulling vacuum? Duh! You had too high a pressure tip on. Me: maybe it’s clogged, take the injector off, clean it in a solvent put it back on, not it’s just pumping water into the soap dispenser. Me: well fuck sake let me take it off again, and clean it again. Me : try to put it back and and I sheared it off leaving the injector threads, into the pump. All in all I figured out I lost the damn little ball when I pulled it off the first time.
@@sharkbait432 now you know for the next time. Good luck
OMG...quit repeating everything.
@@Richard-gn6hw that's how you learn, repetition. But you are free to stop watching
I have the same sprayer. 390 pc. Having the same problem. We jumped the pressure control and its good. How did you come to the conclusion it was the board? Motor we took apart and it looks good. I am assuming its the board but any way to determine its the motor vs the board? Thank you
Also motor runs for a sec then blows fuse. When we took motor apart, inspected and cleaned put back togetjer and runs maybe a half second more
@@michaelcypser9748 disconnect the motor from the board. Turn the machine on and turn the pressure up. If the fuse does not blow, but it blows the fuse when the motor is plugged in,it is the motor.
So at work we have a pressure washer with an external unloaded. Sometimes we with run water through the washer but nothing comes out the high pressure side. Inlet is clean. If we take the top end of the hose of the external unloaded water starts flowing normally. We put the hose back on and everything runs just fine. This issue happens usually when first starting it. Any idea whe our issue is?
@@mrmv42 is there water flow when you start the machine?
@Brian_the_repair_guy water won't flow whether it's started or not, until we disconnect that top hose for at least 1 second. Then it works fine. Even after we put the hose back on. If we shut it of and start it again it will also run just fine.
@@mrmv42 so you have flow if the pressure hose is attached? If this is the case, there are no worries
@Brian_the_repair_guy we have to take the hose off to get the flow to start. Then afterwards we can reattach the hose.
@@mrmv42 find me on face book. Take a short video of what's happening so I can see everything
So do you have both chemical injectors attached? Or do you plug one suction and use the quick connection one? Idk I need to know if you are using 1 or both on the machine
@@duderock123456 if you have one that is built on like the one in the video, you have to plug it to use the other injector.

Hi Brian.. Love your tips and detailed insight. I've got 3 Graco sprayers. 30y 390 - 495 and 695 and fix them myself. The 695 was bought used. Got it for a good price as it was totally drenched in paint, the top layer was a red color, oil based paint after it was used to paint a barn I think. There where hardly a spot of metal or blue to be seen on the machine housing or hose. Took a big brush and covered everything with gel paintstripper, the hose, wheels, everything. Was careful not to leave it on the machinehouse for too long and eat into the Graco factory paint. Toothbrush and scrapers etc.. Took it to the guy who sold it to me a few days later. He stood there gasping, it looked brand new. New seals and packings. Seeing some of the machines you work on, I wonder what the hell these people are doing. They have 15m of hose but It looks like the sprayer is 2m away from the substrate they Spray Mist from 1m away? I don't know ;-) I mean If you know it will be messy. I'll put some WD40 on and wipe it off afterwards, I cover the machine housing and move it further away. And I clean up when I'm finished 🙂
@@nodeal7337 thanks for watching. After 32 years of preparing this equipment, I have stopped asking how guys get their equipment get to such a state. There are a number of things you can do to prevent this as you pointed out. It never seems to set in the minds of many of the painters. I explain how it benefits them to keep their equipment clean and they make their choices from there The purchase of a sprayer seems pricey at time of purchase but the money you can make quickly clouds that cost in their minds. Thanks again for watching
